HAnd #267: I hate doing this and I don't know why I did it here. I open-limp from the SB with A4o. BB checks. Flop JJ8. I bet and win it.
Hand #268: AA on the button. There's an early limp, i raise to 24K(4x the big blind) and the limper calls. Flop comes 884. i bet 36K and win the pot. I am up to 182K in chips there.
Hands #269 and #270: I open raise with ATs and AKo and win the blinds both times. I have 205K in chips at that point. "8th out of 86 remaining" according ot the running FOFC thread at the time.
Hand #275: the one stack at the table that can cripple me raises to 20K. i'm in the BB and call 14K to see the flop with KQ suited. The flop is all rags and I choose to check/fold instead of fight for the pot. Down to 184K there.
Hand #282: I commented on being terrified making that big bet on the flop against a guy who could crush me if he had a king in this hand:
