Some preliminary information on the tournament: $2,000 in chips to start, 10-minute levels, starting at $10/$20. Antes kick in at level 5, and the escalate pretty steeply in comparison to the blinds.
5 PM: Here we are! I'm in seat 5 at table 64 on the off chance one of you wants to log onto PokerStars and bust my chops in the chat.
5:05: Alternating between 2 and 4 sitouts per hand. Makes for a decent steal atmosphere early on, but it also makes it tougher to get a call on a pre-flop raise.
5:10: First decent laydown of the tournament. Lost the minimum with A10 after being re-raised all-in pre-flop. Treading water thus far.
5:15: Big double up with 10-9 when I turn two pair, now up to $3,000.
5:20: Down to nine-handed with two sit-outs. Table's playing pretty solid; several tight-aggressive types and a few calling stations, but no genuinely BAD players.
5:30: Maybe I'm the bad player. Just bluffed off over a grand, and now I'm about back where I started.
5:35: Back to "water-treading" mode. There are suddenly a bunch of limpers pre-flop at this table.
5:40: I just got slowrolled. Flop pair of 10's in small blind, guy calls time with QQ when 10's are the possible top pair. Down to 1000.
5:45: I'm out. K9 loses to J2 after a J-9-5 flop. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
