Event #36 $1000nl Day 2
ARGHHHHHH!!!
Busto - 142nd place for $2,903.
All tournament long I had atleast 45bbs+ and felt like it was impossible to bust. At the start of the day I was raising a bunch and chipping up very nicely on the bubble. Neil Channing moved to my table again towards the money and he was cipleader to start the day and lost more than half his stack by the money so that was nice. He was pretty easy to play against though, he never 3 bet and two times he just called my raises and he played pretty weak after the flop. Finally I stacked a pretty aggressive player in the money where I raised JJ pre, Neil called on the button and the kid from the bb called. 8 5 2 rainbow and I bet, Neil called and the kid check shoved for about 20k. I reshoved and Neil showed an 8 when he folded, the guy to my left also said he had an 8 before the kid flipped up his hand - J8 drawing dead lol.
The hand before dinner break I also made a pretty good call where I called a raise from the BB with QQ from a decent player who raised early. The board ran out K 6 2 6 7 and I check-called the flop and turn and the guy bet about 14k on the river which seemed a little odd because my stack was about the size of the pot. So I just made a few assumptions based on his bet sizing that he was bluffing a decent amount of the time and when I called the river he just tapped the table and said NH. Whew!! That put me at about 80k instead of down to like 15k if I was wrong and went to dinner break feeling pretty good.
When we got back the next half hour was so bad. This aggressive Russian guy moved to my table and I had opened twice since we got back in good spots and both times he reraised me pre and I folded. Not too worried I just figured he was getting hands. Then I opened AK utg to 4k and got two callers, then it gets to the Russian guy who squeezes to 16k. Now I had enough info based on our history and the stack sizes of the other guys that called that the Russian guy had a wider range than AA and KK so I decided to 4 bet but not all in. I made it 18k more and it folded to him and he thought FOREVER. Literally like 7 minutes the guy looked like he was pained by his decision he had. I'm glad I didn't just shove because he would probably have had an easier decision because I would do that with AK alot. Finally after looking like he was about to fold like 6 times he said all in and I called and lost a flip to his JJ for 150k pot which would have put me near the chiplead at the time. ARGGGGGGG.
Next event is on Wednesday another $1500nl and then another one on Friday. 4 cashes so far for $21,595 and 7 events left to go!!!!
