Tonight was the second week in a row chopping top two at a live tournament. Nice little pull down this time. Add an additional $20 for the last-longer with Philip. The evening didn’t start off so well, and the guy two seats to my right hit a couple of HUGE hands early and grabbed a MONSTER stack, preventing me from making moves with less than optimal hands.

Jen and I signed up at the last minute for the $50 NLHE at Longhorn since we both have today off and could sleep in. 21 total entries (two tables with one alternate). Standard format for their $50 freezeouts…10,000 starting chips with 20 minute blinds, starting at 25/50. Antes come into play starting round four. I love deep stacks with early antes.
