So, tonite was a doubleshot night - not only Riverchasers in the BBT3, but also AIPS, a 2+1 rebuy tourney.... I'll say this right now - what a great fucking idea. It's a shame there's wasn't one rebuy in the BBT3. To play a tournament after the first 90 minutes and not be in shovemonkey mode... golden.
Jenn played along too - and Riverchasers sucked for the both of us. She went out 76 of 88, I left 70 of 88. We both spewed chips into flstfboy11 - her with TT<JJ all in preflop, me in a spewy fashion.
I open raise KsQs for 3BB, he flat calls in SB. flop A66, two spades, he leads 2/3 pot, I reraise 3x his bet, he shoves a little more with AJo, I call and don't get there, though I river a King.
As PirateLawyer said, it's wacky to see an all in there with top pair meh kicker and a flush draw, but whatever. He'd done enough spewy stuff at that point (call a raise in position with K9o and check behind three streets, call OOP with Ax, lead a rag board on three streets, including the river, where he finally hit the bottom end of a four-straight, and instacall a shove) that I didn't believe he had an A, even though it's his most likely holding... Anyway, it was just monkey spew, especially because I checked after the fact, I was third in May points and need to make another couple of deep runs to be competitive
So, I was annoyed and made a prediction in chat - flstfboy11 will not make the final table - which was wrong to do, but I really felt like he was playing too fast and loose to make a deep run.
Turn to AIPS - run good early on, never have to make a rebuy beyond my initial double buyin, take the add-on and have around 9K in chips at the first break. Then, pretty much nothing happens for forever, then I end up flatting a 3x raise in the blinds from EP with QQ (blinds 300/600, I have 9K) flop K42r I check, Godard SHOVES for 16K, and I tank. Would he do this with a K? I decide to call, get shown KQo (fuck) and don't spike a one outer. Boo, out in 35th.
In the meantime, Jenn half nods out, nods in to AIPS, doubles through a couple of times, goes up, does down, makes the money, - that's nice.
I check back with Riverchasers while picking up some tokens for the rest of BBT3 - While it sucks that JD Schellnutt, wwonka69 (the two guys ahead of me in points) and flstfboy11 are still in with two tables left, I luck out when JD finishes 11th, flstfboy somehow bubbles in 10th despite having 45K in chips (go MOJO), and wwonka 69 finishes 7th - so I'm losing ground, but not as much as if they would have won Thursday. Anyhow, congrats to Astin for taking it down.
Jenn is still using all nine lives in AIPS - still alive with 13 players left, finishes 11th. nice job.
snoozy time now, holiday weeking upcoming, woot.

I had a good time playing the AIPS event last night. We even shared a table for a couple of minutes. Congrats to the Mrs. I ran AA into 33 and we all know how well that works. ;-)

Did I bust flstfboy11? Don't remember.
Astin was the true luckbox though in RC.
Still can't believe he took it down. ;)
Good luck the rest of the way in the BBT3.
