The beginning and the end

ByJakob Andersson on July 10, 2008

Hi all, trying to push with the hands I got I picked up JJ on the button in the end of the first period. Blinds 500-250 with a 15K stack. Everybody checked to me and I raised. Small blind with about 30K reraised to 5K. I got all in and he calls with A 10 off. An ace hit on the flop and it holds up and it is all over. Thanks for all support and Good luck next year ;)


Day 2

ByJakob Andersson on July 09, 2008

Day 2 starts in about 90 minutes. The field is confirmed to 6.844 players and a little more than 3.000 are still in. The average stack is a little more than 40.000 (compared with my 17.800) and blinds 500-250 with 50 in ante. Will come back with updates asap. Hopefully my card average will change to the better…


First day done

ByJakob Andersson on July 06, 2008

I have had an extreeeeeeemely cold day. Actually quite pathetic. Its so sad I get depressed writing about it so lets just say that I am om 17.500 in chips with 250-500 in blinds coming up on Wednesday which is the start for Day 2b. It doesnt get better after my table neighbout within 10 hours get 5 AA 6 trips 4 full houses (etc etc) and the best hand I get is JJ and 2 AK. Tilt. I guess this is not my tournament so far but I am more than happy to change table before Wednesday. Ill be back!!


Game day?

ByJakob Andersson on July 05, 2008

Sorry for the lousy updates the last couple of days. Bizzy times ;) I finally got the confirmation for my starting day which was the 6th. The funny(?) thing is that when I showed up the the registration with my confirmation number they tell me that I have been moved to the 5th which is tomorrow. TILT! How badly organized can they possibly be?!?! Luckily i DID go there yesterday and I can just imagine the poor people they might have moved without telling also coming in just to be told they have been blinded off in 5 hours… So, tomorrow it is. Chip counts here. The simple strategy will be to have a good juicystack after day one or none at all. Laters…;)
