Yeah, I neglected to mention having dinner with Andrew (Foucault) was great. Great poker mind and a good guy.

I will have Layne Flack two to my right at my new table, but with only 19k (he was three to my right the first half of Day 1).

I'll write something up tomorrow morning. Right now, it's sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Just got back to my hotel room. I'm still around with about 78K in chips. I was up near 175K at my highest point today, but then basically nothing went my way during the last one and a half levels, including the very last hand of the day which went like this:

Blinds 600/1200/200. I open for 4K in CO. Tight BB makes reraises 9K more. I call and see a flop of 972r. BB pushes for 90K and I fold obviously. He shows QQ.

Average stack is now at 77K, so I'm doing alright with 50 BBs. I got a really good Day 3 draw (no big names, and I'm only 3K behind the leader at the table, so I'll be able to push people around on the bubble).

Also, if anyone cares.... the first poker article about me: link

Great article.
It sounds like you have a fun and supportive family that is very proud of you and your accomplishments both poker and non-poker related. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Good luck the rest of the way!

True, true, and true. Off to bed, before I humiliate myself further.

i just want to say that theo tran is a pretty solid douchebag. i hit a sick card on the river on him in the 3k limit event and he wouldn't shut up about it, even calling his friends over to mock me. also from then on, any time i would win a pot, or if i would have to fold before the showdown, he would shake his head as if i were some total donkey. i'd like to smash his grill in.

so then we play this hand.. i raise K9d in late position, he 3 bets me from the button. i call. flop comes 9 high one diamond.. i check and call. turn is a small diamond, now i checkraise him, he calls. river ace, i bet he calls and shows AK.. sick 2 outer.. anyway he didn't say a word there.
