Caesars classic $500 (not a repost)

This tournament is a great one to play because it's on Sunday and you don't have to deal with all the Internet nerds and their check raising asses. So far my table is full of older middle aged men.

I was hoping they'd get 500 today but I forgot about the football effect. Looks to be around 400.

I swear I just saw Hurley from Lost walking around.

Table 61 seat 8

Table draw!

Seat 1: rwg
Seat 2: rwg
Seat 3: rwg who has no concept of pot size or blinds
Seat 4: the French terminator. Looks French but talks like a SoCal skater. With the beavis and butthead laugh to boot!
Seat 5: rwg, a Ginger. Keep away!
Seat 6: empty
Seat 7: random younger Asian guy
Seat 8: jdn
Seat 9: not sure what happend with seat 9. They picked up the stack but I guess they can still put someone in it. So it's deemed undecided.
Seat 10: aggro rwg (oops he's out)

Hey there's cowboy Kenna James. Last time I saw him he had underwear on his head.

5575 at the end of the first level. I actually hit a set for the first time 20 hours of play. Yay!

The ginger raises to 300 and I can with 99. Four of us see the flop and we all check to the river on a board of A A T Q 9. The slow guy in seat 2 bets out 1k and it's folded to me. Hmmm. Do I shove or call?

I know he's "challenged" so I min raise to 2k and he opens his hand. Good read on my part. Eventually he calls and shows QJ. Ship it.

Two hands later I look down at AJ and I merely call behind a limper. A new strategy for me. Two others call, including the slow guy and the flop falls A J J. Check around! I'm not sure how I'm going to get anything else outta this hand. The turn is a J. Definitely not getting any more chips out of this hand, until... the slow bets 300. He's got a jack folks. I call as everyone else folds. The river it is a blank and short bus guy actually checks to me. I ponder for a moment and wonder how much he will call. I bet 550 and he calls. Snap! He's got J3.

Table break!

Well, level 2 was a rollercoaster. Up to 9k then down to 4k. Think I'm at 6k now. At least I made the break.

Level turned into a horrible version of level two. Up and down, up and down. The I get 3500 all in on the flop of Jd Tc 5c with KQ against the old lady's JT and the Cowboys Ac 5c. Somehow I don't get there and the old lady's two pair holds up. WTF?

Fuck this shit I'm going to Chipolte.

I see a couple of bums get arrested at the Chipolte/Panda Express and I cheer up as all is right with the world.

Next up, Omaha hi/lo on Wednesday.
