Hello again LP,
I got there friday night, spent the night in the casino's hotel. To my surprise, they gave me a bed with 2x double bed, which was nice! I don't remember the last time I've slept in an hotel, so the luxurious huge shower and bath were really nice, so I had to take my first bath in about 10 or so years lol.
The next morning, I went for an early swim in the pool, where i hurt myself pretty fucking badly. (i didnt follow player999's tip of "Don't do anything stupid"
Anyways, after fixing my face and bloodied fingers, I went to the registration for the MTT. Every table had a "celebrity" assigned to it. Ours was Michel Therrien.(ex-hockey coach for the Pens and the Canadiens) Levels were going pretty fast. We started with 200bb, and blinds would double every 30 minutes until lvl 4, where it got to something like 300/600/25, then 400/800/75.
I was winning my fair share of pots in the early game, but right before the dinner break, I played a hand like this:
500/100 blinds
I have 99
seat 1/2/3 fold, Michel Therrien limps, I raise 3x (I thought it was folded to me because he didnt play very many hands)
rest of the table folds, Therrien calls. I cover him, and theres a bounty on his head. 90~/150 players left.
Flop comes: QT8r
He checks, I bet 4k, he tell's me "good luck", and shoves 6.5k total. (I immediately thought... fuck i shouldnt have bet more than 3k)
I folded there, because i was 100% drawing, thinking i had 4 outs and it probably wasnt worth it even considering the added value of 500$ if i won the pot.
He got super surprised that I folded, and showed QT for top 2 pairs.
Well we then went to the dinner break, I was super short stack at this point, and just played the short stack for the rest of the tournament really.
My lowest point was having 2200 on my BB, at 800/1600/300 (numbers sound wrong but it was close enough to that) and won 32o vs AJo, with about 70 ppl left, top 20 paid.
I hung on there until I openshoved bvb 5bb with q4o, got called by kqo, and lost 13th, for 693$
O well, I had a good time on there, but the blinds went up so fast so quick. After 3 hours there was half the field gone.
TLDR: 13/150 for 700$

what, 2.5k more in a 20k pot with at least 6 outs?? insta call 92o there, and if there was a bounty too, probably call with 32s with backdoor FD |

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |

i find it crazy you had 2bb or something and out lasted 55 people, good job bro that is quite the accomplishment. Sounds like a fun experiences |

Uh yeah, folding for 2.5k more? I call even if he flips up QTo before it's my turn. |

I thought I was nearly drawing dead (i told myself I had 4 outs instead of 6), and I needed that very small amount to be able to maneuver a little better in the future... I know my 4k bet was too large, in retrospect i guess 2k was plenty. I would think I had about 8k left at this point, after the fold. (8bb) Anyways, I thought it was a super gamblish spot and got a little confused at the situation.
on the other hand, my hand looks like this:
My face isnt sooo bad, just some scratches on the nose/forehead, my hand hurts quite a lot tho honestly (there doesn't seem to be infection, just quite some flesh got ripped off lol.) |
