The last 2 hours saw me switch tables twice. Treading water with 5300 in chips. First new table was crazy, happy to have moved on. Second new table seems passive, which should be good. 50 tables to break before we move again, so I…

So, decided to play the 1500K event today. We started with 4500 in chips. In the first two hours, I was as high as 6700, as low as 2400. I laid down top pair on the turn, which felt like the right decision at…
