Live-Blogging the Numbnuts!

Anyone else doing the same?

I'm hoping for an all-in family pot the first hand.

And I'm shooting for an M of 500 by the break.

And I'm adding to the list of Over/Unders with a finish time of 10PM PST.

--6pm PST--
We've got 30 minutes until the mayhem and 77 horses have signed up. First place is leaving with a minimum of $2.46. Second is $1.50. Third place won't make their buy-in back at $1.08.

MHG O/U prop #2: First place prize money will be $275

--6:12pm--
Looking down the list of entrants, how about this for a fearsome foursome:

Loretta8
lucko21
Maniac57
meanhappyguy

I have no idea who Maniac57 is, but those other three are dangerous. DANGEROUS!

--6:30pm--
It begins...

First hand:



--6:38pm--
First walk of the night for DDionysus, VinNay up to 61,000 chips... 8 minutes in.

--6:41pm--
New table with 4k chips, bleh.

--6:42pm--
Up to 28k chips! Huzzah!

--6:43pm--
Folded the hammer to Shaub's big raise... his two pair would have beat my two pair.

--6:47pm--
Sucked out on, then drop the hammer, back up to 25k!

--6:48pm--
JTo holds up! 45k! That picture didn't turn out too well, fuck pictures!

--6:49pm--
Schaubs can eat a dick, his 5h3h owns my TT and drome's AA with turn and river 3's.

--6:51pm--
META GAME UPDATE
21 minutes in and LJ is in the lead with 171,020 chips. Four players have bailed and shall be forever blacklisted on this blog:
98)USAF-Trevor
97)Puresoto
96)riv3r maker
95)OtisDart

That is, unless their connections killed them, because I can relate to that suckery.

--6:55pm--
I'm getting shit for folding. FU, berators!

--7:05pm--
42k, time to pull away from the pack (at least the pack at 2k). Chip leader is over 300k.

--7:09pm--
Balls, back down to 2k, 7d6d no goot!

--7:11pm--
ScottMc at 552k chips, 19 minutes left on rebuy!

--7:14pm--
Closing in on 3500 rebuys...

--7:24pm--
At 16k, I'm done with rebuying and it is dinner time, I'll be back in a bit.

--8:21pm--
Back in the game! First hand I pop it all-in with 98o and take out a shorty. Oh damn, it isn't the rebuy still, my bad.

--8:27pm--
Looks like the punks bullying me into pushing every hand went out a while ago, serves them right. Bullying never pays. You play your game, I'll play my game, even if it is weak/passive. It is my dime, damnit!

Tournament stats:
ScottMc in the lead with 540k
1st place prize: $146.72
Places paid: 9
Players remaining: 44
Total number of rebuys: 4417

--9:12pm--
Just got out of the hot tub, I'm not a good blogger, nor good poker player.

--9:13pm--
Just pushed with A8s and was ousted by Blazman with JTo, out in 31st. Not my best $5 ever spent, but I had a good time!
