It's just started, and I've already won a hand (yay!). I'm tired and stressed from having to make one of the hardest decisions I've ever made in my life, so I probably shouldn't be playing at all. But compared to life decisions, choosing whether to raise, call or fold is a breeze. I'll give regular updates on my progress (or otherwise).
Update 1: I'm on 5255 at the first break (we started on 4000). Lost a biggish pot just before the break where I drew two to 3-2 in the BB, made 9732 badugi on the first draw, but ran into a pat 854A. The pot was a lot bigger than it should have been due to a third player (monkey) in the hand.
Update 2: Good hour there, or really just the last half-hour. Up from just below my starting stack to 9410 currently (the highest I've been). Play is frustratingly slow though. We're about to go to 340/680; levels are 15 minutes after that.
Update 3: And I'm out! I didn't win another hand. Down to 5000-odd I had no choice but to commit with a pat 10-9. I was outdrawn and that left me crippled. I finished 476th out of 1373, winning seven of the 108 hands I played. In some ways I'm glad I didn't go deep. I have to make a couple of job-related phone calls tonight which will be hard enough without the added pressure of playing for serious loot.
