The first 3 levels are completed and from here on in it’s gonna be a shove-fest! We started with 5K in chips and with the first 3 levels being 25/50, 50/100 and 100/200, there was room for some play. I have made a point to be the chatty one at the table. People seem a little guarded, particularly when after I got them to reveal their on-line screen-names, I shouted up to Michael to Sharkscope them for me. So far, I have made a few bluffs, played positional small-ball and won all but one of the hands I have been involved in. The hand that I folded was when I had made a small reraise preflop, got both blinds to call and then made a continuation bet on a 886 board and although he might have had the 6, I got re-raised by the SB and decided this wasn’t a good spot to continue with my 77. After the hand I asked him whether he had 9s or 10s to which he replied, “Yes, one of them!” Somewhat annoying was the fact that I got Aces in two of my first 5 hands and only took down the miserable blinds. I also got no action for my QQ just before the break.

I chatted with Michael during the break – he’s a thorough gentleman, not that I expected anything less. He asked me how I was doing, I gave him the run through on the hands I’d had but was quick to point out that it was now turbo-time and that I was gonna have to win a few coinflips over the next hour to hang about. Here’s hoping!
