i am practicing for the big 150 Seat Giveaway on Full Tilt, so i am playing all the lemming, pushfests i can. today while watching the Astros make an unbelievable comeback to sweep the Brew Crew, i played in the $2 + $.25 Double Stack. my god, if nothing else, i am certainly learning patience. and how to not get unlucky.



see anything funny in that pic? that is at the FIRST break! we lost more than HALF the field in a DOUBLE STACK tourney (with 10 minute levels) before the first break!!!! my god, worst excuse for poker evar!

me? i went out 49th when:
