70 left, I'm 35th in chip stack. Table 509, gangly joker.

Wish me luck!

I gave a good chunk of it away on this hand however:

I'm watching. Good luck. Already guaranteed at least $2500.

nice! I'm railing right now. You can make it to that final still!

.

Very nice cash. You have now earned in that 1 tourney about as much I have my entire poker career lol.

I get there just in time to see the knockout hand. I'm bad luck.

I should have taken a min. to figure out why he just didn't move in with this hand. I guess the blinds were pressuring me to move, but this shouldn't have been it.

Can I have a dollar? Also, what's your ROI now on this?

by **mewsiclovr** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:40 am

Do you play in these often? I had no idea you play this high.

by **mattaca** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:43 am

I won a seat via. a $10 satelite so I eventually I'll be happy with the $3250 pay-day :lol:

but right now its pretty painful.

by **mewsiclovr** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:45 am

That's a big brag for a small-midstakes grinder. Congrats!

by **mattaca** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:54 am

Thanks Mews, it is a big win (I've only had one bigger). And its only the second time I've played in the Sunday Mil. I play the satellites pretty regularly but normally I've just take the T$ and trade them for cash.

Once I sleep off the "what-could-have-beens" I think I'll be pretty happy at the result. 44th out of 6700+.

Thanks to all that railed me, even if it was for only like 5 min. :lol:
