Nope. I'm 0/1.
Played the $225 UNLIMITED REBUY tournament. Here's a lesson for life. Make sure to completely read the details on AVP before you take your friends money for BAP. Had I know it was a rebuy, I would have not played. With my own money and 4 or 5 rebuys, I might have been OK but not BAP money.
There's actually not much to report. I only won 2 pots in 4+ hours. Best hand I had was JJ, made like $1200 with the blinds at 100/200. Other hand I won was after jamming 1010 pre to a min raise. The guy folded. I was pretty card dead, and after playing flop junky for a few orbits and hitting SFA, I tightened up and try to played Table Captain. That also didn't work as nobody believed me.
For the first two levels, no raise was respected. Almost every hand went to showdown. Basically a Westside (no offence Brent/Al) with some OK players and a few fish. Saw a guy jam $12K into a $600 pot with top pair when another player flopped the nut flush.
The only interesting thing to happen was when I spilled my beer on the table. $1 Billions to build Bellagio, but Steve Wynn couldn't put in cup holders and the tables were to close together to have a drink table beside me.
My busto hand was pretty tipical of the play I saw. Villain 1 raises pre to $1K with the blinds at $150/$300/$50 , called by V2. I jam my short stack of $3000 (like I said, I was madly card dead) with 10s, only to be called by V3, and V1 & V2. (Yes, I know they weren't going anywhere with my small raise.) Flop is 679, two diamonds. V1 checks, V2 jams $10K, V3 jams $10K, and V1 naturally calls. Cards roll over, V1 has K8os, V2 has KQd, and V3 shows 66 for a flopped set. Talk about drawing thin! At least I put it in ahead preflop!
Anyway off to dinner tonight, and then heading out of town to Railway Station for cheap drinks and $1 craps.
Keep sending the #rungood, I'm playing Aria $125 tomorrow.
