lol, potd... but actually I'm already registered. The question is do I create a BAP....
Ah... I call 10%.
Hopefully I make it out to Milo's and will give you the cash there. Que the run good... I hear Ted has a breakfast/wizard that is good for that or just ask Pudge to ship you some.
Thanks Moose, just a few minutes late.... Geesh, you would think I was a good tournament player.... Or maybe it's just that people think these Brantford players are that bad?
Or maybe someone wants to give 5% to Moose?
Wait list 5% please.

Thanks Ron. No rush for the rest of you, I trust you all... oh and did I mention I have the ban hammer?
I like the way you think.
Of course, if ya can't trust an admin who can ya trust.

TID Dad!
You can chop with wetts when you get HU.
Sorry Moose but it takes an old guy like me forever to type in a text on my old phone, don't have one of those fancy qwerty keyboard.
OK so trip report of sorts...
Meet Wetts at Hyw 401/25 commuter lot at 8:20. Wetts hops in and off we go. I immediately rub his arm and he looks at me strangely... Oops, what did he think I meant... Immediately I explain it was to rub off some run good for my own personal (as well as my bap'ers) use. He's ok with that... I think.
First stop the local Timmies for the obligatory bagel and tea/coffee and away we go. Much discussion on poker strategy and forum characters occupies our time during the trip.. I do not drive the wrong way down any one way streets.
We arrive relatively safely at the Brantford casino at 9:30, well ahead of tournament start. Check in and get our seat cards, luckily (for me at least) different tables and I get table 8 seat 8, Wetts I believe was at table 6 seat 4 or 5. For the 1st hour and 3/4 my table is pretty loose passive pre and tight post. We bust no one until the last 15 min before break, then bust 3 in quick succession, two in one hand. The AA hand I tweeted about came only 5 hands into the tournament. I'm in the BB with AA 6 limpers to me at the 25/50 level. I have no idea how much to bet to narrow the field so stupidly I think that 300 should be about right. Nope, I get 5 callers, only the SB folds.
Wow this is fun, I get to play AA, 6 handed way out of position. Why don't i just fold now... :-\
Flop K,J,5 two diamonds. I bet 700, why I don't know.
Have 3 or 4 more small mid pairs miss the flop over next hour or so, twice call with suited broadway, once raise in late over 2 limpers with one of my favorites 8,10 suited. Miss each and every flop to fall to about 4K. Level 3 100/200 I get AA again, this time UTG. I limp since almost every hand had been raised except this time we go to the flop 5 or 6 handed unraised.. Oh joy, great playing comp... ??? We get a K high rainbow flop and I check.. Gotta play pot control now. It's checked around. Turn brings another little card, I check again and after eeryone else checks button bets like 375. I gotta call.. Everyone else folds, feel better now. River brings another blank, check he makes same bet and I call, he turns over just top pair 7 kicker. I apologize profusely saying I'm likely good and turn over the AA. He looks at me like I'm crazy and says I sure didn't put you on that. No sh**, didn't I play that well.. :bs: This at least gives me a little more breathing room with almost 6K.
Next orbit I'm on the button with AK off, raise to 600 and 1 caller. Now about 1700 in the pot and I push. Blinds fold, first raiser folds and caller thinks for what seemed like forever, then folds AJ suited. Damn, wanted that call. Now I'm finally a little over starting stack. Wetts is cruising with like 30K as his table has knocked out 5 people already.
Bleed off some chips and with blinds at 3/600 50ante, I have maybe 6500, folded to me in the SB, I push with q,7 suited. BB folds K,9 faceup. I tell him I had a weak A.. Next hand it's folded to me on the button and I shove AQ off. SB (same guy) calls almost immediately leaving himself like 1200 behind and BB folds. He turns over A,5 spades and I think great, this will get me back to 80% avg stack. So what happens? of course he f***ing flops the flush and I'm done... Can't believe how you can call off 80-90% of your stack with A,5.. :mad:. Guess he though I couldn't have a hand twice in a row. He was right, cept this was the hand that I did. Stupid game.
Leave to cool off while waiting for wetts to take this down. He has a lot, not sure exactly but lots.
I come back 45 min later and Wetts is short stacked with like 8-9 bb. Apparently he got shoved into with 30BB when he had AQ and op had KQ. Flop is KKK and he's almost crippled. I didn't know that happened to a player of Wetts's calibre. 5 min later, just before 2nd break, Wetts is out when he shoves 7-8bb with 4,5 suited? Gets called by 2 players and loses to a set of 9's. Back to Milton we head...
Summary, decent structure, some very bad players, dealers were decent from my perspective, tables and chips are ok.
