Playing a $3 mtt ...... 849 players started 10 minute blinds ......43 minutes gone and down to 404 players so far in 20 position ........ you would think it was a turbo the way people are playing reraising preflop and going all in with A,9 ...... crazy
anyway i have 7,000 chips after some very loose calls when i raised with pairs so doing ok blinds only 40 80 so no rush on me and no pressure yet

he he maybe but survived till break 317 left still have 7000 chips ......blinds going up to 60 120
strategy play cool for now but if i get short or blinds catch up gamble .... rather go early than bubble and rather risk a big double up and have a chance at the good money than limp into the money as 100 place only pays $3.86 ........ just checked really have to gamble allright as 10th only gets $28
So i predict whoever gets to the final table will have to take a lot of chances
anyway more later
------------ ouch just ran into trips when i hit my ace and lost a chunk ...... got some back though when i hit a ace in another hand ... now have 4,260 so still ok
------------ nice ....... called 3 times big blind raise with 9,9 ... flop comes 4,4,7 both check ... turn ace i bet 600 he calls river comes 9 i bet 1000 he calls nice pot for me then win nice pot with A,q raise get to calls and win just now win another with A,k nice now have 11,797 chips and am in 28 position and 178 players left ........
