| I just lost a tough pot with TT. Button and SB limp with blinds at 25-50. Button has about 1000 in front of him, so I raise it to 400. Button smooth calls, SB folds. Flop is J 7 7 with two spades and I put him all in for 600. He calls with 86 of spades. He hits a spade to take the 2150 pot, leaving me with about 1900. I'm still right in the mix though that one would have been nice. |

Woohoo!
I picked up JJ in middle position and re-raised a UTG raiser half of my stack. He smooth called and the flop came J 7 5 with two clubs. He put me all-in and I called. He had Ac9c, but this time I was able to dodge the club flush and I have about 4000.
Update: I look at AK from the button, UTG limps everyone else folds, I raise quite a bit. He re-raises all-in and although I was scared he might do it, I quickly called getting good odds to do so. He had 88 and I won the coin flip and I'm almost at 7000! Things are starting to turn around for me I hope.
Update: After a short stay at Erik's table, and a big loss with AK vs 99 and KK, I am around 8000 right in the mix.
Update: I'm 60th of 170, just lost to KQ with K8 on a K T 8 flop, but the pot wasn't huge.
Update: Erik's been moved back to my table! He is very shortstacked, so I'm looking to pick up that $100 bounty.
Update: Well, I'm out in 82nd. 
Erik had busted out a little while ago and I had about 7000 with the blinds at 250-500 and a 50 ante. Anyone who steals the blinds picks up over 1000 so with AJ in the cutoff, I made it now or never. I moved all-in and it seemed that each player ahead of me took an excruciatingly long time to act. Fold from the button... Fold from the SB.... the BB thinks.... finally he calls with 99, and I get no help.
