I did happen to play this tournament, If I'm brutally honest, I didn't enjoy it from a personal view, I tend to play online mostly these days, and was not comfortable with so many people, kind of like a personal thing more than anything...
Being totally disorganised did not help, was on the alternates list (28th), but DTD being DTD, managed to get in at the start of level 2.
Was playing really badly from the moment I sat down, did not feel comfortable, and was calling off silly bets when there was no need to.
The cut off raises I'm on the button with 10 8, I flat, the bb re raises another 2k, cut off calls, so I call. flop comes 9 high rainbow, they both check, so I bet 7kish and they both fold.
I gradually build up and then early postion raises I'm next to him and decide to flat, sb re pops 1800 more, o/r folds, I call with KK, flop comes Q high with 2 dd, I chk raise, he sets me all in, I call he has
lovely - I am ready to walk and then a god send slams a
on the river....
I then make a horrific play when I raise all in on a paired board, when I make the nut striaght, and he has quad 2's, I then get my remainder AIPF with 99 vs AA on life tilt, flop a flush draw and turn an open ended straight draw and miss ..
Deserved to lose, and was gutted at how bad I actually played when I was looking forward to this comp for so long.
Hopefully I can play in the next leg, and make amends.
Great tourney tho, and well done, once again, DTD, for running such a smooth ship!
Over and out
