Big turnout -- more than 5,400 players. Anybody else in?

DAMN!

I got a flush draw on the flop, and some idiot goes all in and another idiot calls on the SECOND HAND. Both had a pair of nines, high hand with a K kicker. I fold.

Spade came up on the turn, would have given me the flush. Neither player got anything better than a pair of 9s.

And then I get movied to another table. Yeesh.

[TLK]

I'm there..... but I'm working also, so I may be sitting out a bit....

[kcchief19]

TLK, I just saw you go down. Tough break.

No regrets..... I couldn't believe he got the second 10 on the river though.... What's your name over there?

[kcchief19]

matt_fof. Original, eh? I'm getting my butt kicked on table 568.

[Huckleberry]

I'm in. Huck L Berry.

I see MattJones4Heisman also. Gorgonian.

You guys are in better shape than me. I was doing OK after I folded the flush draw, then I made a stupid call and got knocked down. I haven't been able to get any cards since then. I'm down to $435 and the blinds are 50/100, so I have to win soon to stay in.

Finally some stuff going my way. I knocked a guy with pocket aces out because he waited until I had three sixes to go all in.

[Huckleberry]

Oops.

finished 938th. couldnt flop a hand to save my life. was widdled under 2000 waiting for something to play, so went allin with a pair of tens. called by 2 people, the winner had AJ.

[Huckleberry]

Finished 872nd. Lost most of it when the Q that gave me three of 'em also gave the other guy a straight.

2029th here. I hung on for a while after I made the mistake noted above, but I didn't really have a chance. I did double up a couple of times at the end, but when you're at $150 you really need more than that to make a comeback. I've done it before, but you need the cards, and I didn't get them today.

I'm still kicking myself over folding the flush draw. If I had just gone all in and said to myself it's OK if I go out in two hands, I would have been up to around $5000, and that would have kept me around a lot longer.

I've got to learn to have a more aggressive strategy in freerolls. If two people at my table are willing to go all in on a pair of nines and I've got a flush draw, I've got to have the guts to stay in.
