Hi guys. Sorry couldn’t bring any dosh home for you. Matt had 5% too, so sold 35% in total. Always seemed to be 20% under average chips through day 1, ended on 55,100 (think the average was 66k ish), was happy enough with that, the only confrontation I got into all day was George2Loose raised in early position, think it was the 400/800 level but not 100%, to about 2100, mid position player shoves for about 16k, I’m in the BB, look down at AA, dwell to try and get George involved, he folds. Flop 4J5, turn 8, river A, nice sweat. That puts me up to 45k ish, which again was just below ave at the time. Got moved table in the last level, onto Middy’s table, Matt Perrins and a couple of others I recognised but didn’t really ‘know’. Last hand on the night I find KK in the sb, Perrins raises to 2500 in early pos, Middy in mid re-pops to 7900, playing about 40k I make 31k, both insta fold and we end the night with 55,100.
Day 2 Horner gets moved to our table early, I manage to get up to around 90k winning about 5/6 pots with raises/ 3 bets, no showdowns. Get moved about 2 levels in to a new table where I didn’t recognise anyone, playing around 100 at this point.
One hand of note I can remember, I have AQ on the button, guy in early pos raises to 12.5 @ 1.5/3, I flat. Not entirely sure why in retrospect, but hadn’t seen him play at all and was committing 30% of my stack with any raise. Don’t like it now but hey ho. Flop comes Q 7 5, he checks I lead for 21.4 leaving about 80/85 behind, he insta shoves over the top covering me. I didn’t like, probably thought for the longest of any decision in the comp. Probs seemed standard now, but did call and also turned over AQ, chop it up.
Key hand, up to about 140, blinds @ 2k/4k, raise an unopened pot to 11.2 in the cut-off with AA, BB flats playing about 12k less than me. Flop 2 9 3, he checks, I bet 16.2, he makes it 35, I have no intention of folding, having seen him play, in it goes, he calls, flips 10’s. Turn blank, river a 10, he celebrates like he’s won the world. Very disappointing to go out like that having accumulated chips without more than 4/5 showdowns in a day and a half.
Throw my last 12k in with
10c, nothing flop, out in 52nd.
Anyway, sorry again, and thanks for the buying a %.
