Went to the Gala with Steve, to find the 10pound Freezeout had been replaces with a 10pound triple chance, which is good. Figured it would be just as fish infested but with the added value of a rebuy and topup just incase ;)
Struture is ok, 2500 starting stack with a 20 min clock
My starting table was very poor, with a lot of dead money. The first hand of the night says it all really.
4 players limp to flop - Ah 9s 7s
utg bets pot (250), call, call, raise to 1000, call, call, call, call, call
turn is Td
utg bets 500 (into +4kpot) call call allin call call call call call
Utg shows As6s
women shows J8o for turned straight
raiser shows KK
other caller show A5o lol
river spade for UTG to make nuts
As you can tell i was quite happy with the standard of the table but found myself absolutely card dead with no real hands to note for first hour.
i topped up for another 2500 and started the f/o with about 7k in chips
First premium hand, ak and i flop fullhouse for ZERO action lol
I really struggled as had no big hands but also didnt seem to get any playable cards in position of the big fish!
Got my stack dented by a v weak callin station when i flopped 2 pair from sb and tried to get all his chips
Qd Td 4h 3s and i put him all in with top two, he calls of his stack with 4d 7d (which he limped in with pre?!!)
down to 4k with blinds at 200/400 and 60 reamining i was in a spot but found switching gearsinto a betting monstaer was good and chipped back up to 11k pretty quickly.
with 45ish players left i had an interesting hand - blinds 400/800
on button with 75ss i limp, sb folds and bb checks his option
flop - 7 6 3
he bets 2500 into 2000 pot and i ponder for AGES, eventually gettin my 1st ever clock called on me, i know im infront but wanna get this crucial hand right
i call and the turn brings Ah
he checks, i bet 2500 again and he insta check raises to 5k, so i insta reraise all in for another 6k and he folds ;)
Our table breaks with 20 players remaining and i get shoved two seats to left of chip leader who had over 140k in chips.
i have 21k and am one of the short stacks, with 10 gettin paid.
there are a lot of akwards stacks on my table 30k-45k that due to this huge chip leader can pretty much fold to final table and i wanna exploit this.
in first to levels 7 people go out but im down to 17k, as i tried to vbe creative with small pps to no avail.
with the blinds about to increase to 1k/2k and with 19k in chips i limp utg +1 with 78ss after utg limps.
sb is v aggressive and has 45k in chips and the bb is the chip leader so i wanna be in the pot
two more limpers and the small blind raises again to 5k, folds to me and i insta shove as i figure the sb wont call of half his stack light
i was right - he had AA
i hit the flop for a pair but miss turn and river and finish 13/100
Boooo
