First in, Last out

[Primitive]

Hi again guys and gals.

Great reports everyone. I'm not going to make a big one but here are some random notes.

Great group of people:
Once again I'm astonished by the quality of people showing up at these events. Everybody was nice and friendly. Kudos to a great community.

Hanging out:
Before I left I had decided to play less poker and hang out more (than last year). Somehow I messed that up . Sorry

WPT event 14, $500+60 Buyin, 500+ Entrants.
Felt I played great and timed my moves perfectly. Was never in serious trouble until the bubble broke (all my (called) allins was either with the by far best hand or coinflips I could afford to lose). 2 missplayed hands ITM killed me though. No worries, wanted to get drunk anyway

ITH Tournaments:
Fun as always. First limit tourney I played every hand during the 3 first level (and was up). Got crippled by a flush over flush hand and started to play in the dark. Straight - Straight - Flush for my first 3 dark hands. Not bad

Only tourney I tried to play seriously was the main. Unfortunately my table image was not the best . Anyway, made final table before I donked away most of my chips to Jane. Fun game.

$10-20 Limit Holdem.
Wow. thats one messed up game. 90% of the players are loose preflop and passive postflop. Soooo much dead money it's unbelivable. Had some strange conversation with a couple of guys who "was there to gamble". They did not recognise (limit) poker as a skill game If you get the cards you win, if you don't you loose. Loved those guys.

$10-20 and an ugly downswing:
Such loose games got to be swingy. After most of you left the downswing hit me hard. 3 brutal sessions where I almost got no cards and my few big hands got cracked cost me 90 BBs (ouch). Luckilly I was up 120 when the downswing started and managed a +50 BB session the last night so I managed to get away with some money. The downswing was no fun though.

Pimpin:
Staking a few ITHers in the $10-20 game was both fun and profitable. Anytime guys.

Thanks to Bugs for hanging out with me and giving me a ride to Newark..

I had fun hanging with you Prim. Im suprised you were able to leave that nice suite of yours....

I can easily see potential for some bad swings in that game if you arent getting the cards....

BTW I just had a closer look at your avatar and I cant believe that it took me as long to find you as it did in the poker room (maybe 2 minutes)

Nice report Prim. Sounds like those 10/20 games are awesome by all reports... it also sounds like the ITH crew took a decent chunk of change out of them.

It sounds like you cashed in the WPT event... what was your payout?

[Primitive]

They taxed me. I lost 40 bucks

I knew that would happen so I played it more for fun than for any positive EV. Decent structure for a $500 event.
