Played a 400 FPP satellite to Saturday’s FPP indobet 88 on Stars last night. I’ve got plenty of FPPs to buy-in direct, but it was a small field (144) with 14 seats, so I decided it would be good practice, if nothing else.
Yeah.
I’m chugging along, top 10 stack most of the night. Not playing many hands, raising when I do play. Pick up AQo UTG and raise it up 3X the BB. UTG+1 pushes for about 2/3 of my chips. With 28 left, I can easily fold to the seat. He can’t. It was the first time all night he’d come over the top of me, and what did I do?
I called.
What a donkey, eh?
He had KK (no surprise there). A glimmer came with a Q on the flop, but no 5-outer on the turn and river.
Don’t know what I was thinking. You “only” raise 3X there so you can toss the hand if someone makes a move like that. Calling off 2/3 of my chips with AQ when I can fold to my seat?
Idjit. That’s what I am – an IDJIT!
I think…
…it’s figured out. For now. No backgrounds or fancy crap. I did it at 1024×768.

I’m registered for the blogger tourney at Stars on Sunday, but I don’t know if I’ll actually make it.
It’s Father’s Day, dammit!
I’ll be traveling to one of da’ brudders home. Bringing my thumb-drive along, otherwise know as Poker-on-a-Stick. Maybe, rather than blinding out, I’ll just go all-in the first hand and try to double-up or bust out. Let the poker gods decide for me… ;-)————-
I’ve got an ass-load of FPPs, but haven’t maintained my Silver/Gold status since moving to Jax. Just not enough playing time now that the PC is in the bedroom. So, I can’t blow them on an iPod or anything right now. Might try a direct buy-in to some of the WSOP FPP freerolls. We’ll see…

I normally don’t post press releases, but he took the time to thank me for a post from last year, so what the heck…
BSN,
Please let me introduce myself – my name is Bernard Lee. I was fortunate enough to finish 13th at last year’s WSOP Main Event. After the event, I wrote a blog and you were very kind to comment favorably about it. http://bigslicknuts.blogspot.com/2005/08/dogger9-archive.html First,
I wanted to thank you for your kind words, as I have had a few people tell me about your nice comments.
Secondly, I wanted to keep you abreast of what has been going on since the WSOP. Since this blog, I have had the good fortune to turn this into a few additional opportunities. Last September, I became the weekly poker columnist for the Boston Herald and this April, I became one of the columnists for ESPN.com Poker website. Finally, I have just signed with a new website Pokersyndicate.com and the press release was distributed this past week (see attached and/or the following link) – http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060612/clm520.html?.v=31
I wanted to send this to you as an FYI not only about myself, but also about the website. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks again for your words back in August, and I hope to see you at this year’s WSOP.
Best regards,
Bernard Lee
