Hand #203: I go all in with 86 suited. 2K blind hitting in 2 hands. I'm desparate as hell with 5628. I win the blinds which is almost a double up, I'm up to 9528 in chips.

I have to fold both of my blinds.


Hand #207: K9 suited with an M of less than 2? Absolutely.

WHEW. copnverter fucked this up too somehow. Blinds aren't included. I actually win 16056 after the blinds and antes are factored in. At this point my M is just about 5 and that is still extremely desparate. I'm probably still going to go all in if I decdie to play anything.

Hand #209: Thanks! Gap concept, buddy. Go all in with QT suited in your siutation, but don't call an all in with it.

I have 42,839 after that win. This is where I was able to make a pretty easy move based on my image. The guy that raised to 6000 in the last hand said that he had 88 and would have busted me that hand. The very next hand, he raises to 6000 again. There's a call and I have KK. Pretty easy all in, and I might have been called anyway, but here my all in with AJ my last hand had to have helped.

And I now have 95,278 in chips.

I give back 5000 of it on the very next hand, calling a raise with pocket 7s, folding on a bad flop.


Hand #219: We're done with the 3rd hour of the tourney and the blinds are going up to 1500/3000 with 150 antes.

Stacks look like this:

Seat 1: Gebre (38406 in chips)
Seat 2: robbastow (17427 in chips)
Seat 3: monkey527 (67713 in chips)
Seat 4: radii (90178 in chips)
Seat 5: Duffer721 (70085 in chips)
Seat 6: VilN (7211 in chips)
Seat 7: suspect11 (59218 in chips)
Seat 8: j1eyedj1 (63108 in chips)
Seat 9: Skrewed (5340 in chips)


The blinds are so big here that no one is in great shape. I love my position with over 90K but my M is still only around 13 or 14 or so. Not enough that I can consider limping suited connectors or anything like that. But I know my stack size compared to average is very good at this point b/c of pokerstars' crazy blind increases so I should be able to put pressure on most anyone i run up against.
