I was never big into poker through high school and college. But, here I am. 10:55 PM doing pretty well in an online charity tournament on PokerStars.com. I started at table 121 with 8 of my closest friends and $1,500 in chips. I went up (~$12k), I went down (~$500), but I left the table for #204 after 1h 15m with about $7500. Out of a starting field of 2212 (and $22,075.76 going to the Red Cross), I am currently in the top 434.

11:00 pm/After 1h 30m, I'm in the top 300 with $6,925 in chips. They're dropping like flies. Most likely a lot of railbirds, but it's still fun to watch the number dwindle.

11:06 pm/At yet another table (#170) with 246 left in it. Still at $6,925 chips… and no cards worth talking about.

11:25 pm/I've lost of track of how many tables I've gone through… the field is down to 179 right now. I'm at table #141 in 129th place with $7,775.

11:31 pm/I'm all in Aces and 10s… and I'm busted against 3 10s. I'll take 148th out of 2212 in my first tourney. I have another one Wednesday night.
