Anyone feel like watching me make another fool out of myself?

$10 rebuy tourney - at Pokerstars that started at 10:15pm. 65 players left, I'm in 30th.

Stop by and say hello or just sweat me here...

Why are people still limping?

because they are a bunch of weak-tights. I've stolen blinds from them from 32k to where I am now...

Down to 36.

I've got 198k, and am 15th in chips.

Big hand from the tourney (I wasn't involved):

Nice all in there, almost doubled up without showing.

Thanks - I figured he was on a bad ace or something worse - that's just the way he's been playing

Too bad I gave some of it back on the following hand with a bad raise...

Just won a big one for my stack:

Not sure - should I have just bet out? Just called on the flop? I think I should've found a way to get more out of it...

18 players, I'm in 11th with 342k

Just hit a break. Here's some useless stats to look at:

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 394 hands and saw flop:
- 18 out of 45 times while in big blind (40%)
- 3 out of 45 times while in small blind (6%)
- 16 out of 304 times in other positions (5%)
- a total of 37 out of 394 (9%)
Pots won at showdown - 9 of 11 (81%)
Pots won without showdown - 38

Couple of good stack building hands:
