PokerStars $215 500k!!!!!

[JSchnett]

table 291

[THEOSU]

I'm in on table 49. Full concentration here after 22 < 77 on the 872 board in the party 500k. So much for my plan to win both.

They're bumping up the guarantee to $750k starting in February. They clearly feel secure they'll meet it, and I don't blame them.

I'm in table 63. Question here about what to do on this flop....about 3rd or 4th hand.

So he raises before the flop, and slightly overbets the pot on the flop into 3 other players. Doesn't look like a continuation bet with high cards. So it's probably either KK, AA, or maybe AT, KT, etc. Suggestions for hero?

You only have 3rd pair and no read. Looks like a fold to me.

opt. aces cracked by AK when he turns broadway.

damage control kept it only a t1k loss however.

today is going to be a good day.

I know I say this every week, but I hate this tournament.
