Pretty mad sunday. Following my recent success and growing confidence in my game, I played probably as a big a schedule as I've ever played. Think I played 25 tournaments, abi about $120 and took some action in friends too.
It went pretty badly, I bricked all but two of the tournaments, BUT the two were/are good ones.
The big sweat is the 100euro .FR summer special, which is a two day event, I've made day two 9/95, with a few hundred in the bag, playing for 20k euros first prize. So I have a big stack, and the field is really nice and I'm hopeful for a result there.
I also ran like god in a 20euro hyper turbo, coming 2nd for 1k euros, which covers about 1/2 of the days buyins, which was incredibly fun of course.
I'll give a brief TR because the way the tournament went down was pretty funny.
It's the fastest most crapshooty tournament I've ever played. You start with 10k at 25/50 and the blinds go up every 3minutes.
Before I know it I have 10k at 500/1k and there's 4 allins before me, all for about 10k also. I have TT in the bb! I'm like err go on then, this'll be a good way to spin up a stack - call! Before I get the chance to see what I'm up against, I just flop T55, and they're all dead. 88, 66, 44 and AK. Knew I was ahead!
Then about 20 minutes go by, I'm card dead, not really paying any attention to it, all of a sudden I have 9bigs! But still a top 5 stack with 30 left
Call a shove with AJ and hold, then another one with AQ and hold, 1/25 now. Get to the final, with about 6bigs, am 3/9 lol.
Down to 3.5bbs, still 2 shorter stacks! Win Q6>55 and 87>A2 to survive (mbn mbn) and then ladder a bit, suddenly am heads up, with 6bigs.
And KINGS!
Whoop, All in, the guy calls with
and flops a convincing straight flush
to seal the win in style!
Hilariously fun tournament.
