Yeah, he busted out 76th. I had just walked away from my table in the other tourney to check on his stack when I noticed a seat card sitting in front of his empty chair. Uh oh. Yup, there he was at the cashier's table. I caught up with him later on and he told me about his day. I'll let him tell you guys, of course. Tough break in the end.
As for my tourney, it went almost exactly like yesterday's. I started off well and built a stack, and then went ridiculously card dead. In 3+ hours of play, I literally was dealt the following pairs: TT (lost a big pot), 66 (lost a medium pot), and 33 (folded preflop). I had AK exactly once and doubled up with it, and didn't have AQ, AJ, AT all day. Yeah, nice cards. When the blinds went from 100/200 with a 25 ante to 200/400 with a 50 (that's a big jump), my already not so great stack immediately became a short one. I pushed UTG with A7 (the blinds would have crippled me the next two hands) and got called by AK. I flopped a 7, but fear not, he hit a King on the turn. Meanwhile, P0ker H0 lasted exactly 3 hands this time. He busted with AA. He raised preflop and was called by an EP limper. Check/bet/call on the all rag flop. Then the board paired 3s on the turn, the limper bet, H0 pushed, and the limper called and flipped up 33. LOL.... Good stuff. He and I seriously need to stop swapping. I played with some fairly big online players today. I don't remember all their names, but Marvin Garden was one... He and his wife started their own business (with some of his poker money), making high end suntan lotion and stuff. He gave me a sample. Pretty cool. Anyway, that's all for now. I think I'm done tourneys for this trip. Maybe I'll hit the cash tables later, but probably not. I may actually play online later on tonight in the lobby. It's a cool environment down there, with some many people gathered around tables full of latops. |

You all know about the KK hand. I had a real crap image at the beginning since I was opening a bunch. Then, people started to play back at me, and I would finally fold A9 or 66 or something equivalent. So, after about 1/2 an hour after getting a 75k advance to the stack, I was back to where I started and decreasing.
Then, Ted Lawson (I think, he looked a lot like that PLO donk that won a WSOP bracelet) opens in the hijack+1 and I 3bet AQo in the SB to 65k leaving myself 70kish behind. He thinks for a couple of minutes, and then tables AJo. I guess I'm playing way too tight if AJ thinks that long before hitting the muck. 1/2 an hour later, Some black guy from Denver limps UTG (I think limping is pretty much always a mistake with blinds this high in a tourney) and I iso raise with A7o. He calls. Flop comes 778 with two hearts. He checks, I cbet, he check/raises an amount that commits me. I push and he call with 44. I hold up. Finally, the hand that busted me. I raise with 68 SOOTED in the hijack. The chipleader of the whole tourney with about 600k at that point calls in the CO and everyone else folds. Flop is JT8 with two spades. I cbet 3/4 pot, he calls. Turn is a 6 (non spade). I check, he bets 60k, I push for about 180k. He instacalsl. He has JJ. Drawing dead never felt so bad. 14k is an ok payday for a vacation I suppose. |
