Ummm, No

That satellite was worthy of the picture above. That or the structure really licked Lee Childs' balls. I knew what I was getting into though. 3000 chips and 25 minute levels. I won a total of two hands and I had to run bluffs with air in both of them. I ended up getting down to around 1600 in the 75/150 level when I had 32dd in the BB. Flop comes K82dd. I check someone bets 275, next to act raises to 800, I ship, fold and a call. He has KJ. And I am in decent shape. Board bricks off though and I am out the door after about an hour.

My day 1 starts in about five hours. Looking at the updated from day 1a there were 89 survivors. Chip leader has around 150k. I think my plan is to stay slow and steady. As long as I have chips going into day two I have a chance. We are playing 9 levels of an hour each. The last blind level of the day is 500/1000/100.
