Super seniors

I played in the Super Seniors today at the WSOP This was different than many poker tournaments I've experienced. By the end of the first hour, I knew all of my neighbors -- where they were from, what they used to do in life, how much one guy sold his house for. Talk about friendly! Limping was rampant and if anybody raised, watch out for aces, although they sometimes limped with them too. It was a trip. A friend of mine was at a different table and it wasn't quite the limpfest my table was, but I'm just reporting what I saw.

The style of play might make you think it was a picnic in the park, and it somewhat was. It was also a mine field, however, if players limp with aces, you can lose a lot of chips or your can crack the aces. Talk about variance.

I made a bad play in Level 4 (I think it was), and never really recovered which was quite disappointing. Oh well, wait until next year, lol.
