Met both Wetts1012 and Vekked today, great guys. We have chip counts from day 1 up now with player names and regions, truly is a coast to coast showing. Some tough tables for sure, we could pick any random table of the 192 player starting field for the $1100 and find at least 4 players with over 200k in tourney cashes or a canadian championship title.
A few hiccups with the 3 venue today, very small fields at Cash and Grey Eagle. We did not start the tourney at Cash and immediately moved the players to Deerfoot. Grey Eagle played down to the dinner break and the field was shuttled and placed at the identical table arrangement into the Deerfoot Field. The players where very supportive and played down to level 12 today, with 49 remaining. Will have those counts up at canadianpokertour.tv under the "schedule" tab by mid day. Day 2 won't complete till about 10 pm tomorrow most likely. Vekked looking great for chips.
I don't play tournies -- is this a good/normal structure where avg stack has only 20bb going into day 2?
Its not amazing by any means but decent. 20bb average stack is like your normal online freeze out for the most part. For a 1k live its not bad, in comparison the 1k's in port perry have about 10bb avg stack later on with chip leader around 35bb, and I'm not even positive they have antes. The 550 in brantford I last played had 20bb chip leader at the final table with around 8bb avg stack, so I'm def not complaining. Obv wpt type events will have 40-50bb avg stacks with 120bb or so chip leader, but those are 4 day or more.
Finished 10th in the 1k today to get money back, wetts was still in with a an ok stack, prob sitting around 6th, not to sure. i had about 60k blinds 2500/5k button raise my BB i shove with 33 he has ak. O well.

I just got back to Calgary, does that mean Wetts is through to day 2?
met wetts,
got my free monies,
played live pokerz (for about an hour) for the first time in a couple of months,

Today,
woke up at noon,
realized had 17k cash,
went to bank with said cash,
bank would not deposit said cash,
spent remainder of day with cash stuffed in my pants like a crack dealer,
met gta,
gave away some monies,
watched gta bluff some guy after obviously meaning to muck,
They basically said that theyre fraud nits and told me to deposit in toronto.
unreal, and serious why did they give you cash and why did you walk around with it. im no one to talk 17k woulda killed me in like 35 mins. but if the bank wouldn't deposit it i woulda made a hilarious (only to me) scene with the irony

That's what I say every week at Ching Hill. Good fortune in your next event, Darryl . . .

I guess people adjust. I would say no but I saw the following yesterday:
1) Old dude at Vekked tabled limp/folds with like 5BB. He had an awesome golden bull card protector tho so hes ok by me.
2) Young kid shoves like 12BB and middle agish guy with like 30-35BB open folds AK.
3) I shove 3 consecutive hands with like 9BB from HJ,CO, Button. When I ship the button BB open folds 55.
I guess my point is, to alot of the field, 20BB is like a mountain of chips.

Pretty sure it was a golden wolf, or else I'm an idiot for referring to him as wolfman/wolfy.

Run horse run
which event #?
I see event 2 and 3 listed as 1.1k events
...so he is final table?

Sigh. Had like 500K chips of the 800 in play 3 handed. Make a probably bad shove with K10dd and villain wakes up with A10.
HU hes got a 450/350 lead. I open AQ min from the button he flat. Flop Q63 I bet 55 he flats. Turn 10 I shove he calls 10/6 spades gg me.
Have to go to work soon.
