[youthnkzR]

Thanks mate have 60k after first break.. 500/1000/100

[youthnkzR]

77k break 2... Lost a flop bet on 109 cc vs j4 hh on 678 hhh where I probably could have folded flop vs cbet for the only significant pot of the two levels.. Will give full report when I get back

[youthnkzR]

Sorry guys bust.... AK to 99 all in pre J73.... A... 'Unlucky mate'.... '9'...... I should learn to keep my mouth shut next time... That pot was for a 80-90bb stack.. Would have felt pretty confident about progressing the day in the structure if won that one.

Then got finished off for our remaining 9.5bbs a10 v KK

Thanks for investing.. Will write w proper report when I'm home

Day 1 - Full report:

L1 - Uneventful. 30k.

L2 - End this level on 14k.
      Hand 1: Opened from +1 and 3 barreled into a spot where he was really capped. Board ran out a 4 straight and I got called by 2nd pair. After playing with the guy more I realised he wasn't the one to bluff.
      Hand 2: Peel UTG open to 450 @ bb150 from +1 with  . BTN also calls. Call 650 bet on  . BTN overcalls.  Turn checks round. I call a 1100 bet on a brick river and UTG has .

L3 - Chip up without showdown to 17k.

L4 - Open to 550 UTG 7 handed with  @ 100/200/25. Visibly tilted guy goes all in from BTN for ~3k. BB live reg calls. I jam and get it in vs BB  and BTN  . Runs out A T x x x. So we make it back up to around SS.

L5 + L6 - Uneventful in terms of significant pots but table dynamic changes with the aggro guy to my right busting so am able to open up a bit more. Chip up to 50k without showdown.

L7 - One hand of significance. 2 hands before the day ends. Im SB with 50k and  . BTN reg limps playing ~30k @ 250/500/50. I Raise SB to 1750. BB Calls 1750. BTN peels.

Pot ~5.5k.

    . I bet 3100. BB folds. BTN peels. Pot now ~11.5k

. I check, him 6300. I call.

. I check, him jam 18k. I fold.

He had  . Almost instantly regretted calling turn. Think turn x/f is the best option by miles. Seems weak but when we breakdown his range based on preflop / flop plays, I struggle to find a bluff range vs an uncapped amount of value.

Ended up ending day on 34,550.

Day 2:

Level 1 + 2:

Win a flip vs someone I play with online with near daily with   v   . Chip up without showdown to 60k.

Level 3 + 4:

Hand 1 - Win a small flip vs a shortstack with AK.
Hand 2 - Get dealt   in HJ. Open to 1800 @ 400/800/100. CO jams 19k total. BB (Richard Kellet) COLD CALLS the 19k jam from his 50k stack. Regrettably I tank folded. In the moment I felt he'd rejam JJ + AK / flat AA KK QQ - theoretically you'd want some balance and should flat range however i dont think this happens in reality. (FWIW the CO is never getting out of line here - I think AQ would be a fold to CO player from BB spot). Anyway turns out i was wrong because BB had JJ and CO had AK.
Hand 3 - HJ opens to 1600 from 35k @ 400/800/100. Peel   from BTN. Blinds both call.   . SB check. BB reg leads for 3k (roughly half pot). CO folds. I call. SB folds.   turn river go check check. He shows   . Pretty dissapointed in my flop call. Think its one of the only mistakes I made the entire tournament. Flop is a clear fold.

End level 4 on 77k which is exactly average going back to 800/1600/200.

Level 5:

Hand 1: Open 99 UTG v BB. Lose 1 bet on    .
Hand 2: Get dealt   on BTN. CO opens to 3500. I 3Bet to 8200. He jams 45k. I call. He has   ............   . Pretty sucky runout but its a pretty standard flip that youve gotta win to win a tournament.
Hand 3: Get AJ in vs AQ. 237J5. to double us to 35k.
Hand 4: Open 77 UTG. Go 3 way vs HJ and CO to QQ4r. Cbet 1/3. Get called in 1 spot. Check/fold 5x turn.
Hand 5: Get     in vs   and get a sweat on   .

Was pretty disappointed to lose the big flip. Would have had 85bbs in a very slow structure. Felt really comfortable in the tournament and felt I was at the top of my game for the vast majority. The only bad

[Longines]

Thanks for the write up and the sweat Tom.

[tikay]

No complaints at all here, especially after that ugly river.

Will always be happy to buy a bit of your action when available.
