Well, he loves the breast so there's not much I can do at this stage anyway. Just hold him as he sleeps between feedings.

A little less than 5 hours to go, only 3 for the real money and 4 for the play money.

Also, I may need to take up someone on a transfer/paypal later down the road - once I get a bit more fundage, I'm going to try and see if echecks are still valid for me.

Well I cannot play this round, as I have work. I will try and avoid getting Sunday (AU time) shifts over February but apparently it's going to be a busy month :(

GET HYPE!

I'm so ready for one of you to hit me with a sick beat.

Meanwhile, I'm playing some .05/.10 PLO cash games.

Bleh, I had an awful game. Because my table was 4 or 5 people the whole time I overplayed every barely decent hand that came my way. I must've lost 90% of my chips on various Ace rags.

There's a fine line in short table play that's easy to cross.

I've been watching replays of the Sunday Million final table and I'm actually really suprised as to how many Ax (even AT and AJ) are open folded even when 3 and 4-handed.

hmm think I had to make that call. gutshot straight and 2 overcards, was getting slightly better than 50/50 on my money. Oh well gg.

I'm currently 2nd with 4 remaining in a double shootout satellite into the Sunday million. Hopefully that ends better

edit nope it didn't 3 way all in KK vs 77 and he hits a straight on the river, out in 3rd, bleh.

Was a bit lucky to have pocket kings vs pocket queens at the end.

Hopefully I can jump into the real money game next time.

So this was my first time playing with you guys, GG all around.

I really wanted to come in with a win, but finished 3rd in both the play $ and real $ games. Totally unacceptable.

There was some insane action in the $3 game. Huge pots, bad beats, and constant raising made it really entertaining.

Congrats to Zimbu, for the real money win.

Yeah, I thought you were bluffing...
It's just that I wanted a more dramatic showdown.
Anyway, that was a fine game and there is always next time, hope there will be some more players.

On a side note, if you have money on Full Tilt, play in the Big Little Tournament (BLT) tomorrow.

The Big Little Tournament is a monthly micro-stakes tournament with a huge guaranteed prize pool (and a huge number of entrants). The tourney takes place on the last Sunday of every month at 1:00 PM, so the next one will be January 29 at 1:00 PM EST.

The buyin is $2 + $0.20. Full Tilt has this set up as a multi-entry tournament- so you can buy in up to six times and play six tables at the same time (not a rebuy tourney, it's different). The guarantee is $200,000, with $18,000 for first place. Of course you'll have to surpass the current field of 60,000 that will assuredly get higher as the time comes closer.

Interestingly enough the tourney is capped at 100,000 players so the prize pool won't get any higher. The actual tournament is structured as a pretty fast turbo and the players are all really really really bad. The entire thing usually lasts no more than 5 or 6 hours from start to final table.

Something wrong with the leaderboards? They're not counting last week's sessions it seems.
Click to expand...

Leaderboards are weird how they're set up due to being beta and all and I screwed it up (I originally had the season length set to "Yearly" for Event #1. I switched it to quarterly after and that apparently started a 3rd season).

The official leaderboard will be the sum of Season 2 and Season 3.

^^ Yes, indeed. It just occurred to me our game was today and figured I'd post as well.

Playing the weekly play money tourney has gotten me back to playing my oh-so high stakes $2 sit and go's on Bodog. I have a feeling I'm due for a bad week having actually practiced and having gotten kinda lucky the past two weeks.

See y'all in a few hours.
