Day 1C finished. Avg stack is somewhere around 42K. I finished with 59k. I had Mike Carrol (sp) at my table, who was cool with one of my boys so we stayed away from each other mostly. There was a real tough Swedish player -- very aggro, mixed it up etc, who I tried to stay away from for the most part. Besides that there were 2 decent players but they were overly tight, and a bunch of complete morons.
I grinded most of the day and didn't play too many big pots....
A few interesting hands
Blinds 100-200, MP open to 550, Aussie Girl flats and I 3 bet to 2150 (the first 3 bet at the table all day) with A
K
. PFR folds, and Aussie flats again
ok she has a big one obv....
Flop A
J
6
She checks and I check
Turn: 4
She bets 3k and I call
River 4
She checks, I bet 6500 and she snaps me....
I turn over AK and she flips.... KK
... um WTF R U DOIN???
Another semi interesting hand, I raise the 150-300 A25 blinds to 800 with Q
T
from the hijack and a weak player 3 bets me to 2500 from the BB. Eh whatever, hes pretty easy to outplay post and I could hit a big one anyway, I'll make a loose call... Flop comes 9
8
4
. He leads out for 2400.... lol ummm ok, you obv have nothing here, lemme flat and hope to hit a J , some clubs, or pick it up on the turn when a blank hits and you give up. Turn is 5
He checks I bet 5100 he snap folds...
For the most part I grinded out small pots... this super passive donk to my left shouldve given me so much more with AA vs JJ. Blinds were 100-200 I raise to 550 and he flats. Flop T
7
4
. I bet 700 he flats. Turn 5
I bet 1850 he flats again. River 9
. I should VB here, but I give him 98 or X
X
so I check too see if he'll stab, but he snap checks behind and turns over JJ. I scoop the pot in disgust and somehow tilt after winning!
One last interesting hand from the Swed... He raised the 150-300 blinds to 800, the SB calls and I call light out of the BB with 4
3
. Flop comes 7
6
3
. Checks around. Turn 6
. SB checks, I bet 1700 and he raises me to 5850. SB folds... I like have to have the best hand here right? He doesn't check behind 6s or overpairs like ever here.... I just don't wanna play a big pot with him so I tank a little and eventually muck telling him im 99% sure Im folding the best hand... at the end of the session we talked a little and he said he had AK.... yea I figured.... nh. He said he was betting 12k on most rivers, so bleh...
GL tom JD and Windbreaker, keep me updated. Im at table 133 Fri for Day 2A if anyone wants a mini rail.
