Day two of FPS Grand Final with 60k from 25k starting. 600/1200 next.
Amazing comp. 467 runners on day 1a. Probably get 700+ tomorrow. I'd say this was the best value 1k I've ever played.
This blog has been actually very hand history free in the past year or so, I guess partly a conscious decision and a result of me being less excited by run-of-the-mill I had Ace King etc HHs. But I had some interesting / funny hands today.
Hand 1Despite poor feedback and a backlash from the computer poker brigade, I brought back the donk bet, and for once, it didn't have disastrous results.
Raise QQ utg1 600 at 100/200, MP1 3bets to 1550, MP2 cold calls. MP1 French, 30s, MP2 Russian, very inexperienced live, could be very wide here. I SMOOTH CALLED.
I BET OUT 2500, MP1 raises to 7500, MP2 folds. I jam 16k, he calls.
Wasn't loving it, expecting to see KK/AA a decent amount. But could be JJ or AKdd AQdd (i didn't have
) and can never rule out the French Factor of him just having some random shit, Tx, other FD or worse. Held vs A8dd.
Hand 2ACES
Aforementioned Russian, raised MP1 to 1200 at 250/500, CO calls, BTN is a pretty tight older french guy, makes it 3400. I'm loving life. Make it 8400 from SB. Russian doesn't see my raise and throws in a 5k chip to call the 3400. Now he has to / chooses to anyway call the 8400. He has 3k back. CO folds and the BTN calls too. He has about 19k back. Interesting...
We get a nice 887 flop and the pot is about 26k. I have to check this of course, but it checks round. 2 on the turn, and I bet 6k. Have to bet twice to get stacks in vs the BTN if possible so checking again didn't think was an option. Both fold quickly!
Hand 3Open CO A7o 1200 at 250/500. SB and BB peel.
, checks to me, I cbet 1900, SB folds, quick raise from oldish French guy to 4500, I call.
turn, he jams 16500!
I've seen him play one hand (quite new to table) and it was him jamming 15k from the bb after 3 limps of 500...
If I hadn't witnessed that hand it's an easy fold, decided to fold anyway, thinking that he could just have AJ, A9, and I'm dead. J9 or bigger ace I'm in very bad shape and a big draw I'm 70-80%.
