My Aruba Trip...

[Talking Poker]

Hey all...

Just stopping in quick after eating dinner.

I'm still alive, as you know, with 75k chips. That's over half the average - I'm fine. No need to panic yet. I've been short(ish) stacked for most of the day, but I'm haning in there and playing great.

The AKs hand was an interesting one. I SHOULD HAVE pushed in with it from the button to pick up the blinds and antes, but after making a standard raise, I knew DevilFish (who I have been playing with almost all day) would push in with any reasonable hand. After long considerating, I decided it wasn't worth racing (I knew he had a pair)... not on the bubble anyway. We were literally at 126 players left. The table (including DevilFish and Jeff Shulman) agreed with the fold, but I still think I should have pushed preflop.

Tons and tons and tons more hands to be discussed some other time... Right now, I have to get back to work.

Oh, and for the record, I would have called with Aces here every time. But please leave the arguing out of the thread. It's annoying. And so is saying, "I'm not arguing," etc, so just cut it all out, please...

Later.
