If only I had read this before going, I probably wouldve called the first hand with Q
8
and wouldve flopped a set. (oops trips sorry TP!)
So card dead the whole time, 55, AJ, and KQ were the only hands I saw in over 2 hours. Made it to about 35th place out of 150 so not too bad, but no cash. Getting hit with a frozen deck is so frustrating.
I missed my two opportunities early on. The one I mentioned earlier with the Q8 where I wouldve flopped a set. Another missed opportunity was in the first level, I had 8
9
and folded to a 200 raise. Flop came 2 9s, 8 on the turn. 4 clubs on the board too so I wouldve definitely gotten paid off.
On the second to last hand I was in the BB with A
8
for 1600 and 200 ante, I had about 4500 left behind. Middle position raises to cover my stack. I decided to fold figuring he has me dominated.
Next hand im SB with Q6o. Everyone folded around to me so without really thinking too much I pushed all in, hoping I could get the blinds I just lost back and see a few more hands. BB called with A9 and ace high held up all the way.
In retrospect, I probably shouldve called the A8 the hand before, which is really my only regret for the day. Other than that, I never saw a hand the whole time. I really learned a lot today, hopefully next time I go I can get some cards!
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading!
