The EV is posititive because I qualified in a $60 satellite earlier this month.  The location is the aforementioned Seminole Casino in Brighton,FL, on Lake Ockechobee.  My main event happens on Christmas Day when the field is divided into two shifts and then combined into a third final table, AM, PM and late PM, the final table is "In The Money" referred to as a 10K freeroll.  My starting time is 12N so if I make it, I'll get a rest before the FT.  Each shift is composed of 30 players with five getting there.  My attitude is looking forward to a positive overlay and improving on October's bubble performance in the same style event.  It's a little escape from home for wife, Margie, and me.  The Casino has slots and she's received free play coupons from our last visit.  [More...]

Long ago, I heard this old codger say during a live tourney that he would only play aces it they were suited.  Liked this so well that we adopted the name when available. Decided to get back to live play and went to Brighton, FL, Gator Country nearly on Lake Ockechobee.  Was so nervous, couldn’t count chips or Big Blinds.  When I finally raised first in, another old guy, I’m 71, asked “Did you have Kings?”  My reply was Kings no, but I’d play aces if they were suited.
