The Shark Tank

Its official! I’m going to drive up to Atlantic City Thursday night and play in the minor event on Friday. I’ll probably also try my hand at a super-sat or two and see if I can win my way into the WPT event. I’m not going to spend $10,000 of my own money to get in, though. If I’m dropping that kind of money, it is going to be for the main event at the WSOP.

I played in the top 500 freeroll for the protege contest last night, but I stunk. I couldn’t lay AQ down to a re-raise pre-flop, even though I was almost certain I was in big trouble. I was getting 3:1 to call his push and I convinced myself it would be a coin flip. He had KK and I didn’t improve. I knew it was dumb when I did it, but I was tired and stupidly decided to chip up or go home. I still made it past the first break and I think I bouced out around 50th. I was crippled after that bad call and I never built back up enough. I wound up pushing on the Button first in with KJs and the BB called with Ace rag. Neither of us improved and I was out.

Thursday is going to be interesting. There is an ITH moderator tourney, which I’ve been doing well in and the top 100 freeroll for the Protege, which is the best chance I’ll probably have to qualify. Plus, I’m heading to AC. I’m not sure how it will all fit into the schedule, but I’ll work something out.
