Hand 187 - I have AJo on button, and knock out King TJ, who pushed with A8o and didn't suck out. (We both flopped a pair.)
Hand 189 - I steal w/KQs
Hand 191 - It's been a tight table, so I ep steal w/76s and the flop is AKQ. I was very happy not to seen any resistance on my cont-bet!
Hand 195 - I attempt a steal w/KQo and get an all-in reraise from a healthy stack who I hadn't played with much. I back down.
Hand 199 - I attempt a steal w/22 and get called. I give up on the flop via check-fold.
Hand 200 - another player knocked out, our chip counts as follows, with 800/1600 75 ante blinds.

Seat 9: Carnite (36387 in chips)
Hand 204 - I bump-raise a limper w/76s and the flop is 887. My pot-sized flop bet takes it down.
Hand 210 - I steal w/QJo, no resistance
Hand 211 - I limp 33 and take a stab 3 way on an AJ6 flop with no resistance from SB or BB. I would assume they smelled a trap with my limp.
Hand 214 - Another steal, Q6o, successful.
Hand 218 - EP steal w/KTo, successful.
Hand 220 - Steal w/K9o, successful.
Hand 221 - Here's an interesting hand. I don't remember my chain of thought, but his river bet really didn't smell like he had the flush and this player had generally been tight. Even though he had the opportunity to stack me, he gave it up. My play on the turn and river did make it look like I was on a draw, too.

Hand 227 - I steal w/Q8o. There seems to be a tacit agreement among the big stacks to keep the pressure on the small stacks at all times.
Hand 230 - I steal w/A5o
Hand 235 - My steal w/A3o is thwarted by an all-in reraise. I fold and am shown AQo.
Hand 237 - I defend from a steal by calling w/K9o, and I give up to the cont-bet with no pair and no draw. Blinds are 1000/2000 ante 100, so there is one player to be ganged up on at this point:
Seat 3: FrankNagaiJr (43266 in chips)
Seat 5: dojdoj74 (43158 in chips)
Seat 6: thesock007 (15007 in chips)

Seat 8: SittingBully (47334 in chips)
Seat 9: Carnite (51512 in chips)
Hand 239 - My 'steal' is reraised, and I happen to have AKs, and I push when reraised to see dojdo with A6o. We both flop a pair, and Dojdoj74 lost a bunch of money by pushing at the wrong time with a marginal hand.
Hand 248 - I'm still chip leader, silent since 239. I steal w/KQo
Hand 249 - My steal w/QTo is called, and the flop is ATJ. My cont-bet with third pair takes it down.
Hand 253 - I steal w/Q3. The shortest stack is 23K and blinds are still 1000/2000.
Hand 255 - My steal w/44 gets no resistance.
Hand 257 - I defend from a steal w/K2o and give up to the cont-bet.
Hand 260 - Blinds are now 1500/3000 and my steal w/AJo gets one caller, and I'm reraised on my standard cont-bet and I fold. I'm still marginally the chip leader.
Hand 262 - I toss AKo in response to a steal raise and a re-raise. I think I'm playing well enough that I don't want a coin flip at this moment.
Hand 263 - I toss KQo behind a steal raise. Once again, I'm avoiding volatility, since one player has only 15K in chips and should be going out soon.
hand 264 - The 15K player pushes A9o and loses to 33.

Seat 7: -XE-Klump (38373 in chips)
Seat 8: SittingBully (112548 in chips)
Seat 9: Carnite (50005 in chips)
Hand 265 - My QJo steal is called, and I make a halfpot bet into AAQ to take it down.
Hand 266 - The short stack pushes and is eliminated with J7 after attempting to take down a K66 board and getting called down by QTo, which caught a pair and won. Blinds are still 1500/3000
Seat 3: FrankNagaiJr (73874 in chips)

The battle continues, but I'm tired of typing.
