  1. I've been running pretty hot recently in my regular limit games (+20K this month) and the million (3 cashes in the past 4), so I stupidly decided to take a shot and bought in direct into the Super Tuesday. Ran hot early, with one big ak v kk suckout, and had the chiplead when we went into the money. Lost a couple races, got pretty card dead, and was one of the shorter stacks when I busted eighth. Tried to steal, both of us flopped huge, and lost. The 10K is a huge boost to my bankroll though and also a huge boost to my confidence. Definitely not playing this thing without satting in any time soon but it was pretty sweet to play a big buyin and go really deep on my first try. Here's the bustout, would love any comments from those who I played with and who railed me.

  8. That was dirty, but it was button on blind and I still had decent chips if i lost. Think I probably should have flatted your reraise preflop and gone with the flop. Unlucky for you for sure, but isnt stars supposed to let the rookie suck out so I think I could think I could really compete?
