My day was very up and down in the deepstack. First hand, we're playing 6-handed with the bb sitting out and UTG opens to 275. I peel
and someone else comes along too. Flop is T85 two diamonds, we both call a 675 bet. But I c/f on the
turn to another bet, other guy calls but then folds to a third barrel on the
river. OR had Jacks.
Couple of hands later, young Asian kid raises to 250 in MP and I just flat bb with JJ. Flop comes AT7 and I c/call 325 but then c/f to a 700 bet on the 9 turn. Felt like I played this hand a bit weak, but I think it's ok. Marvellous do 2k in the first 10 minutes.
Dribble down to about 11k and 5 ppl limp on my big blind at 100/200, I check 6-2 and flop comes
, gets checked around and the turn is the
. I lead for 650, old guy makes it 2k on the button, don't like flatting here b/c so many rivers go c/c or I have to pay off a bet if he has a draw. I make it 6k though I wish I maybe had shoved, made it look more drawy, he folds anyway.
Get moved tables and lose a couple of pots to a guy who seems to playing pretty well. My opinion changes when he fails to get the lot with
on an
board against
. Action went c/c, bet (from the A-J) call, b/c. This nearly life tilts me.
Get moved to Sunny's (Free Rollin) table where there's absolute superdonk getting the lot. It's 300/600/50 and he's limping every hand and never folding. One hand he limps UTG on Sunny's BB and the K-2-3-4-4 board gets checked down. Sunny shows 7-6o...losing to 8-6o.
I dwindle down to about 5.5k and limpstation limps utg, I jam
in his eye since I'm miles ahead of his range. He calls with
and somehow misses on a
board, then berates me for pushing with K-high. Next hand, he opens for 2.2k a little pissed I've got
and it's greeeeeeeen, I jam again for about 13k now. Someone jams behind for about a similar sized stack and limpstation folds. Opponent has A-K but I bink straight away to put me up to 30k. A couple of hands later, the one good player on the table opens to 2k from the cutoff, I repop from the big blind with
, he insta-jams, I sigh and call and flip goot vs his
and suddenly I have about 54k.
The limpstation then just starts calling off his whole stack over the next couple of hours. His last hand was awesome, he limps utg for 1,000 playing about 15k, Scottish guy next to him limps
. Small blind shoves
for about 17k, limpstation snap-calls all-in. Scottish guy looks miserable and folds. Limpstation had
, I kid you not, and he busts.
I lose a couple of pots and get moved again to a new table. First hand I get 6-6 raise to 2,500 at 500/1,000, it's passed around to the small blind who jams for 17k. Blinds are about to go 600/1,200 and I'll have 23k if I call and lose here, it seems pretty marginal so I fold.
It gets to my big blind and the small blind playing 16k just limps so I just glance at
declare all-in and throw out 20k to cover him. He snaps...Ah. Crap. He shoves in his chips and flips....A-2, owned. I flip my cards and then....the dealer MUCKS MY HAND! I say, "What are you doing? He called all-in." The dealer says he didn't hear me call and I said, "That's because I pushed first," he has shoved my cards right into the muck and they have to get the floorman to come along. After much searching, including me seeing a couple of jacks that were sure gonna come on the flop now, the floor guy recovers my hand and I sure bink.
Down to 23k and midposition opens to 3.5k and I have
in the small blind and jam and everyone folds to put me back to 30k. So by now I must have the image of a complete maniac but then the table breaks and I get moved straight into the big blind with about 50ish left or so.
Button opens to 4k and I repop to 12k with
and he folds, I then try a couple of raises from the cutoff and button but get 3-bet both times and have to fold.
A round later and middle position raises to 3.3k and gets flatted, I jam for 27k with
from the cutoff, OR tanks for five minutes and calls with A-K and other guy folds. I hit a Queen on the flop but I get the full 'yell-fist-pump-combination' when the king comes on the river. Stay classy, America.
These comps are great though, I wish I had time to play more really. Good luck to Ralph, he seemed to be constantly chipping up all day and has more moves than the other players will give him credit for. Not gonna play the $1k today, just chill out and then the $340 tomorrow.
