Best shot at a bracelet

Well I guess today's 5pm event is probably my best shot at a bracelet this year, it is the $5k PLO with rebuys. I will bring six bullets and almost surely rebuy imediately and double add-on at the end of the re-buys. I dont think it will be a large field either…165 is my guess.

I lost my second match of the heads-up event when my A-J ran into Andy Blacks pocket aces on a board of A-J-9-10.

It was an OK event. I felt the blinds started too high. They were only twnety minute levels. So most matches were between an hour and an hour and a half. I am guessing the tournament staff didn't want to mess with green chips for a 50-100 and 150-300 level in the first match. I am always amazed when the people who run tournaments are so reluctant to give players chips. In the second match they started us of with a 25,000 chip in our 40,000 stack that makes 50k out of 80k on the table in two chips, To there credit it only took them about 2 minutes to realize the blunder and break all the 25k's down. Poker players need a stack of chips. It is much preffered to throw out the amount you bet then throw in an oversized chip and announce the bet, this often also leads to misunderstandings and "accidents". Dealers constantly looking for players to break chips down slows the game. How hard is coloring up really? Although that was how several milliion in extra chips were explained in the main event a couple years ago.

Well I gues I will go hit the gym for the second time since the WSOP started. Will gain about ten pounds before its over, already up five I am sure, I will check when I get there.
