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 
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…;)
Just a quick note on the way as I am leaving for the airport. Not sure yet on what day I will start out on in the main event. Day 1A-D will occure 3-6 of July. You can find the official schedule here and I will come back with an update as soon as pokerroom let me know what day I will play.Cheers for now.
A bit late but it is still worth another comment. As a follow up of the Absolute Poker scandal, yet another site has been caught with “Super user accounts” that make it possible for the user to see all the opponents cards (search on youtube for the Absolute Poker examples). The “new” site is the Phil Helmuth branded Ultimate bet which have the same owners that Absolute poker (oups…) Undisputable evidence can be found here and the general advice would be to switch sites asap.
Also, as a comment for today (Quote from Cardplayer) on Daniel Negreanu’s victory in WSOP event 20: “After hugging his mother and high-fiving the crowd, Negreanu exclaimed, “Negreanu - 1, Ivey - 0.” Negreanu is referring to his prop bet with Phil Ivey, involving who would win the most bracelets at thes year’s series. Ivey must now match Negreanu, or else be out $200.000″. Looks like Ivey is doing more bad bets than on Craps. Now, go and have a great WE!
As I just won a pokerroom.com $17.500 worth package to this years main event , I better celebrate it with re-opening this little hi end, self righteous piece of poor excuse for a blog. However, the Vegas trip was already booked anyways, but it will hopefully be cheaper this way… The fine crew of Pokerroom even made it the “front news” on the site when “Stakeajake coming all the way back from the short stack at the final table to be in the thick of thing”. Isn’t it cute? ;) WORTH TO MENTION for the interested is that PR is the only Ongame skin that have a number of $500 WSOP satellites each week which really do have some good value (and for the cheaper lads; if $500 burns to much, yes there is $50 rebuy sat’s several times a day ;))
Since I had to make a move right away I was hoping for good cards to improve my odds. I started out UTG which wasn’t precisly the best possible starting point and my first hand was 43 off. Fold. Next hand (big blind) I got K6 off with one raiser and one all in. I wanted to be all in with just one guy so I folded. Next hand (I am on small blind). Everyone fold to me. I got the fantastic hand 94 off. Although, I thought I had a good chance since a probably shouldn’t be blocked if he called. He called and shows A6 giving me a 60/40 shot. No one hits and the Ace hold up making me about nr 800 (of a little more than 6300 entrants) in the result list (top 13%) and 180 from the money.
Now I need a drink. I’ll be back later. Peace.
Hokay…time to panic. It has been a pretty rough day, specially after the dinner break. Only the last period (75 minutes) I was all in 6 times. Didn’t really got paid off and didn’t get calls very often. And the antes and blinds are starting to getting cruel. Ended on 21.200 so I must double up a couple of times pretty quick. I’m not sure yet of all statistics (everything is changed consistantly) but we are about 800 left. I have heard two numbers regarding the money which is 621 and 549. I’m not sure whish is right (if any)… It’s gonna be a tough thing to get to money anyhow but “a chip and a chair” and all of that… Two early all ins tomorrow and we will see what happends. Now I need my beaty sleep. Take care all!
The reason you havn’t heard from me is because I’m still in this madness. Playing it like a roller coaster I got down to 13.000 when I finally hit something and got really paid off with my A 10 (hitting the the top pair; 10 on the flop). Two hands after that i got AA on the big blind and managed to double up. I raised and got three callers, flop came K 10 6 of hearts, I raised 9.000 and got a call. Turn didn’t mean anything and I doubled up to 68.000. Ater that I had a slow period until I got KK on the big blind again. Re raised the small blind (and two limpers) from 4.500 to 20.000. I was put all in. I called and he shows….KK as well - split. After that the antes started eating me and I then got my QQs cracked which now have got me down to 39.000. Avergage is about 100.000 and there is about 1.000 players left. Blinds will be 1800/900. That is: no panic but I’m back where I started this morning. So conclusion…ACTION!
Hope NOT to write again soon. Remaining players will play until midnight.
45 minutes to go. Yesterday the played about 9 hours to get down to the 350 peaple that will continue tomorrow on Day 3.
Keep your fingers where they belong. It worked out last time
