Thanks for the support, gang. I'll keep plugging away. Don't think I'm going to make a video from the Ante Up, but when I get the chance I'll post a few hands for your amusement as well.

I was on the fence about playing the $1000r Big Ante today, was keeping an eye on the field to see how it developed. For some reason they closed late registration at the start of the break before the end of it, so I didn't get the chance to make a final decision on that. Oh well, probably saved $2050. Currently playing the $100r and $10r, they should make for good sweating because with the big antes people are playing a lot of pots. My screenname is foucault82, for those who don't know.

How about Ben Warrington in the Super KO yesterday, huh?

Here are some of my favorite hands from last night. If you've never played or thought about an Ante Up tournament, you should know that there's no folding in an unraised pot, because you can easily be getting 500-to-1 or better. As a result, it's also common to limp a lot of strong hands in early position – that's how I was playing anyway. The button and blinds are least likely limp/check strong hands in unraised pots, because there are few if any people left to raise behind them. I was especially proud of the first one because it was against Sauce123!

I guess it's not showing results on this last one, but I won, Villain had an airball.
