out, f this. Time for me to take a couple of weeks off and learn to play poker. Out when top pair loses to turn flush, i've lost money whilst clearing my bonus, i'm tired and pissed off.

gl to those still in.

[NHFunkii]

got down to 2k a couple times, up to 13k now. I am going to win this tournament. There is nothing you can do about it.

[DownLow]

14k at second break, same as the first. I never can seem to make ANY chips in this hour.

[NHFunkii]

I am so good at poker. Someone needs to learn how to be isolated.

Thats funny a buddy of mine and I had a discussion about that the other day. It seems that whenever I have 5k-8k I managed to double to 10-20k easily or bust.

But when I start the second hour with 20k+ I usually never manage to gain anything and more often than not start hour 3, if I make it, with the same stack give or take a couple K.
