late notice, i know, but i've decided to play the prague ept €10k highroller later today and am selling 30% @ 1.1

i've been in prague for just over a week now and the fields have been big and full of fish. my ept starting table was probably one of the softest tables you could find. im not 100% sure on how many runners this will get, and whilst it will obviously not be anywhere near as big as the wpt or ept main, im hopeful that there will still be decent value.

i play mid/highstakes online mtt everyday and think my game is constantly improving all the time. i have played several WSOP/EPTs events now and will be unfazed by the occasion. i have also been on a bit of a heater as of late, outright winning an ept london £1k side event, the stars $1k super tuesday and chopping the stars.fr fcoop main event 3 handed all in the last 2 months. i feel im playing at the top of my game.

sorry guys bad news :(

went down at the start of the tournament and there were only 9 players registered which looked terrible value so i waited an hour before jumping in. i got put on what was undoubtedly the toughest table with elky, bryn kenney, luke schwartz, eugene katchalov and 2 online high stakes players i recognised. this table really wasn't a fair refection of the tournament tho, the other 4 tables were much much softer. this table probably had the 4 best players in the whole comp on it! i did have position on the one fish tho and had no power over the table draw so just tried to play my best. this comp also offered a single €10k reload if u busted early which i saw several fish take on the other tables, boosting the prizepool that little bit extra.

i started well, first hand i played i got 3 big streets of value with bottom 2 on AK579sss. then got paid off for my river overbet with JJ on A964J. schwartz busted elky and bryn kenney got moved, so the table wasn't as tough anymore.

i had chipped up from 25k starting stack to 35k or so when i lost my first big pot. luke opened utg and i flatted KK in mp. one caller behind, then luke cbet big on J96dd. i called. all fairly standard till now. the turn was another J. not a great card but luke checked and i felt like he would actually c/r here a lot (both for value and with his draws, of which there were several). he could also be trying to pot control or bluff catch with some showdown hands. overall i decided to bet, luke did indeed c/r and i called. we now had a sizeable pot but i was still pretty confident with my hand. there are plenty of bad rivers, but tbh i thought he would shut down a lot when i called this turn c/r, so whilst i was hoping he would just give up on the river and check and my hand would be good, i thought this was going to happen the vast majority of the time. unfortunately the river was the 5d completing a couple of the draws out there and making it really difficult for me to win this pot. luke bet big, almost full pot, and i sighed and folded :(

without making this post too long i lost a couple annoying pots after this, 2 pair vs the fish who peeled a 3b out of position with K6off, then check called twice with an idiot end gutshot that got there lol, AdJx on QJT3dddQx, AxJs on A985Qssss. i was getting to river with a marginally worse hand than my opponent each time.

then my bust out, i peeled AQs from the bb off 14k @ 100/200/25 vs luke's cutoff open. i decided to c/r the AATr flop in hopes of building a pot, which he called. turn K i bet small to try and induce him into not folding. we now head into river with 9k effective stacks and 10k in the pot. the river was a brick and i checked to him in the hopes that he would either value bet a worse hand or turn his hand into a bluff and shove me in. i actually really like the way i played this hand vs him as i think it works in what i was trying to get him to do. i could of just 3b pre, and i probably would have if it was later in the tournament. but meh anyways he had ATo for the flopped boat :(
