Out Day 2 I ran AA into a set. AA cracked twice in the tourney grr. Frustrating.

Tough break for some forum members but definitely still a good showing. It is definitely one of those times where you want to have you %%% hold.

I guess next time I see some of you guys I have to start pulling in autographs....got a lot of future Sirwatts and Chorons in the making with these kind of numbers in 10K buy ins

Noticed a few familiar names still in the running to start day 3. I think former forumer FREEROLL was still alive but short stacked. GL to all that are left.

Sir Watts is busted; any Canadian amateur names to watch?

westside8

Timex and PA is still in afaik. Anyone can update the table situation with cash games?

Yup, busto. I won't complain about being card dead because it's been an incredible experience.

The 5/5-10/25 cash games have been juicy with huge stacks, including winning a pot from "fishbird", the most annoying Fallsview player whom pkrfce9 previously complained about. When I win a pot, a sore loser sometimes berates me and this time, fishbird shouted as I was leaving the poker room, "Enjoy my money, you bird!"

Day 3 was stopped around 8 PM when there were 27 players left. I am rooting the most for two local players, Bosko Basaric (27th last year) and Glen Witner, both of whom I was discussing strategy with prior to the start of Day 3. There are a bunch of other Canadians left, including Gavin Smith, Marc Karam, Ryan Fisler (last remaining player from Waterloo) and Dashmir Zyli (I think I used to play with him in the free bar tour, & his seat also cost him just a $170 satellite).

Hi All,

If this doesn't belong here sorry.

I would like anyone’s input on how you would have played this hand.

WPT – NAPC
Blinds are 2000/4000 Ante 500
There is roughly 10 minutes left of this blind, then will increase to 3000/6000 with 500 ante. The play for the most part has been really tight. Generally, any decent raise takes the pot.

I have 102,000 in chips

9 handed.
I’m in seat 3
Button is on seat 4
Small blind seat 5
Big blind seat 6
Seat 7 folds
Seat 8 raises to 21,000 My read on seat 8 is highly aggressive. He has been raising with any King or any Ace
Seat 9 folds
Seat 1 folds
Seat 2 folds
Seat 3 (Me) pocket 88

I imagine that most forumers have probably read about this hand, but in order to get feedback I will post how I played it after I get some feedback.

800OVER

Anybody care to post the list of the remaining players?....I can't check WPT at work. Any big names left other than Gavin?

Did Kathy Liebert have you covered?

Was this a standard raise from her? - or was it an extra large raise?

Has she been raising Kx/Ax from EP (like in this hand)? - or just in position?

It's 21k to call and you have 102k. That's a very awkward ratio. Too risky to push because most of the time you get called you are dominated.

Calling would be terrible because you would basically be set-mining.

I'm leaning towards a fold.
