You will probably see many familiar players there, like pinotte It has been a while since i last saw you here. So it may as well be a lucky return, in poker tables by finishing in the money. Welcome back and good luck.

Hey Ronin..... How you doing? Haven't seen or heard from you for ages. I played the game last night but didn't see you. How did it go? Hope you haven't lost your touch. I find that sometimes when I don't feel up to doing anything I get my head to say.....'awwwww! Just fcuk it! I'm gonna play like this is my last game ever and really focus and enjoy it and I find it takes all the worries and issues away!'

Thank you for all the kind words. I did not have a good run at all. I was totally card dead for the first hour or more. Once I finally got some semi decent whole cards (pocket jacks) the idiot russian at the table who had shoved all in preflop for like 8 stright hands shoved all in preflop again.
i looked at my pocket jacks and said "screw it let the pain end". I called as did another player after me and he had pocket Aces and his Aces held up. I was never so glad to be taken out of a tourny before. It was just so painful being so card dead right from the start.
Hope other did much better then I did. Wishing you all the best

I dont like pockets J's at all. I do a very passive play with them. I call minimum blinds, check and fold. I have lost so many times with them that its ridiculous. With lower pocket pairs i have much better results. But, thats just me
