Thanks. I am going to need it. Really running badly so far and getting short. Lost about 1/4 of field so far.

Ok back at home and had some time to think about what happened today.
1st of all it was amazing to just be back at the tables today. What was really nice was how big the turn outs were. I have played in wsop circuit events in the past at Bally/Paris and several times in Foxwoods. I was in the senior's event and the the prize pool was $199, 280 for a $300.00 buy in. The main event had over 915 runners and was over 1,3000,000 prize pool. While there may not be much tournament poker in the northeast yet there are a lot of people playing and money was flying. Most of the regular poker room was full of cash games as well. Having played several of these senior events in the past this was by far the biggest turnout I have seen.
As for my play, While I was happy to have a good read against 2 other players on turn in a pot, I open raised I bet out to win my 1st hand with 5th pair based on my read they were not happy with anything one the board. I really don't feel I played so well early on. I was too tight in my opinion but part of it was bad cards or jut borderline hands in EP that were not good enough to play.
after the break I started to play better but ran into a flopped straight against my 2 top pair. I made an error on a river call and was then just short as the blinds went up. I actually dropped to under 10BB at one point before I made my comeback. While I played the last 7 levels well and almost became an average stack again, I was just short enough all day to be stuck against my back to the wall. Sadly, I ran into Kings the last hand but I player over 5 hours of poker and had a good time.

Big turnout sounds hopeful for the future. 2 1/2 years since last live play & seems like you were happy with how you managed yourself, your expectations & the cards you were dealt. I'm going with congrats & good luck down the road.

Yes it was George. Hard to belive how much action there was. Really makes me hopeful for the future. I am stunned Foxwoods has not started to run more tournaments, Kept hearing players wanting more tournament and the money was flowing. Lets hope soon my friend.

Hi Masha. Yes you are correct. Happy as could be just being back at the tables. Your correct i was overwhelmed with excitement. It was better to play and be this way today than in June when I play in the World series. Hopefully I can play one more before that trip.

Nice job on the cash Mate.
Saw that. i am thinking about the satellites as well. Love the Sunday game. $500.00 buy in. Yeah that will not work for me. LOL The Wednesday game is not easy for people with jobs so I cant do that one either. Someday.. I hope soon. Cant wait for the Playground Poker club to open up tournament's again.
