We are trying it from the get go. Will post relevant hands, player number 1 in the tournament

[thetrinity]

feels like players are playing too wild

guy lost 15000 chips on a q46 board with kk against qq with 20/40 blinds

should really only be in with big hands in position and nut making hands at this point

[thetrinity]

first hand of any consequence

40/80 blinds

utg raises to 240 i have a2 spades in the cutoff i call small blind calls

pot 800

sb bets 800 on 94q 2 spades board utg folds i call

pot 2400 turn 7 (no spade)

he bets 2400 i fold

feels like you are just waiting for one hand here

[thetrinity]

board was k96 with 2 spades guy bets 1100 in position check raise to 4000 and then other player shoves in 13000 first player folds other player calls

guy who check raised to 4000 had k9 other guy has aj spades

flushs him out

has nothing invested and puts in 13000 knowing hes going to get called

[thetrinity]

Good Luck. Appreciate the updates.

Just goes to show that it's dry MOST of the time. Poker is such a frustrating venture. Even if u cash, it moves at a snail's pace.

I never had much in the way of cards, granted I was playing tight with the slow structure.

The tournament lasted around 6 hours 15 minutes total. Dont think I ever had above 30k,

It was frustrating to see how easily it was going in and never getting anything to call with.

The hands I had AA on, neither player should have even been in the hand, so I can feel good about that.
