In absence of words. Well, except for the title. And a few thoughts below the picture...but otherwise in absence of words.


All money in pre-flop.

SB likes his hand, has me covered by a hair and proceeds to push. I wake to find to the scariest villains in this Grimm Brothers Book of Poker FairyTales: The Black Kings.

No surprise what happens next. 5th of 216. Okay.

Silver Lining: 2 of these things entered, 2 final tables. Also more than covers my 1/2 stacking Wednesday.

Net Effect? I heart Full Tilt.

Still. What could have been...

Nice run, dude.

How are the players in the 3500? Good ol' weak/tight players or are there aggressive players there too?

Mookie, JJ, Kat darlin', Wolf:
Thanks fer the support. I appreciate it.

Wolf, not sure I'm the right guy to answer given I've only played two of these things, but I'll say this: both final tables had at least two donkeys (three if you count me). On the way up I mimicked Hoy and Absinthe's long posted strategies and just waited the idiots out.

Literally, before I played my second big pot 109 of 216 were gone. Then I caught a small rush for about 20 minutes, doubled and coasted till the bubble.

Eric has said it about live and I'll say it about these; if you can hang at MATH, Mookie, WWdN or the Not - these are very playable.

Note me carefully avoiding irking the Universe with any hubris?

Me humble idiot o unfeeling universe...have mercy, have mercy...

Smokkee, slb and Hoy: the Roll continued! Ridiculous!

Eric: Could you please stop being so rough on her? Calling her a dyke is just unnecesarily cruel. I HEART Mel. And so do you!
