So.... seat 1, aka annoying guy, turns out to be champie douglas.  Not someone you would be afraid of but a good player none the less.  He raises to 2200 in middle position on my big blind of 800.  I call with AQ and the flop comes AT6 and i check.  first mistake.  Champie checks behind me as the turn is a blank.  I bet 5500 and he quickly calls.  The river is a J and i push all in.  I get a call.

I open my AQ and champie shows JT off. GG. 

I should have fired at the flop and pushed all in on the turn.  i dont think he can call in that position and i'll pick up the pot right there.  fuck i hate the rio.  I can't wait to get out of here. 

My world series consisted of 6 events, 22.5k in buy ins, 65 hours of play, and one cash of 2600.  With last longer bets and a  cash i spent 4600 to play all those events and kill all that time.  Thank gawd for blackjack cause i'm up 3500 for the trip but lets not talk about roulette.  I got enough to play a sat for the bellagio cup tomorrow...  maybe i'll just walk over to chipolte and get a burrito.  that has a guaranteed positive outcome.

i gotta poop.

Started off with 7k at the begining of the 3nd level and I pretty much had my tournament life on the line with 9d9c. I raised it up to 1200 preflop and got two callers. The flopski brought 6cJc2d and I bet out 2k and the random old guy with the new shirt raised to 5k. Random asian guy folds and after a few moments of donkey thought, I called.
Old guy then proceeds to check it down with me. Wtf? Flush draw? I show my 9s and drag the pot. Okay... I'll take it. I don't show any of my hands for the rest of the level and I run my stack up to 45k. SNAP! Its miller time!

Grinded down to 6k when I doubled up with aces against queens. Since then I keep completely missing flops and getting reraised.
Random old guy and random interet player have been busted and were replced by random old guy #2 and random euro with bad skin and bad facial hair. Maybe I'll introduce him to jessica simpson's world of proactive. The highlights of the day include watching the video of Helmuth crash a nascar and gavin farting while swinging in wii baseball. At least I'm having fun on the breaks On the pod: The Garden by Cut Chemist Brunt Pride by Latyrx Nobody but You by The Black Keys

In middle position I look down at KdKh and make a stanard raise to 300. Seat 8 calls and Annoying Guy in seat 1 reraises to 1300. I think about it for a minute before re-re-raising another 2500. Seat 8 folds and before his cards hit the muck Annoying Guy re-re-reraises another 5500. Hmmm. He could have aces here. So I call.
I figure to I'm going to need to gamble in a few spots on the way to the final table. Or at least on the way to dinner break. If I hit the king I'm going to get all of his chips and if I'm wrong I can get away from the hand. The flop falls 9sQs2d. No decision here. I check and Annoying guy insta-shoves. After few seconds of deep thought I fold the kings face up. Annoying tries to muck his hand but ego gets in the way and pulls the two cards out of the muck to show them to the table. He proceeds to tell me that it was a good lay down. No shit sherlock! I respond by telling him it was an easy lay down and I almost layed it down preflop. Oh well. Down to 10k. This is where fun begins! Table draw: Seat 1 - annoying guy (raising a lot then thinking for 5 minutes when some one raises him. Now he's playing with milwaukee's best light (aka the beast) flash light thingy.) Seat 2 - random middle aged dude. ( Wearing a nice dress shirt he bought just for the tournament) Seat 3 - Larry aka Mr Wobbles ( his shirt has his name on it and he has a severe case of the wobbles. In fact its probably a medical condition) Seat 4 - Santa Clause (he's lost some weight, trimmed his hair, and sporting a generous ammount of bling, but I swear its him.) Seat 5 - random young guy (tried to raise the first hand of the tourney to 150 with blinds at 50/100. Maybe he thought it was a limit tournament.) Seat 6 - random asian guy Seat 7 - random old dude Seat 8 - JDN Seat 9 - random internet qualifier Seat 10 - random asian guy
