Rebuys !

Ok today was the rebuy event, $1k a rebuy, and if you wanted
to do all necessary rebuys and addons (double), it would cost
4k. Due to losing a few races AK v QQ and another one, I ended
up spending 6k and ended up on 12k in chips which was ahead
of average after the break.

Daniel Negrenu missed being moved to my table by one, which
was a big disapointment. As most people know, in rebuy tournaments
he spends a lot of money, last year he spent 47k ! This year he
seemed more subdued.

After a good start everything that went wrong post flop seemed
to. Id raise with KQ the blind would call with 8-4, and flop came
Q-8-4. Then id raise with Qs and it would come K high, and
theyd re-raise me all in. Then perhaps i made a mistake when
I pushed with 7s against a guy on 8-4-2 flop, not putting on
an overpair, but he had 2s. Somehow i survived a few races,
and held around 10k, till there were 160 out of 850 ppl left.
Money started at 81, but I needed chips ! With blinds 400-800
my AQ ran into AK and the youngest bracelet winner ended
up knocking me out near 11pm. I guess I was pretty happy
how i played pre-flop, just post-flop wasnt the best :( Anyway
no money, but more encouraging. Tho encouraging pays
shit.

At least Benjo, the French frog came along. We had a few
beers after , got IDd at the paigow table at ballys. Where
they dont accept foreign drivers licences. Had another
beer went and at least managed to pkay some pai gow,
which is similar to chinese poker, but of course the casino
always wins ...
