What time does the old boy play  today?

Nice one Tony, I hope to join you tomorrow.  2 bullets no joy yesterday.
Down to 7k (from 25k) after 5 hands today but somehow on 1st bullet with 55k first break.  Crazy game .
Good luck tomorrow if I don’t see you - which hotel did you move to ?

Nice report,run well on Sunday Gramps

You mentioned you were "pushing 80". From which direction? 

Oof!

Hi Tony

You most certainly have not "butchered" your stack. You have what looks like an average stack. Perfectly playable. And you have only dropped down from above average. Not a chip leading stack.

You have given detail about any decisions that, with the benefit of hindsight, turned out to be unwise. Something completely normal in Big O And no detail at all about the rather more hands where, either by luck or skill (almost certainly a bit of both) your stack has grown. Be just as proud of your good plays as critical of your bad. Well done today. And good luck tomorrow.

PS. You mentioned you were "pushing 80". From which direction? 

All that said, I had THE most enjoyable day & my confidence is restored to a degree.

Poker is great, isn't it? Such a test of character. 

OK, gotta go, they are chucking me out of my room.

So, just 24 players off the money & Day 2, & I decide to shut up shop for the night.

Then the gambler's enemy - greed - strikes. Last hand of the night (down to 150 already but finishing the Level then bagging) there are 6 limpers to my BB.

And I can't resist, so announce Pot, with maybe a touch of a smirk. Who wants to play a big hand last hand of the night? Genius move by me.

Then Peter Park moves all-in.

I have nothing, & it's an auto-fold, so I've butchered a lovely Day 2 stack.
