Out 776 for 15.5. Crippled to 10k shortly before the bubble. Doubled and clawed back to 30k, then folded junk through the RforR into the $$ w 22k left. I'm pretty sure I then got moved to strassa's table (not exactly sure what he looks like - young kid in the 9/10 seat w Stars shirt and 460k chips a bit before the dinner break..?) Apart from my 22k, the smallest stack looked to be about 150k, with a few 300-500k's...I had no chance. Pushed K9 before the 2nd set of blinds hit me; AK just behind took care of me.

At least I can say I played poker at a table with around $2 million on it.. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The quality of players was really soft, particularly for days 1 and 2. Totally weak/tight/passive, with some loosies thrown in there.

I played like crap today and throughout this tournament, but still got lucky and cashed. Meh, a major learning experience about all the work my game really needs. I made some real blunders.

I also made a correct decision to fold into the money once the round for round started, based on the very flat payout structure and my M of between 2 and 3. Doubling up would have done little for my overall $equity, but I knew I could fold into the money. So, I folded AK twice and took my $14.5k.

I feel weak and dirty, but it was the right $EV move.

No shame in that, congrats on the score

With the board showing A83J, Daniel Negreanu bet 15K, and his opponent folded. Negreanu showed AA as he collected the pot, increasing his stack to 56K.

Totally correct play; the payouts too flat to do anything if your stack is a baby one. I thought about it and decided to limp AK and push AA/KK during RfR w my 25-30k stack. Everything else prolly mucked (tho I mighta small raised QQ & limped JJ-99 to look for a set (my table at that point was seeing some limped flops).

How long are they going to play tonight? I thought they'd stop at 600, CP's got it down to 550 already...

Dmitri Nobles Bets $200,000 Every Hand?
Dmitri Nobles has $653,000 in chips. And unlike many players who stack 40 or more chips on each other with a giant chip stack, Nobles is stacking them in stacks of 20. They take up so much of the table, that he has $200,000 in chips almost over the imaginary line where a bet would be placed.

Asking to get angle shotted.

What happened here? His graph goes straight down at the end so I guess it must be a typo.
