First WSOP Event

I have to make this a quick post because the next event starts soon. My father staked me for the $5000 mixed No-limit/Limit holdem event. All in all, this tournament was pretty miserable for me. You start with 10k in chips and after about one hour, I lost a big pot with a flopped set of Jacks that got killed by runner runner straight. I misplayed the hand in hindsight and tried to get to tricky but what can you do. That left me with 3k, which was pretty sad. I somehow managed to grind this stack up down between 2k and 6k for the next 9 hours, with my high point being 12k. The tournament switched between no-limit and limit every 30 minutes, and the limit blinds and betting amounts just got so far ahead of the no-limit blinds that it made very tough for me to get chips as a short stack. It also didn't help that I suck at limit and managed to lose another flopped set of Jacks to runner runner straight. So I would never play another event like this, but it was still a good experience. Also, the field was insanely hard with at least two known pros at each table as well as few good internet kids at each as well.

On a side not, the condo is awesome! I'll save more of the details for another post, as well as pictures, but I will say it does have a flat screen tv that rises out of the desk! Ok, time take on a bunch of scrubs in the $1500 NL event...
