perfect.

also futuredoc, you're really losing EV not playing these you boner. your rake pays for it so maybe you should make it more of a priority.

I am actually registered this week for the 20k and the 100k.

At work but its slow at the moment, so I might actually get to think about a decision before I make it. Though, that may not be a good thing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I will never ever even make it deep in one of these tournaments since I can't even win against a dominated hand.

Button raises all in with about 20BB's. I have A9s in the BB and call figuring I am ahead. Villain shows A5o, 5 on the flop. Never fails.

So as usual, I am now short stacked and will soon be shoving something like AK or AQ and will get called by A/rag and be done. Its a weekly ritual in these things.

If I can just cash, I would be excited. I have yet to ever even make a dollar in these freerolls.

Well I was close. Actually raised w/AQ and called a shove all in from BB. He had AJ. Didn't lose but did split the pot, so still can't win against a dominated hand.

Here is the beauty that knocked me out of the 20k.

Rats, out of the 100k early on crap play and crap luck. Looking good in the qualifier though...the 20k is lame unless I final table...
