Just a note on the hand I busted on. His call was fine, it was the fact that he didn't wait for the count that surprised me. The way I had my chips stacked and the increments they were in he had no way of knowing the total. With my actual stack it was correct for him to call. I'm still happy about the play because my read of 2 unpaired broadways was dead on. If he doesn't have two clubs i'm almost a coinflip if he does call (and I would have won) and most likely he is laying down any other hand or suit here. The guy had a habit of talking about his hands with the guy next to him. With that information and the hands he showed down I was able to get a really solid read on him. The more and more i look back at it the better I feel about it (the pain of busting is wearing off as well).

I've only played an hour of 500NL so far in which I made $133 after paying the table fees. The way they are doing it is $7 fee from each player evcry 30 minutes and rake-free pots, which isn't that bad considering the field has a lot of very rich casino fish.

I just registered for the $540 FO they are having tommorrow at 1 PM. Max entrants is 100 and the staff guys tolf me the payout structure will pay top 10 and 1st will most likely be 20k-25k. I went and checked the list of players for today and I didn't see Doggz so I assume he busted late last nite.

More updates later.
