Well so far the Big Game went about as poorly as it possibly could.  I basically lost just about every pot I played and got voted off on the first round of eliminations.  I will be able to get back in the game as it will be running for 36 hours more, but man oh man did it go bad.  I am down about $17,000 USD on the show so far.

I got it all in with KK against a very loose amateur player only to lose all in pre flop vs. his AQ.  I got AA cracked by T6 when a guy made 2 pair against me.  I got several good situations that just turned out very poorly in the end….sigh.

So basically what happens is every 6 hours the players themselves vote people off.  I got voted off as one of the bigger losers in the game which is pretty frustrating.  When you run bad you at least want a chance to get things turned around, but I am confident I will get some more cracks at the game before it is through.

Being on the show was pretty fun.  I sat next to Jennifer Tilly and got to chat with her a bit.  Isaac Haxton sat to my left and we had a pretty good time.  Viffer was playing like a total maniac to start off.  He was open shipping like $30,000 into $500 pots which is something you don’t see online too much lol.  In fact you can’t see it online in the games I play as the buy in is usually capped at 100bb and games tend to break before players get super deep.

All in all it has been a fun experience no question.  Sure it sucks to get crushed, but there is no hand where I am too disappointed in my play.  I may not have played each hand perfectly, but I didn’t make any tragic mistakes so I can at least feel good about that.  As poorly as it went, had I simply won the KK hand all in I would be ahead for sure.  When you get all the lewt in with KK and lose, well, obviously you can’t exactly fault yourself.

I am going to catch a nap and hopefully get back in the game later on.  I may get an opportunity to do some commentating in the booth which would be pretty fun.  I think that would be right up my alley since I am used to commenting on hands and going in depth as to the logic behind it.  We’ll see if they want me to do any of that next time I am away from the tables while the game is running.

I will keep everyone posted soon so expect a lot of updates to follow.
