Playing on UB right now...
 

I'm loving these UB tourneys. Decided to bump up the stakes a bit tonight. $100+9, started at 10:00. 220 players. 64 remaining, 30 get paid. I'm currently 7th with 15k chips.

Here's hoping for a final table finish (or AT LEAST in the money!)

Back to my usual...
 

F me. I saw this coming. My gut told me he had 44. Then I went and talked myself out of it, and decided he was bullying me with his big stack (one of the very few bigger than mine).

Stupid stupid stupid! I could have slept my way to the money in this one.

I'd say I should have raised more preflop, but I'm pretty sure he was going to call and try to hit that set. 7 out of 8 times, I win a decent pot here and add on to my stack. Oh well..........

I guess I need to learn how to play AA, KK, QQ and AKs better, since those are constantly the hands that knock me out of tourneys..... And I do mean constantly!
