Grim in EMOP: Busto!

[GrimFandango]

A quick update on my progress in EMOP (or lack thereof to be exact)...

... I'm on the button with T8s, 5k chips, SB/BB = 300/600 + 50 in antes. Everybody folds, and (naturally!) I go allin. Like what is often the case when playing online, BB wakes up with a decent hand (KJ) and similarly typical, the smallstack gets no help, and end of story.

But the story began a few rounds earlier though. I had T9s on BB and everybody folds except the SB who limp-calls. I decide to raise and he calls. After firing out a few barrels, he very hesitantly decided to make a good call with 88 on a AKK77 board, which left me shortstacked.

I might have to revise my fondness for suited connectors after this!

On the bright side, the weather here is beautiful and there's no shortage of scantily clad pretty girls either, so no need to feel too sorry!

As for other OAK/Mets players, @mamma_mu (the winner of our "EMOP Freeroll Ranking" promotion) is still in, but a bit short, while kanin1 suffered a cruel badbeat with AA vs. 56s and exited early too.
