This guy had gone all in about 10 hands straight and most of the time was showing crap... so I waited and waited then this happened:

It was a satellite to a $530 satellite for one of the LAPT tourneys in Argentina (close to where I am now). I really wanted to play. Fortunately I got my money back and the guy ended up finishing 3rd (only 1st and 2nd got tickets to move on to the $530 game).

Appears to be the same week for me on stars...tried shove/fold with only top pairs...sucked out on 3x. Tried only playing 9's and up..zero small cards..but normal strat. every time, ahead..sucked out on...back to playing anything/normal, situational dependant....and yet again...KK beat by QJ...
