LAPT day 1 recap |
 |
1 | |
So I thought I would write a recap of the experience here at the LAPT!
The day before the tournament began PS held a welcome party of which I ended up not going cause I have a cousin here in Rio and me and my gf opted to go out to dinner with him and his wife. The next morning I met up with lp's own Pinball. The breakfast at the hotel is high class, the hotel itself rocks, its just a shame the weather is sucking ass. Got to chat a bit with pinball and he told me about his times on the previous night with peachy keen who is also in rio but not playing. Found pinball to be really cool and hope to be able to hang out more before leaving.
Anyways, game time arrives and we go to it!
My first table had like 2 guys who I found good and were directly on my left. On the fourth hand of the tourney I end up limping 66 in mp and 3 other join in. Flop is 56x and I front bet and one guy calls turn blanks and I bet close to pot and guy just calls, river blanks and I bet pot and he just calls and flips over 55... nit!
Vs this same guy I have later an interesting hand where utg limps and he raises in mp and I rr in lp with AK. The guy has like a bit less than 5k chips total. He thinks a bunch and flat calls pretty much pot committing himself and flop comes all low cards, he checks and I insta shove and he flips over QQ and fold... the dealer goes "wtf" in portuguese and we all laugh hehe.
So I get moved to another table, with about 16k chips, starting stacks was 10k, avg is like 11.5k so I am doing ok. My neighbor table has Humberto Brenes and very soon he gets in an all in spot and loses and the brazilian guy who eliminates keeps saying in portuguese "shark, where is the shark... sharky sharky" hehe. Anyways one of my very first hands in this new table is 1010, i raise in lp button flats and bb flats. Flop is 10QK with 2 clubs, bb checks i check btn bets 1500 in about 2k ish pot. BB thinks and calls and I rr to 6500, button folds and bb thinks for an hour before calling with A7 clubs, turn blanks and river boom club! Fag.
I get crippled to about 5kish and just continue grinding, stealing a few pots etc. I get back to about 8kish when ep guy limps and i raise AQo, a short stack with about 4.5k shoves all in and I call, he has AK and i suck. Back to about 4kish or so. A bit later I get 88 and shove on bb vs co raiser. He has Qks and I hold. Get back to about 8kish where again I start the grind.
At this moment at another neighboring table, moneymaker is in an all in spot and brazilian guy sucks out on river with a flush or something and all I hear is "suck it!" in portuguese and a lot of cheering (note: we, brazilians, are not bad manner but just extremely emotional!). Anyways I am back to about 13kish, avg is about 17k and another criticle hand emerges the guy who called with A7clubs earlier shoves all in as a short with like 8k chips or something and I call with AK on the bb. He shows K9 and starts shouting "one time", I quickly correct him in saying "not one, but two times" and I probably jinxed myself cause flop comes Kx9xx. Fag 2 times.
Anyways, I am crippled once again, and get moved to another table. I instantly shove AJ and get folded and an orbit later shove A9 and get called by one of the cl's who holds 1010, a guy by the name of Leo Bello who is quite famous here. Anyways, his 10's hold and the guy is very gentlemen-like getting up and shaking my hand and giving a comfort hug hehe.
All in all, was a fun experience, my first big live tournament. Today I plan on going site seeing with my gf and some friends. We probably gonna hit the statue of christ redeemer, dont really know the name in english and some other sites. And thats about it, thanks for reading  .
edit: I would put pics but the internet at the hotel is sucking quite a bit so blah.

You run good at flopping sets.
I would be on such tilt if i flop set over set and dont stack some random |
