Still alive in the $10+1 PokerStars 10 minute blinds

[cartman]

Howdy all,

Well, I'm in the $$$. Now it's how far I can go. We are on the 2nd break, and I'm sitting in 10th place chipwise out of 57 left. Once we resume, the blinds are $1k/$2K with $100 ante. If you wanna cheer me on, the tourney # is 5472293 and I'm currently on table 89.

[Lathum]

I'm at work so I can't watch, but good luck and give 'em hell.

[GoldenEagle]

I am tuning in.

[cartman]

I haven't had any hands to play, so it's been slow for a bit.

[cartman]

got moved to table 72

[cartman]

muscle move didn't work, all I had was an inside straight draw

[GoldenEagle]

Was that an attempt at buying the pot?

[cartman]

crud

[cartman]

Kojack in a suit lost to Ace-rag

[cartman]

moved to table 54

[cartman]

lucky move, I don't have the blinds for a cycle

[cartman]

man, I've gotten crap hands as of late. Last 4 have been 64, 73, 74, and 83, all offsuit

[Lathum]

Where do you stand at?

[cartman]

jeez, I haven't seen a pair, let alone any face card in the last 10 hands. Talk about a run of cold cards. Not even a suited connector...

[Lathum]

GOOD LUCK!!

[cartman]

Here goes, all in with AJo

[GoldenEagle]

Tough situation for him. He will have to gall all in with next decent hand.

[cartman]

excellent. Got a reprieve

[Lathum]

Double up or just the blinds?

[cartman]

ugh

[cartman]

OMFG!!!!

[GoldenEagle]

w00t!

[cartman]

went all in with KQ, the guy flipped over pocket rockets. I sucked out a Full House

[GoldenEagle]

WOWOW!!!!!

[GoldenEagle]

Went from dead to 60,000 hips with a lucky draw but that is poker.

[cartman]

I'm now sitting in 4th in chips

[cartman]

now at table 96

[cartman]

WOOT

[cartman]

four of a kind 8s to push me up to $100K

[Silver Owl]

EXCELLENT !!
Good luck Cartman.

[GoldenEagle]

Four of kind 8s puts cartman way up to $100,000 chips. That is good for 2nd place.

[Lathum]

How many left?

[cartman]

20, almost down to 2 tables

[cartman]

blinds are at $4k/$8, so it won't be long now

[Lathum]

wow, thats awesome.

[cartman]

lucky guy

[cartman]

that's ok, I just got all of those chips back :)

[cartman]

down to 2 tables, I'm in 3rd in the chip count.

Moved to table 59

[cartman]

ouch

[cartman]

excellent

[cartman]

got the chips back, with interest :)

[Lonnie]

very nice

[GoldenEagle]

Tough luck.

[Silver Owl]

Nice !

[GoldenEagle]

Wow.

[cartman]

boo yah

[Silver Owl]

[GoldenEagle]

CHIP LEADER!!

Heh these threads are fascinating for those not actually watching the tournament. No description of what's going on. Just a bunch of cheers and jeers. :)

lol, that's true...

[cartman]

next break can't come soon enough, I have to take a leak!!!

:D

[GoldenEagle]

What does it mean when it says the tournamnet is now hand for hand?

EDIT: nevermind

[cartman]

that means they are about to move to another level in the prize money. It's to keep people from stalling. No new hands are dealt until all the current hands at all tables are finished

[cartman]

woot, final table!!!

[Silver Owl]

Final table, Cartman 2nd in chips.

[GoldenEagle]

That was quite the draw by chrsity.

[cartman]

they respect my authoritah in the big blind :D

[cartman]

had to bow out of that hand. I had a pair of 9s, but there were two overcards on the table

[GoldenEagle]

playfast needs to get a better ISP.

[vtbub]

lol

[GoldenEagle]

That would have to be the ultimate tilt expereice for me. I would call my ISP an cancel them right then.

At least cartman gets to piss.

[cartman]

ok, here's the sit-rep.

At the 3rd break, we are down to 7 people, and I'm in 2nd place chipwise.

When the break is over, the blinds are $15K/$30k, with a 1500 ante.

And some strange poker jargon.

[cartman]

And some strange poker jargon.

at least it's just being read, not listened to in some undecipherable Scottish accent... :D

[cartman]

chip leader just knocked one of the guys out, putting him 300K up on me, in 2nd

[cartman]

down to 5

[cartman]

but I'm on another cold card streak :(

[digamma]

What are the pay-outs up to?

[cartman]

down to the final 4

[cartman]

at least $547

[digamma]

at least $547
Not a bad day's work.

[cartman]

not a good time to be getting crap cards...

[cartman]

doubled up with pocket Qs

[Silver Owl]

great !!

[cartman]

down to 3

[cartman]

ugh

[Silver Owl]

that sucked !!

[cartman]

he called my A2 with his 42, and got a 4 on the flop :(

[cartman]

That was potentially a $400 suckout

[digamma]

Reset the chip count, Vince.

[TLK]

nice job cartman

[apoc]

GG Cartman you really should have folded that last hand though since the other guys were already all in you had a great shot at moving into second place and up $400 in prize money. Other than that GG man ;)

[Lonnie]

Way to go cartman!

[Silver Owl]

Congrats, 3rd's not too shabby.

[GoldenEagle]

Who won second/third there?

[vtbub]

Cartman 3rd, gg

[cartman]

3rd place, not bad. $730 for a $10 buy in.

It all ended on one hand. I went all in with A5 suited, small blind went all in, and big blind called. BB has AKs, and got a flush, knocking me and the other guy out all at once.

[cartman]

the other guy got 2nd, because his chip count was higher at the start of the hand. All because he lucked out with his 42 call.

[cartman]

Well, that'll pay for the blinds I'm finally getting for my bedroom... :D They are builiding a house in the field out behind me, so I finally broke down and bought some. Before, all I had to worry about were deer and other wildlife spying on me.

[cartman]

mega dola,

Thanks to everyone who was following along. It's always good to have a peanut gallery... :D

[Maple Leafs]

Well, that'll pay for the blinds I'm finally getting for my bedroom... Big or small?

[Lathum]

Good Job. It's been a while since I've needed a peanut gallery, I am on the cold streak from hell.

[cartman]

Big or small?

lol

medium cellular blinds...

[cartman]

GG Cartman you really should have folded that last hand though since the other guys were already all in you had a great shot at moving into second place and up $400 in prize money. Other than that GG man ;)

I thought about that, but since I was going to be put all-in on the next hand because of the enormous blinds, I figured A5 suited was as good a hand as any to make a play with.

[apoc]

I thought you were the BB that hand and had like 10k left over to call with. I may have remebered it wrong if you werent the BB then it didnt really matter and you pusshing the last of your chips there was a good move.

[cartman]

LOL

I just got an email from my boss congratulating me on my 3rd place finish. Turns out he was watching as well! :D

I guess that means I have to work late tonight!

[Silver Owl]

I think he WAS the big blind with about 13000 left. Small blind would have put him all-in on the next hand.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Good Job. It's been a while since I've needed a peanut gallery, I am on the cold streak from hell.

Actually, I voyeured one of your games briefly Sunday night (a LHE sit-n-go IIRC). I didn't say anything because I was busy losing money of my own at the time & realized very quickly that I'm not capable/ready to try to play two tables AND watch another one all at the same time.

In hindsight, I'd have probably been better off just watching you play, woulda been cheaper.

[CleBrownsfan]

Great read this morning - I was laughing my ass off... "OMFG" - "WooT" ;)

Good job Cartman!!!
