I wish everybody would have to have an electric thing implanted in our heads that gave us a shock whenever we did something to disobey the president. Then somehow I get myself elected president. –Jack Handey
I went out early in the WPT qualifier so nobody has to worry about watching my ugly mug on television. Oh well. To be honest, I wasn’t really into it and may have sabotagued myself with a bad all-in. Instead of just 2000 players competing for 1 WPT spot, it was over 2600. No second prize. In terms of EV, it was such a long shot that I was not looking forward to spending 4 to 6 hours playing NL and go out just short of the prize. Technically, it would probably be a higher EV to play a $100 NL tournament with payouts to 20th or 30th place and a top prize of $5k than it is to play a tournament, all or nothing for a $5k satellite entry into the WPT event.
I started off trying to do on Party what I just completed on Paradise. So far, things got off to a good start. I cleared $252 in my first session. I also had a 2+2 regular playing at my table so I was really watching his play and trying to avoid getting myself into a pot with him with marginal hands.
Let’s see how the rest of the 60 days goes

Chris Halverson added these pithy words on Aug 01 04 at 12:32 pmHuh? People are supposed to AVOID you if you’re a 2+2′er? I’ve posted stuff there and read it a lot and whenever I sit at a table it is suddenly swarmed with 2+2′ers. I thought they were just friendly…
Good luck on your new quest.
Bill Rini added these pithy words on Aug 01 04 at 3:27 pmHey Chris,
They are pretty nice people. Actually, most of them are amazingly helpful.
I was just saying that there are some hands I might try to outplay a fish with that I would probably just muck on the flop against an experienced and aggressive player.

Chris Halverson added these pithy words on Aug 02 04 at 6:39 amNo, I understand exactly what you were saying. I was just joking that they’ve tagged me as a fish and swarm to my tables whenever I show up. It may not be far from the truth, but I haven’t really seen too many 2+2′ers at my tables, at least that I know of, just a couple here and there.
I agree with your thoughts on how to play them though. You generally have to figure that if they’re reading 2+2 they are at least above total fish level.
