Needless to say, I’m looking forward to it. Nate ended up switching from Day 1C to 1B, and I was tempted to do the same, but last-minute changes tend to throw me off, as I’d already mentally planned some things I wanted to do yesterday. The only downside to this is likely to be some ten-handed play, as they are expecting a huge turnout for today. I can live with that, though, as a huge turnout should also mean a weak field.
I got some writing done yesterday, played a short cash session, and met up for dinner with friends Nate, Nico, Soeren, and Breyer, who all played yesterday, and Jeremy, a regular podcast correspondent whom we met at Saturday’s get-together. The cash session went great and put me in a good mindset for today. I made some good value bets, pulled the trigger on some big bluffs (was 50/50 on those, which is actually a fine ratio, and I think the one that didn’t work was nonetheless an uncontroversial spot to three-barrel), and just all around played well.
My phone battery has been a little unreliable of late but hopefully I’ll be able to entertain and inform on Twitter and bring you a happy update here tomorrow. On that note, I’m not sure about the others, but Nate finished Day 1 with over 70K, a well-above-average stack.
Way to go,Nate! Good start for you, Andrew!
Piefarmer and Carlos hipped me to a battery stick and it works great. Just plug it in at the table and it charges your phone in a flash. I got one at Ross for $10. Its the greatest. GL to you, Nate, and Breyer.
GL today — see you at the final table.
Great start for Nate, good luck today Andrew and others!
Thanks for hosting the meetup! It was a real pleasure to meet you both, and Carlos, Leo, and the others who attended.
Good luck at the main event!
You too, thanks for coming!
gl, gl, gl go go
