Use the hand converter man. It still needs some work on some things but it does sort of work. I have not counted the antes. Dammit!

[VARoadstter]

Weakest play of the night. On your all-in I put you on a middle pair (somewhere around 77) and I was willing to race for it. The jacks were a surprize and I deserved a good spanking there. Your comments said that I called quickly so I think that agrees with my comments here - I had made up my mind what your raise meant. If I had taken my time thinking about it I would have dropped. I have a nasty habit of staying in hands when I have chips in the pot (one of my biggest weaknesses). When I can control it I usually do well, when I don't I usually get my ass handed to me.

Also, I was thinking more about the TOC. Once it got down to 5 I was sure I was in (I think Philly was just eliminated or maybe one sooner). I got sloppy because I had already reached my goal.
