Day 1
| Time | Notes from the tournament |
|---|---|
| Level 1 Chip count $4,500 |
This blind level was pretty quiet. The button took most pots. I did a minimum raise on the button pretty much every time. Even with this i did not have a good first level. Very cold deck. |
| Level 2 Chip count $4,100 |
This level was better. Made a few hands and doubled my stack. Also had a table change in this level. |

| Level 3 Chip count $8,850 |
A hand of note was one where I got into a hand with grouchy oldder fellow. I think he was getting tired of getting reraised. So of course I reraised him with an AK. Flop came K-J-garbage. I bet the flop, he called. I think I knew right there that he outflopped me. The turn was nothing so I bet again. He raised. The problem here is that I suspected he had out flopped me, but there were 3 hearts on the board. I had the A of hearts. So the question is to do I call hoping to hit the heart on the river? Well, I did, and it came. He went all in, I called. Needless to say, he started barking at me. I said yes sir, you got lucky on the flop and I got lucky on the the river, so lets call it even. He was very angry |
| Level 4 Chip count $9,700 |
Well that AK. They say its a good hand. Twice in this level I had AK, twice I raised preflop, and twice I flopped a King.
Unfortunately, both times I lost to J-9. Once when he got 2 pair, and one that got a straight. |
| Level 5 Chip count $6,000 |
Quiet level except a pretty big bluff. I only had a flush draw but it was already a fairly big pot. |
| Level 6 Chip count $7,700 1,500 players left |

| Dinner Break |
Dinner
Wish we never broke for dinner. As you will see when we got back I went so cold I could not even steal a pot. My button hands all seemed to be 7-2 or 5-2 or 6-2. It was very frustrating.

Can't win chips if you do not play any hands. Hard to play hands when you do not get anything to play with. |
I am done
Looks like there was 800 players left.
