Plenty of blondes down at Gutshot for their 4 day GSOP.
Today is Day Two. Blinds have an hour left at 100-200, 25 running ante. 180 odd started, & 117 are left. Starting stack was 10,000.
Thewster 14,850.
Wardonkey - about 16,000 I think.
Jen - 8,000 -ish.
Alright Jack 5,600-ish.
What was the buy-in?
Chili - 8,500.
Me - 14,925.
Poor Red ran KK into Mr Lairy Man's-usually-got-garbage AA & busted early.
snoops lasted even less long. Dana tells me she's not at all surprised.
Jen was deep stack all day, until her AK narrowly failde to budge Mr Rock off QQ & she missed. She then went on the tear & fought back to 8k with a series of bold pushes.
Chili was the new Yoyo - 14k, 6k, 15k, 6k, 12k, 4k. I told her to "lock up" the last 10 minutes when she was down to 4k. So she went on an all-in rampage, bullied back up to 8k, including an astonishing push with bugger all. Sorry, AA.
Patrick Wardonkey played his usual solid game.
I had a cheek clenching moment after 4 hours. In the SB with 5-9, 3 way action, the flop came
..... I checked, BB bet 600, Matey Boy called 600, I Raised 2k, BB moved all-in on me! 9-T? Nah,don't think so. Two pair? Maybe. Trips? Possibly. Flush draw? Hope not. Straight draw. Could be. As ever, my hand-reading skills were spot on - he had 4-5! Phew.....
Buoyed by this good fortune, I decided to send Jen Lady Mrs Merton Mason, who'd slid into a seat two to my left, a little message, & Raised her BB with Q-9. You need to put Jen in her place otherwise she dominates, see?
She called, the fool-ess. Flop was A-K-9, 2 spades, she checked, & I bet 1,000, protecting my (non-existent A) as I would aganist the spade draw. She called. She check callled my 1k Turn bet, too. Damn. No sweat, I'll get her off it easy, on the end. River, she bets 4k. What? Eh? I gave her a good ticking off, & said "now behave, right? - I'lll let you live this time". She said sorry, it won't happen again, as she "accidentally" showed her hand. 4-4. I think she got the message though.
