Stars $11+R Tourny Jan 20th.

Just after the rebuy and add on stage, I am sitting in 24th with 16,750 chips. High is 45,000, average is 10,000.

I have been having a run of good luck lately so I figured I would give this a shot.

  • 2nd break I am hurting at 13,500, High 60,000, Average 19,800. Blinds are at 300/600 with 50 ante.

    I have to make a push soon, I have a meeting in 10 minutes ago. :D

    I called my client to tell him I would be late, he says "Why, are you playing poker?" LOL

  • SWEET!!

    I just won a 58k pot, JJ vs 99, my JJ held up.

    Sitting in 10th of 58 left. Top 27 get paid.
  • Bring that horseshoe on the 18th please.
  • Sitting in 6th of 41 at the break.

    75,000 chips, High 101,000, Average 49,500.

    I won a few races, I haven't been sucked out on yet, and I am still playing tight. Or so I think. :D
  • Very nice!!! Going to go check it soon, good luck and roll that dough in! :D
  • Keep it up MDS! I'm going start railing you, but stupid PS won't let me observer talk since I don't have funds in my account. :rage:
  • Too bad you didn't get action on that quad you had, that would have been fun! :)
  • I really thought Chessgamer was going to make a huge bet if nobody else did, oh well.
  • don't forget my 10%............gogogo
  • 19 left, I am in 15th with 41,800 chips. I made the money at least!

    Just waiting for the next pay ou level before I start to throw my chips around. I was card dead for the entire 3rd round, except for my nice little AA vs JJ that held up. :D

    Thanks to all of you railing me, your support is appreciated!
  • Continue the good work! I'll check on your progress later! Good Luck!
  • Came back from lunch and you're in the top 10. Keep up the great work MDS

    Edit: Make that final table.

  • Very nicely done! I'm assuming that YES!!! that you wrote was about that straight you hit but he did hit is full house. :D

    Very well done again and kudos to ya!
  • I said YES because when the 10 hit I thought I had him beat with a higher straight. I didn't look at his hole cards until after the hand. When I got the window popup saying I had finished in 5th, I thought HUH? Then I looked through the hand history and saw his pocket 10s. I thought for sure he was on the straight draw too, I was praying for the 10 so I would win outright, or the 5 for a split pot.

    What a great rush that was. That is my best finish ever in a tourny, and for a $31 investment ($11 buy in, $10 rebuy rght away and a $10 add on) I am pretty pleased. Having all the rail birds really helped me too, because it made me think about my cards more, I was so afraid of a "Why the hell would you call that??" post. :D
  • Congrats dude!
