ok, here's the skinny...at the risk of TOTALLY fucking up my day and jinxing myself, here's the situation. But I won't post it till we're past the mile marker.

played an 11 rebuy turbo satellite for the Pokerstars $215 ths morning. I got my AA and QQ cracked, so I rebought 5 times plus an addon for $70 - I missed my seat and bubbled but that paid $110 total.

so now I won $40 so I enter the $36 satellite - I win my seat in that. I've been up all night and may have to look at a loft at 3pm so I unregister with the intent of re-registering if I feel up for it.

I sleep 5 hrs, get up and BARELY, and I mean BARELY get re-registered for the tourney. my desktop locked up/seized during a restart so I had to reboot a 2nd time and literally - in a tourney of 5K people, got late registration.

I am now about 50 players from the money - that's 750 to be precise. I just made a couple questionable folds with coinflip hands (AK suited and 44) because I've never made the money and I'd be risking my tourney viability if I called or reraised - I'm currently in 88th place and it wasn't worth it - I'm playing my position and first action more then my cards these days.

btw - I'm a serious luckbox - should have been busted about 3 times - my 2 pair snapped off bottom trips one hand - that was the big one that nearly killed me - but somehow I stick around - thank goodness AQ and AQ limped with my A9 on an A9x flop - LOL.

and since I didn't wanna jinx myself - I waited to post this till I was offically in the money for the first time on my $215 - good practice for the WSOP ;) -

I'll update ya when it's done.
