I was playing a long MTT session yesterday. It had been a so-so day, with one FT but no wins. I rather foolishly decided to play the $11 SCOOP at 1am GMT. Since i started grinding at 2pm i was being a bit over ambitious in thinking i could grind it out. At 1am i was feeling great. Playing good and really up for the long session. Then around 2:30am i was sooooo tired, couldn't keep my eyes open. So rather reluctantly I decided that I could not play any longer as there was no way I could last another 8 hours at least for FT.
So rather than just quit and fold out I thought I would have a bit of fun. I got some black tape and put it on my screen to cover my hole cards. Yeah. I was gonna play blind.I wanted to see how it would develop.
Before I hid my hole cards I had about 13k stack, with average stack of 19k. I actually did not think I was gonna last too long. My plan was just to play in position and use pure aggression to fold out hands. It was really quite interesting. I would give myself a range of cards that I believe the villain would put me on and go with that. Rather surprisingly I was running rampant lol. I managed to chip up to 30k stack, with average of 21k. I was then starting to think, hey maybe I should just keep playing. But nah I was super super tired, and It was just not worth it busting out in 100th for stupid amount of dollars. I lasted a bit longer, keeping up the aggression. I also discovered I had folded KK UTG. xD Anyway It came to an end about 45mins after playing blind, by getting called down. I had 3bet and was repping AK hand and he didn't buy it and called me down with TT. Doh!
It was fun and really interesting. Sometimes when playing MTTs it is so easy to go into a nit up mode. I think I will def try to be a bit more aggressive with a medium stack.
On another note, good luck for the SCOOP ME all LPers. I will be playing the Low.
