mewso

Have just about enough to buy-in. Toying with the idea.

Juan Pablo

Do it! Vegas Baby

mewso

So whats a good strategy for this kind of tourney then. Tight as a newts arse or take some chances early to build a stack?

mewso

Over 200 seats in this now based on entrants. Starts in 15 minutes, 6600 entrants.

I'm in. Bought in directly, since the satellites seemed to be utter crap shoots.

234 seats going!!!

Also bought in to the FPP Barcelona one, so I won't get too bored and have a "backup plan"

mewso

Yeah bought in myself after all. Can just about afford to throw $370 away. Could be a long night.

jacQues

Is it just me or is PokerStars lagging like crazy?

My pc is soooo sloooowwww right now.....

Must be the sheer size of the tourney!?

ocallagh

Out in 5909th place. Pushed on a flush draw and didn't hit. Sod it. A break from poker until I fly out is in order methinks.

kinaldo

Played this but as soon as the first hand was dealt my laptop suddenly decided to go into meltdown and my internet connection kept going. Very first hand KK in the sb my laptop freezes 2 minutes later I'm back just in time to see my hand folded and the flop dealt out. A few hands later 55 in the sb laptop freezes again I time out missing a chance to stack a guy who showed KK. Shortly after I get KK again this time I'm heads up first to speak on a J high board in a big pot - laptop goes haywire and I time out. Very next hand I time out on JJ. Tilted as fcuk the hand I went out soon after was disconnected 3 times postflop. Thinking of smashing my usually reliable laptop... it has to be +EV

I won't be playing in the wsop this year. but gl to the rest of you.

I was stoping and going on any flop but it was too tasty. He had to take a shot at it with his stack.

I was scared with that K on the flop.

Also, the supply of good hands seems depleted. You will probably be ahead of me soon.

Ran my 8's into aces, 234 board 2 clubs put him on a draw, down to 8000.
