I just went out 199th. ugh! I tried to run over 9-9 with A-KS. I had 22,424 in chips UTG, I raised 6K making it 8K, got raised by cwebb1977 for another 8k – total of 16K. I went all-in for 6224 more. The blinds were 1k/2k antes 200. I could have pitched when I got reraised. But in all honesty, I’m not sure what I would have been waiting for in a hand, if I had.
The most chips I ever had was 31.??? after I had raised pre-flop with 9-9 and got a caller, I flopped a set, went all-in and got called by another player that had 8-9 C. That player was drawing dead. The rest of my raises were never called, no action. I did pick up J-J once, when I was in the BB and another player went all-in for 2,??? more. I raised that player’s raise and got no callers. The all-in player had A-A. I lost.

I played for a little over three hours. It was quite fun. It would have been more fun if I’d made the final table but that’s the way the cards fall, the chips flip, and railbirds are born. PokerStars, thanks for the freebie and getting us all together.
