Logging the Riverchasers

So I'm going to try and be a regular on the bloggament circuit going forward. I went out of the Mookie last night in 26th when a new player (one of the chip leaders) got moved to the table and opened into my BB from the SB and I shoved with A2. He had A9 and I didn't improve, but on the bright side, I did win a last longer with Loretta and chimp, so I still turned a mild profit.

So right now I'm in the riverchasers, and I've already had some interesting hands. I'm going to blog-as-I-go because I know I'm gonna forget these later.


Here villain is running 30/18/9, so I know he's playing this pretty wide.

I have baaadly misplayed a couple hands here... Sitting in 9th after the 2nd hour with 15 left.

Sinking... 7000 and falling. Need cards soon.

Chipping up after getting JT back to back and stealin' some blinds.

Efff. Decide A5 is good on 753 after some guy with an 8.0 aggro factor who'd already stolen a few pots from me without having to show, and run it into QQ and don't suck out. The end, in lucky 13th.

Bleeeh.
