WCOOP TD2-7

[MarkGritter]

I'm out in an embarassingly low 402/649.

Liveblog here: http://markgritter.livejournal.com/410664.html

Badugi and I got seated at the same table there (when mine broke) and at the same table of the 2nd chance.

I exploited the hell out of Mark in the main, but haven't been able to much in the second yet. And now I just got moved away from him. I'm not sad.

Out 250ish in the main. I think I was the last TD specialist. Not a good day for us, sadly.

I'm still in, but I'm currently enjoying that no one recognizes my Stars screen name as a TD specialist.

Yah, I have no idea who you are. I'm pretty sure you're not the one regular I still recognize. Then again I've been out of the cash games (for [censored] personal reasons) at least since you started posting again. You could have been playing a lot and I wouldn't know.

I hope you take it down so you have to tell your SN.

I recognizebi-one, pstarfish, xtracey, octane, 3boris, pimaster, sandy, mcpeanut, bbqbowser as ppl I've played with. Some might not be that good, but are prolly better than the field.

Luckily, I went out before the bubble. So, my SN is safe.

I have been told that I don't play enough for people to recognize my screen name. *shrug* It's a good problem to have.

I think the structure was actually fairly good, but anyone that lost 3-4 hands in a row was out.

The play was scary bad. So, I'm kind of surprised that more regulars didn't make it further. Anyone think that playing super tight starting hands would work out better than a traditional cash game range?

Well late you should really make a lot less thin value plays, do more freezes with 87 and 86 type hands, so that you can lose 5-6 hands instead of 3-4.

I'm surprised too, I think I had some of the best starting tables in the field, whereas some tables were stacked with 3 guys playing the 30 game.

I had guys drawing 1-2-1 routinely, staying pat with aces, saw a guy call a check raise and stand pat behind with 77532 with one draw to go. Just kept getting dealt 8743 type hands, and lost 2 of the 3 times I ended up with better than 87.

I got hammered pretty heavily in the second round and managed to nurse a shortstack for more than three hundred spots without ever getting any traction. It seemed like a lot of other good players were also just getting hit too hard with the early suckouts to ever build a stack.

I know I was gambling a lot early, in the hopes of getting big or going home quickly. Unfortunately nobody could ever put me away.

I won the second chance. I think I was at your table bugstug in the first td tourney
