On the Scottwire

I was hoping to go to Atlantic City on Wednesday to get in some live practice. However, the state government had other plans as the casinos had to shut down because the state is having problems passing a budget. So all state employees deemed non essential were on hiatus until the budget is resolved. The casinos themselves are not state run, but the state monitors are employed by the state and the casinos are not allowed to be open without monitoring.

I decided Wednesday evening to play a $5 rebuy on Pokerstars. In the third orbit or so 4 people decided to go all in with me while I had AA. It actually held up and I now had a 7500 chips stack from 1500 starting chips.

I managed to work my way up to 22k chips which was an average stack with about 450 players left. 150 make it into the money.

Blinds are 400/800 and I raise to 3000 I think. SB calls.

Flop comes QT6. SB checks. I bet 6000 into an 8000 chip pot. SB check raises me all in (he had 55k chips.)

I call.

Turn 8

River J giving him 2 pair and I'm out of the tournament.

On a good note, the cash games are going very well and I'm averaging a little over $100 a day so far this month :)

If I get anywhere in the WSOP tourney on Monday, I'll try to have my wife post here with updates. (FINAL TABLE HERE I COME)

That's it for now. I may not have another post for a few days. Leaving Saturday and then Monday is the tournament. Until then, so may the flop be with you all!
