The Short Stacks' Plight
The action has slowed at the ten-handed table, with most hands ending with preflop raises and even a couple of big blind walks thrown in as well.
Short stack Cory Waaland didn't get a walk in his big blind just now, however, as leader Kevin Saul raised and when the action got back to Waaland he had to fold. He shook his head a little and said with a chuckle how he didn't like giving up his BB, and Paul Snead chimed in.
"Doesn't suit your personality, does it?" said Snead, and Waaland laughed, replying "not at all." Snead then alluded to Waaland's "Good luck, myself" speech and how he might be making it soon, referring to the fact that whenever Waaland raises all in, he always says "Good luck, myself" when he does.
On the next hand, Ben Reason was the one pushing all in �� and no doubt silently wishing himself good luck �� but he got no callers.
