Haha, so I talk about table selection. Last night I sit at the $330 turbo and draw Greg Raymer. Dwindle him down to 600 chips early and he starts chipping away at me. Gets back to even and he ends up winning AT>A4 at the 50/100 blind level for the win.
Then today I'm sitting and honestly usually fish register. This is the very next match since last night and I draw Gavin Griffen. Nothing exciting in the match, I end up losing KJ to A7o pre. I hit a jack on the flop, he hits a jack on the turn.
Next one I play. Fish. I win.
Next one Gavin Griffen registers again! I was much more impressed by Raymer's play than by Gavin's by the way. Anyways same thing of some back and forth. We get allin my AT versus his 55 on the 25/50 level. Flop comes AJQ. Turn five, river blank. I lose.
I asked Gavin went he sat down if stars was sponsering them to play in them; he said no. I mean I've never seen either pro register before and I get them back to back! Heck it's rare even to get a decent player. I fairly sure it was coincidence but still strange.
Anyways, it was a little dis-spiriting to lose to both of them. Raymer I felt I was even with. I think I have an edge on Gavin over the long run in these though... however, I never want to find out what the long run is versus a pro. I'll keep playing it for a few more days but if pros keep sitting with me I am done with that stake/sng for awhile.
