Once again, decided to hit the live tourney. Same format as before.
I have to say I was pretty happy with my play, and I made the right moves. Little disappointed I did not make the money, but I did go out with grace.
So heres the round up. There was 49 players this week. Start stack 4k, 2 rebuys (6k, then 8k you have to have less than 4k to rebuy. and after break, can addon for 8k each) So starts off with hardly any players arrived, and just was 3 players at my table for first couple hands. Not much happen, see a flop or 2, make a cbet, but catch nothing. Then the table fills up, and i sit back and see how it goes. So this week, my table was the complete opposite as last week (last week there was 5-7way pots..). Much tighter here, with rarely anyone getting a free flop. SOmeone was always raising, and most ppl folding, and 2-4 way flops.
I pick up trash all first hour and a half. Utter trash. I think i saw like 2 flops. I stole some blinds once, and won a flop with pair of Qs. All pretty small pots. Then I am sitting in BB, with 58o, 1 guy calls, and SB completes, and i check. Flop comes 5s Qd 8d. SB checks, and I bet potsize. Player 3 calls, and SB folds. River brings a Jc. So I am thinking hes calling with a medium Q, maybe QT, Q9. I bet 75% pot size. He calls after some thought. So I am thinking, he thinks im on a flush draw or air, and I am thinking he still has a Q, and doubt he has the flush draw. River comes Jd. And I am thinking, balls, gayness, fml. I check, and he thinks about it, then checks. Sure enough he shows Qs 7s, and he takes pot. I show my 2 pair that I was representing, and I loose bit of chips. River killer, but not much I can do there.
So that put me back to just over 4k, with the break coming up shortly. I couldnt rebuy as I was still above 4k. I make it to the break with 3.6k and use the 2 addons. After the break, sadly not much changes, and my run of trash cards continue. Pick up Jacks, and bet 6xBB UTG - everyone folds. Steal some more blinds with 77, and again with JJ few hands later (no one wants to play, as I really had been playing tight, not because I wanted too, but my hands were so bad, I couldnt even loosen up!)
Then the sickest hand of the night happens, which I am not in sadly. But holy shit, it was so sick. Very similar to a hand I went out with in a MTT online quite recently. It went 4 way to the flop, with no raising pre flop. Flop comes Ks Qh Th. SB checks, BB checks, player 3 moves all in, who was pretty short (Around 10-12bb), player 4 then announces all in, everyone out of the hand is thinking, wow sick.. then the SB then shoves all in, and we are all going WOW, sick, and THEEEEN, the BB shoves all in, and the table erupts, and everyone from the other tables come over. Just holy fuck 4 players all in on the flop. Pure sickness!
Players show the hands;
Player 3 - Jh 8h - Str8 flush draw
Player 4 - Ah 9h - Flush draw, but now the str8 flush is dead for player 3
SB - K Q no hearts - 2 pair
BB - A J no hearts - flopped the straight
The guy on BB, is shittin bricks, because he knows hes ahead, but there is SO many outs that kill him. both turn and river are blank for all players, and 2 players are busted, and one guy seriously crippled, with one guy winning a huuge pot. Sick shit!
I make it to the second break with average chip count. By now alot of players have busted out. The blinds are getting real steep now, and I dont really pick up any big hands, but manage to win the blinds each round, and hover around average chip count.
Now the blinds are 2000/4000. I am sitting in the SB, with around 35,000. it folds to the button who limp calls. To my left is the BB who only has 12k left. I have JQhearts. I know if I call, he will surely shove, and, then the button could come over top (who has about 55k). I think for a moment, and announce all in. BB calls, and the button folds. BB shows pocket Ts, and I just have overs. So was this a bad move here? Should I have just folded and got out of the way, or was my shove a correct play? I dont hit anything on the board, and this knocks me down to about 23k.
Next hand I get AJo on the button, and it is folded round to me, and I move all in. Blinds fold and i show that I have a hand. Then the next hand i have AKo. Once again its folded round to me, and i move all in again. This time the button calls (who just won nice amount of chips of me couple hands ago), and the blinds fold. So I am thinking, hes prob PP, and its a race. I ask, "pocket pair yea?", and he nodds with a smile. I say "so its a race", and he looks at me and says , "im afraid its no race", and slowly shows me AA. oh fuck, sick hand lol. Little bit cocky to slow roll me the show, but he had a hand. board is dry and im knocked out in 14th place.
So alot happens in the last few hands, how do you feel I played them here? I feel i made the right moves here, with these hands, considering how steep the blinds were and my stack size. With the bubble approaching soon, I felt I had to go for it. AK in that situation is insta shove right?
Anyway, was a good night, and I will be back for more...
