1. Mr. Stine can attest to my disconnection problems. I was a raging maniac on the chat. I was close to shutting it down after 5 of my first 9 hands THAT I BET were disconnected, including raises and 2 sets post-flop, all just plain lost. I just quit playing and wore a hole in my hardwoods pacing to and fro muttering "do it again and the monitor goes into the street." Glad to hear it wasn't just me being a baby.

2. I had maniacs "Kaby" and "NFLGiants" to my left that helped me stay in the tournament by raising EVERY blind. I knew that if I wanted to play, I needed real power.

3. Most fortunate to catch 2 jacks on the felt, and sneak into UPF-3rd place. Overall 14th or 15th.

4. Bowed out to Beigs will all-in raise with A-9, losing to his J-J. Pretty neat to hear that a bunch of us lost to each other.

All in all, I didn't like it because of the connection issues. We all had images of how things would go, but most people didn't adjust to the format. Fatal player error.

On a nice ending note: It was great to see everyone stick around and chat back and forth, cheering Andrew and Beigs on after the 3 of us finally got to the same table.

p.s. Kudos to TKarrde for keeping the rest of us up to date as we played.

You raised from early position with about 180 and those pocket jacks playing 100-200. Everyone folded to my big blind. I had about 970 at that point and covered you with QsTs. Automatic play, the best hand won. You were still very short, but that was enough to hang in there for a decent finish.
