Hello from the Irish Open.
It has been nearly 6 months since I last played a majour. So it feels good to be playing!
I thought I would share my thoughts with you all and see if it is just me whop thinks this is bizare.
Day 1 started with 708 player all with 10,000 chips and a 1 hour clock. A decent blind structure and great atomosphere.
To end the day early must have been done due to the pace that the feild was dropiping
Even after level 5 that is 5 hours of play we had lost over 350 players???¿¿¿¿¿?
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿
I was not complaing the quicker I win this the quicker I can get back to work
Anyway I hope that tomorrow morning I have more exciting tales of the day and more schoking stories like a man I tried to get of a hand at the start of level 3.
I raised like I was doing a lot but had decided to play a little tighter now I had build up to 40K. he reraised me from 700 to 2500. I thought for a while and decided to set him in as I was confident he cant call me without QQ KK AA. I was wrong he decided to put his tourny on the line pushing his 8K he had left over the line with AK. When I asked him why his reasonable explaination was that he decided if I reraised him he was calling!
Ok I said TY.
I know I was aggressive but I had up to that point only turned over top hands and I had not lost 1 pot I had been called down with or 1 showdown. But hey I was happy I know he will pay me off.
My favourite had yesterday was my raise UTG with
6 callers as normal as if you look up respect in the dictionary you will see my picture! the flop comes
I bet and get 2 callers, the turn brings the
to which I continue to bet and get 2 callers with the river
a further bet with only 1 call.
Always easy when you hit
