Too bad we didn't win that Act 2 to get into the main event...but I'm sure you felt better once you got back to your room and rolled around in all that cash from a few days before. :) Are you a Mets fan too? Can't wait 'til the season starts....I just got my Johan t-shirt today...woot! I wonder if it'll be harder to get Mets tix or Giants tix now... See ya at the next donk-a-ment...

I am expecting a bracelet on your wrist some time soon. Thanks for the timepiece, and success at the Wynn later this month. The Borgata’s watch is terrific and I wear it proudly.

You go in with the worst hand, and you come out with Johan Santana. gg, Carl Pohlad. That’s great. You go in with the worst hand, and you come out with Johan Santana. gg, Carl Pohlad.

I'm strictly an east coast player and I think we have played together a few times. Mostly I'm just a huge fan of the blog. I'll introduce myself the next time i see you at a tourney.

You assessed the risk of running into a superior hand, correctly ruled out AA-QQ, and figured you were up against a big A, JJ or a smaller pair, and factored in the chance that the best hand you put him on, JJ, might fold when faced with your all-in. It would have been hard to just fold 10s, esp. given your assessment of this guy, and 3,000 already in on the BB. It seems to me that your instincts and analysis were on the money, and didn't fail you here, you just ran into the worst possible scenario. (1) he had the best hand in the range of hands you put him on, and (2) he was willing to call your all-in re-raise with a hand like JJ for almost all of his chips. My guess is that even with your chips, IDC did not go on to win that tournament; meanwhile you took the trophy in Event 9. I’m no pro, but it seems like your play with the 10s was fine.

By the way, do I know you? :) Dan:
