Stars Nightly $10 Rebuy - 12/21/07
by justinsampson on 12/21/07
Back at it again.....Lets get a FT this time.1st Hour
Doubled up in the first few hands with AA vs AJ. Pretty quiet table so may be difficult to accumulate chips, but we shall see.
Well......end of rebuy and up to 9100....very quiet table which is a bummer. Nothing exciting after my double up, but chipped up a bit when I hit two pair on a flop in the BB.
Will addon to get to $13100 and see hopefully have a good second hour.
2nd Hour
LOL....Well I am out....I am not sure what I was doing. Lost with PP JJ to AA. I guess I will have to blame it on watching the Bourne Ultimatum while trying to play. Oh well....Good thing I was only in for $31. Won't be playing tomorrow, but possibly Sunday and then will be off until after christmas. I may play some Cake Poker NL cash games and will post a blog if I do.
Merry Christmas to all!!

Stars Nightly $10 Rebuy 4th Hour
by justinsampson on 12/21/07
Well still moving along in $10 Rebuy.....made the money and finally picked up some cards....up to about 85K with 130 left after doubling up wiht AQ vs A9....Come on baby!!!
15 Minutes in to Hour 4 and just doubled up to 110K with AK vs 55
Out in 60th....went card dead and was just short stacked the whole tourney. Picked up AQs in SB at 8000/16000 blinds and 600 ante with about 50K left and called a raise that would put me allin from middle position. Other player had 1010 and I was racing, but no luck. Cash of $158 and only in for $31, so a nice profit of $120. Looking back I really played well after the 2nd hour, but could not string along a few nice pots to give me some chips to work with. Oh well!!
I keep getting closer and am itching to get back to the FT after finishing 9th a few months ago. The crazy thing is that I have cashed in this tourney 4 out of the last 6 or 7 times I have played it. I just am not getting deep enough......Well there is always tomorrow.

Stars Nightly $10 Rebuy 3rd Hour & Cake Poker $20 Bounty
by justinsampson on 12/21/07
Well....The wonderful world of my $10 Rebuy at the end of the 2nd hour. Down to 15K and well below average after losing 1010 to KQo allin. Standard raise from middle position at 600/1200 blinds with 1010. Short stack moves allin for about 4K more. I call and am up vs KQo. Q on flop and I lose. Also lost some chips with AK after I missed on flop against large stack on my table who called from SB.....Grrrrr....
Still in Cake Poker $20 Bounty, but nothing exciting going on there....moved up a bit, but I am back to about 2K after break. No bounties and well below average as well. Got about 10 BB so time to make a move....
2nd hand in 3rd hour $10 Rebuy push with JJ from middle position at 800/1600 & 150 after an early position limper. Get no callers and am up to 20K at new table. Lets hope for some cards after a dead 2nd hour. Just picked up KK UTG and doubled up after falling down to 11K....now at 24K.....$$$ is aproaching.... Well made money and was allin on my BB for 10K with 95o. Was LIVE after a crazy guy raised in EP with 78o. My 9 plays and I am up to 25K with 231 left.
Two hands later up to 55K after I doubled again with AKs vs crazy guys 108s.......Can we get another double??????
Just doubled up to 3100 with K8 on button in Cake $20 Bounty. Chipped up to about 3600 and still no bounties.... Out 24th for $17.80 and no bounties :(. Aboout a $4 loss.

Stars Nightly $10 Rebuy 1st Hour
by justinsampson on 12/20/07
Playing $10 Rebuy again tonight.....Hopefully goes better than last night. Also.....somehow I just managed to deleted my $3 Rebuy blog that I posted about an hour ago. I am not sure what I did, but it is now gone. Instead of retyping it I will just continue here with the $10 Rebuy.
1st Hour
Took my rebuy at start to get to 4K..
Second hand moved in preflop with AK....called by 77, AK, and AQ....End up losing to 77 but he had minimal chips and AQ basically puts me back to 4K :)...Looks like it may be an active table :)
Hand 12 or so....limp with QJo in late position call a small raise....flop a Q and end up hitting to pair to beat KK. Up to about 6K
Few hands later I pick up KK on button and UTG limps and middle position moves allin for about 6500 with AQo and I call for about 5900. UTG limper also calls with AKs. Take down the whole pot and up to 14K. Lets go!!!!!!
End of Rebuy and chipped up to 18.5K.....biggest hand was with JJ vs a player who called me down with a mid pair on flop. After addon will be at 22.5K and in for $31 :). Hopefully a better outcome than last night.
