Well, I suppose I'm done being irritated about getting knocked on day 1 enuf to post about it 
My table was such a sweet soft table...i'll miss it much....only one guy at the table didn't qualify online, and it showed....seriously, the dude to my right didn't understand the mechanics of the game...like he would watch ppl bet into him, and then he would check...he did it several times...i think everytime he won a pot he would show his cards too...unbelievable....he was really nervous tho too...by round 5 i was a little over 17k...unfortunately the only person at the table that i had anything to worry about was the dude on my left, who i had been dualing w/ for chip lead....eventually tho, he got knocked down by some vicious bad beats tho...but then, when everything looked fine....
Machinegun Patty came in and terrorized my beloved table...screaming and yelling and throwing shit around, just acting crazy...before long she took the chip lead by beating on the donkeys...
A strange occurrence kept happening....there would maybe be a limp in middle position, then always an average raise from late position...and i would be in the BB w/ TT or JJ.....it happened over and over...I would be forced to come over top, and most of the time, they would fold, or if that didnt work....the flops always had one overcard (never an ace), and I would bet well over half the pot, and they would fold
this time however, w/ blinds at 150/300 w/ 25 ante, patty opened from the button for 850, which seemed suspect right off the bat, cuz thats not even 3x, and the antes make it even weaker...i look down to find TT, for the millionth time...re-raise to 2500....she thinks for like a 40 seconds and calls quietly...flop comes J62 w/ 2 diamonds, (i dont have a diamond)...I bet out 3400....she thinks for a whole minute and calls again quietly...turn comes a seven of diamonds...i've got about 8k left, she has about 10k left....i decide to check since i cant put her on a hand that i can get her to fold w/, nor can i put her on a hand that i can beat......she thinks again for a whole minute and bets 5600 w/o looking at my stack and keeping hers kinda hidden....i have to lay it down 
eventually later on i go all-in w/ KK after a raise w/ an M of 5.5 and some deuche calls w/ aces and has me covered by like 100
I felt like I played well...just a couple killer hands got me i suppose
besides that, i had a great time....had some beers w/ ScanX who is a pretty cool dude
