I have 140,000 in chips, which is great, but the blinds and antes will be relentless now - 9,000 around the table. A preflop raise will probably be to 8,000...a three bet could be 15 - 20,000. Poker just got expensive.
So, I think the last two rounds of the evening are going to be a challenge, especially since some of the stacks at the table have gotten quite large. Seat seven has 350,000. Seat four has 550,000. The new guy in seat two has at least two hundred thousand I think. I'm probably 6th or 7th out of 9 in chip count. Maybe 5th, but doubtful.
But, if I can pull through tonight, then it's only a round or two until the money tomorrow. 13 rounds and 26 hours are down, 3 or 4 more until the money and a field of less than ten percent. Only twenty or so more rounds until the final table - about the time we hit the money tomorrow, we'll be halfway there!
Anyway, strategy for after dinner is to just keep on playing my game, be mindful of M Ratio instead of everyone else's chip stacks, and see what the poker gods have in store for me. And try not to do anything incredibly boneheaded.
Incidentally, I did spend some time on dinner break trying to appease the poker gods for my earlier comments about being sick of poker - it's not true!
