PokerStars weekly: Can I do it again?

[SirFozzie]

300K plus prize pool.. first place pays about 70K.

Despite 15 minute rounds, they give you plenty of chips to start: $2,500

[SirFozzie]

I am at Table 7 to start.

[SirFozzie]

Wow. 7th place up earns five figures

[Logan]

Good luck. I'll be checking in on you.

[SirFozzie]

Lost an early hand, where someone underbets his K, and my queen falls. Down to 2K

[SirFozzie]

Pocket 8's defeat Pocket 5's. back up to 2350

[SirFozzie]

won a big hand, forcing the last player out with an all in at the river. Up to 2900.

[henry296]

did you have it

[MJ4H]

You need an avatar, foz. just dont make it a picture of your crotch.

[SirFozzie]

I had a good hand, two pair A7.. not the nuts, but he wasn't acting like he had the straight

[SirFozzie]

Aces get me another 500. Was hoping to induce a call when the flop came KJx/

[Fouts]

when you say "can I do it again", does this mean you have won the big pot before?

[SirFozzie]

Ok. Slow play question here:

BB: Aces, two callers, trying a slow play.

Flop comes KJx. First to act bets 100, and gets a call.

Is a 500 raise too much?

[henry296]

Does pokerstars have 1 table free money tournaments?

[SirFozzie]

Wow. Pocket K's split with Pocket A's when the board is all spades. Glad I wasn't in on that hand

[Logan]

That chop was NUTS!!!

[JAG]

Go Foz!

[SirFozzie]

Building slow and steady. $3500.

Assuming that's about the size of the pot then I certainly don't think its too much. in a no limit tourney I really don't want 2 people coming along with me trying to draw out on my aces.

[SirFozzie]

Moved to Table 45.

Agreed. You want them to fold. Bet the minimum amount that you think will make them fold :)

I was just noting what an ingenious feature it is that Stars has added. When a player is ALL-IN, there is no chat allowed. To me, this kind of thing is what makes Poker Stars the best place to play tournaments on the internet.

Finished 22nd before, there's a thread somewhere around here on it. Search for "skaredkrow" ;)

Earned me about $1100

[SirFozzie]

Somewhat crippled by a loss to a pair of kings. Down to 1300

[SirFozzie]

FUCK.

That's all I have to say to that.

[MJ4H]

river sucked

[RPI-Fan]

To be honest, though, that's going to happen once in a while.

You got your money in a HUGE pot (compared to your stack), and you were dominating the hand.

[SirFozzie]

*shakes head* That's the kind of hand you need to win.

Fucking River Queen.

KJ (me) vs QJ vs 910

J high board on the turn. Queen flops on the river, making a straight for the 9-10.
