hey,

started off well today, when I 40 minutes into the day managed to double through the big stack with a full house aganst his top 2 pair. His own fault, gave me a free card on the turn so I could river him :o)

The WPT winner Jose Rosenkrantz was short stacked in seat 7 all day, and when he finally got a caller to his all-in, the caller sucked out on the river and sent Jose home to Costa Rica.

Was cruising between 75,000 and 107,000 for the next couple of hours, but then I got hit bad by kings against my queens, which chipped me down to 50,000

Then the guys kept growing to my left, huge stacks who are now sitting with 300,000+ each, I wittled further down to less than 30,000 with the blinds at 800-1,600 and 200 ante, uuggghhhh....

I got a walk on the big blind once, I flipped over my cards: Aces!! FUUUUUCKKK!! Happened to mee last year, too!

Finally I got the chance to punish the bully (Alex Melnikow) in seat 7, and he grew a bit too cocky when I opened on the button to 4,500, SB folded and he announced all-in, which meant another 25,000 from me. Yippeee, I called with AQ and we both hit the flop, but my hand held up.

I won one more hand before the dinner break and I am sitting with 66,300. Average is 110,000+ so I have some catching up to do.
