Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
[ QUOTE ]
So, it appears that my luck is changing: I am in a donkament right now. I have outlasted half the field, still have over 1/4 of the average stack. I have played 4 hands so far and stole a small pot. Otherwise, the tables have been wild and shoving, and I'm not paying attention, really. Edit to add: As I was writing this, I finally won a race: my AJ is better than your middle pair. LOL. [/ QUOTE ] Donkaments are the most soul-crushing form of poker ever. You'll make the money and get all excited because you think "This is my time. Justice, baby." Then AK < some moron's pp, and you win just over a buyin. Then you cry. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
I hate donkaments too, but it is a healthier outlet than Omaha, which I enjoy.
So, from the same guy I won the race from, I doubled through with J7o vs KQo when I flopped two pair and shoved him AI on the turn. Steel a few pots and blinds and I am about average stack right now, though my chances are probably grimm. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
I'm in the money now, and I just tripled up by busting two people in one hand. LOL calling all your chips with second pair with a straight, an ace, and a flush on the board. I have >2x the avg stack.
