wow what a day lol/

Yesterday I played a session and made day 2 in two amazing tournaments, the $215 6max rebuy which is basically my favourite tournament, and the $2k 8 max which is pretty reggy but very fun. We were around $20k behind the Swedes in the bet, but I had around 10k locked up here, day 2 started at 3pm, so I had to start 3 hours earlier than normal, which I was really concerned would **** my rhythm up.

Woke up at 1pm, watched Arsenal/Chelsea and got Sunday roast.

Got back just in time and built up my stack in 215r. Bust out hand was relatively interesting, fishy kinda guy opens cut off and I have like 28bbs in the sb with 99, obv absolutely loving life, I think I would sometimes induce here vs certain guys, but jammed this time. He kinda tanked a bit and called KK Cheesy got a decent score in like 15th though and confidence was high.

Had to reg the other tables and wait 4-5 hours for the second day 2. Playing was pretty fun, I made sure that I would play 8 tables max, so I wouldnt be overcrowded for the day 2.

Day 2 came around and I build up 3x my stack early and then played this hand.

Can't remember exact stacks left in the tournament, but we were down to 3 tables and this would give me really great stack. His call is just absolutely absurd, but we have to remember that we want him to make the call. I shouted really loud words I cannot write in this blog, but believe me it wasn't pretty. My dog came upstairs, I think she thought I was calling her name to give her some food lol.

Anyway, I had some good stacks so plowed on, I got 2 big stacks, one in the Sunday Grand and one in the 5k on Party. I was 5 handed on party, locked up $35k and then had the most ridic hand I've played on an ft I think Cheesy

My friends were telling me that they thought raise would look too strong, but I just know how these guys think and how they respond to playing vs me. River I kinda couldnt believe it, I thought I had misread the action or the board or the hands or something, just couldnt understand how he had called. Whatever though, again we need these guys to make these calls for us to be able to keep putting bread on the table Cheesy

Also an important thing here is not being entitled, we have to remember the times that I won AQ v AK aip or 77 v AK for big pot etc, sure we may not get it in with such low equity, but even getting like AA v KK for chiplead is getting super lucky, whenever youre on an FT, everybody on the table including yourself has ran amazing to get there, unfortunately as humans we just remember the last hand more than the rest usually, and unless you win the tournament, you always fool yourself that your'e most unlucky guy, ofc its not true!

Anyway, one last table and had the $1k. 39 left, 31 paid, I guess average is like 30bbs, I open and get called by VAMO South American guy

https://www.boomplayer.com/25291474_29B356AEBE

I think flop is standard/vg, but turn I think is diceeeyyyyyyy, pot is just so huge though, so I guess we close our eyes and get it in, god knows though. Obviously kinda unfortunate, but guess I did get the majority of the money in dead.

On a scale of 0-100 I want to play tomorrow around about a 3/100. Lets see how I wake up though.

You asked them Ingame?

No. Flop comes, "wowwwww got the fucking nuts" I'm going to min raise, these guys never fold vs it" "wow that looks super strong, I just call these spots" "nahhh this is way better"

I actually think, even if you have like the 2 best players in world next to you, changing what you're doing because of what they think is very very bad, not ethically, but just because you know the gameflow, your own image, and lots of small thigns they cant see from glancing over to your screen for a second. I would never ghost horses deep in tournaments, not just because of morals etc, but because they will actually know better than me a lot of the time. Very dangerous to do something that your brain tells you is wrong.

But yeah, definitely not asking people in game for help Cheesy

Was playing a $2.20 8 game mix (just missed the final) and watching your game - brutal exit after that flop- vwp though and enjoyable for a spectator if not the ideal finish for you on that last hand

5 left in 25k.. did not end well Cheesy

Thanks for all of the nice words and support, its really nice to have.

I'll be honest, when I lost the 75 on the 986 last week I took it really terribly, I thought it was me against the world, me running the worst, everybody else running the best, I tried to carry on but then losing the A8 to KQ on A82 with 5 left in the 5k I was really thinking negatively, nobody runs worse than me and lots of bullshit.

Tonight when he hit, I don't want to say I expected it or something moany like that, but afterwards I just smiled, I really just smiled and instantly started sending money to people who bought, wasn't really effected 0.1% negatively which is super weird considering with 30 left in the 2k I was swearing and shouting lol.

Not sure what it is, I told a friend that running bad last week is probably the best thing that could ever have happened to me, it numbed me for this run bad, it made me just numb of all negative feelings and thats something I've never been able to control previously. This time last year I would have been soooooo tilted, would have spite railed against friends, made enemies in poker, made villains different colour tags, but really just super neutral and zen now, that to me is way bigger achievement than being 98% to 3/4 in the toughest tournament of the year playing for $750k.

I'll take tomorrow off and then come back on Sunday with a good minset and try my best to get another score.

BTW, I updated on instagram story (bitb staking) all day today, how I prepared for session, what I think is lucky (lol) and stuff, check it out!

Gross way to bust out but 'grats on the deep run.

What's intriguing me is how many Stars Coins did you get when you opened those 3 chests Smiley

( I Got 6 3 & 1 my last three opened ).
