Even though I did rubbish in the comp itself, the afternoon played out in an interesting fashion.
Alex and I started off on tables 37 and 38 respectively, both in seat 6. First hand we were three handed with a dead big blind.
. Raise to 150, small blind calls. Flop
, and villain leads for 600..? I make it 2025 and he calls quickly. Turn was a brick and he gives up, but thanks for bloating the pot. Over on the next table, Alex was busy making a straight flush and felting his first victim. Hand #2
, make it 150 again, see a
flop four ways. In hindsight maybe I shouldn't have cbet this flop, but I got two streets from one player. Meanwhile Alex had flopped a straight flush draw and got there on the turn to claim his second victim. Looked like it was going to be a good day for the boys!
Alas, it was not to be, and I was out before the first break despite peaking at 18k. A late entrant came into seat 9 and started running over the table, leaving me to flip with the shortstacks to no avail. JJ < AQ; AQ < JJ; AJ < 88, and gg me. SWONGS. <3 low stakes mtts.
Has been a ridic low volume month, but I have the sleeves rolled up for August. I have a new mattress so I'm no longer sleeping on the floor, and a new laptop so I live out my life on Blonde without having to leave my room. I also have a gig dealing in Manchester for one day with the old school DTD bunch, and a night out with the boys tomorrow, so spirits should be high. Let's crush August!
