the chop, and tomorrow....

the chop at the Bellagio... chopping is something i never ever like to do, and this was the 2nd time i have ever chopped.

we had 5 players left, the biggest stack had 151k, i had 149k, 3rd guy had like 135k, next dude had 100k, short guy had like 60k (i think).

under normal circumstances i never chop here, but blinds were 2000/4000, and the 2 big stacks were pretty good players and one was very loose aggressive. and the 2 shorter guys were playing to tight, so we were gonna have big pots with shorties waiting us out. i struggle with big stack verses real aggressive players. also, i used to not need the money, and now i do. i used to not need poker money to pay my bills and lately if it wasn't for poker, my mortgage would not be paid.

i still kind of regret chopping, because i think i could had won... but then i remind myself i needed the money and i just won like 3 coin flips, and i could easily lose the next 1 or 2 with the short stacks.

as for tomorrow, i am almost positive i will be playing the $1500 WSOP event.

not sure if i will see him tomorrow, but thanks CC

if you need the money there's nothing you can do about it.

you'd really be regretting it if you'd lost a big hand right after turning down the chop and went out 5th.
