Is anybody around tonight? If so, stop by and say hello. I’m playing in the dollar buyin on Ultimate Bet. 929 entered, and the top 100 get paid. As of the first break, my stack of 16k was good for first place out of 418 remaining. The average stack was 3k. You might want to make it snappy - Historically, I run up a good stack and then blow it on a dumb move.

As of the second break, I’m in 10th place out of 162. I have 21k, and the average stack is 8600. The last hand before the break, I saw a crazy suckout! Guy wound up taking first place in chips, knocking out two players and crippling the second place stack when he hit his straight on the river for a 42k pot.

Save yourself the trouble. Things aren’t looking so good. Told you I’d mess it up.

Well, oddly enough, I’m still hanging in there as of the third break. 30 players still in it. I’m in 8th place with 60k, and the average stack is 46k.
With my stack at 2205, and the 1k/2k blinds hitting me in the next hand, I push with QJo. I’m called in 4 places. The flop comes A-9-8 rainbow. The turn is a beautiful 10. A 9 on the river worried me a little bit, but when the cards were flipped, my straight was good. The very next hand, I’m dealt QQ in the BB. The hilton sisters never hold up for me, but I still pushed. A miracle - they beat down ATo and I doubled up.

Well, I finished in 18th place when my queens ran into aces. IGHN (actually, I go to bed now).
