Update: Sitting on 7447 chips (4900 avg) with 2139 of 3499 left.

About half the pros are gone. Brad Booth is hurting w about 1700 chips. Erica Schoenberg is kicking butt with 10k.

Presently playing in $1 + $0.25 90 player SnG. I know the vig is high, but I like the double stack start-off since it suits my style better, I think. I am presently #2 with 33 left. Payout starts at 18.

Solid #2, down to three tables. AJ got JQx on flop, J on turn; rainbow. RHO went all in with KQ. River zero.

Down to third at second break. My AJ, flop Axx, two hearts, went to a heart flush. Just one away from payout structure, though.

edit - Now in payout. Still third. Payout pretty much just return of entry fee plus a few cents til final table. My stack - 33k, #10 - 10k.

edit - Picked up a smallish stack. RHO went all in PF, I had AQs and covered him. He had KK, turn Q, River A. Suckoutish, but a win.

I'm playing in a $20,000 guaranteed tournament on PokerStars right now. I'm in 23rd place with about 1700 people left, still a lot of poker left to play but I'll keep this updated! My screen name is Cigar001 if you were wondering.

Back on track! 142nd

Also my pocket 10s lost to AQ earlier but that wasn't as big of a pot. I'm playing well I've always had my money in with the best hand just need the flops to come my way sometimes.

GL Sean!

3rd break in the Full Tilt 750k. 679 left with the top 522 paid. I've got 13,716 chips and the avg stack is 15,459.

Getting down to crunch time.

Finished #6 after poor final table play - called a few bets I shouldn't have. $4.95 less $1.25 for $3.70 net. At least I didn't spend four hours losing at the cash tables.

Went out 477th and in the money. Was pretty short stacked and decided to shove a 99 from middle position and ran into KK from the cutoff. Faced with the fold to more money or try to go deep, I chose deep and it didn't pan out.

262 bucks after getting in with a 26 dollar satellite isn't to shabby though.

Three hours for satellite, three hours for final, $45/hour. Surely above minimum wage and a lot more fun than flipping burgers. Way to go!

Havn't played in a long time but banged fifty big ones onto Full Tilt Poker and I'm up to $121.50

Not too shabby...ill update in a bit

I hate lucky crappy players.

Same guy rivers a runner flush against me twice in a row (without odds) and with losing/dominated hands each f'in time. lost $10 to those.

Won a seat this morning and am hoping the relatively high buyin (150+13) keeps the numbers low for an 'easy' cash. The big starting stack really suits my style so I'm looking forward to it.

48 in so far, paying 27. Huck Seed is registered as well.

Stars 180 seat $4- When we got down to 80 players I had seen 2 showdowns. Was 35th of 37, got up to 2nd, back down to 19 of 19, now sitting 5 of 8 at Final Table.

Well hell, finished 5th, 1st MTT final table in a while, although haven't had time for many. Other than a stretch after getting to 2nd place with 30 or so left when I think I was channeling Rippy, went from 2nd to 19th in a couple of rounds, thought I played pretty solid. About even I would say as far as suck outs against vs. suck outs of. Ah well, good fun & made a few bucks.

Hi just finish to play on 3 table omaha Hi/Low 0.05/0.10 Pot limit..
Need 50 raked hand to play in freeroll for this month...
Started with 50$ and 1h after go away with 77$ ..

I play 1+0.50 private trnys on FullTilt. lots of fun......

I am currently in the $1500 gtd at Victor Chandler.

Final table, 2nd of 8.
