TR for Luton £300
Most of the interesting hands are already posted itt from day 2 and on day 1 we hovered around starting stack until level 1/200/25 and just watched as table Joe Lamming (he had a lovely seat) took place with the action most commonly going flat, flat, flat, Joe raise, call, call, call - flop - chk, chk, chk, bet Joe followed by fold fold fold until we got the double through as reported with 77 when we flopped a set to get to 26k. For a few levels we had to raise fold in spots and blind down to 19k @ 3/600/75 when we flop 2p with A4hh on a 2 club board but are oop and have to cc the c river to get to 27k where we Ko'd a player who jams 20bigs utg we find AQhh utg+2 and rejam and win the race vs JJ with an Ace on the turn and are down to 45 players.
Our next key hand was at 4/800/100 where UTG flats, Joe makes it 2500 (all standard his dynamic against the Utg) and the SB then 3b's to 5400 (from 25k) we find AKcc and cold 4 to 12150 (from 40k) intending to call it off vs the SB but Joe 5b's all in setting us both in and after a long dwell then a fold from the SB which led me to believe he has JJ,AQ or the same hand as me, I folded as we still had over 30bigs and there were easier spots to be had on the table. I was not sure if this is correct but it was my first Cold 4bet and Joe knows this so I had to give him credit and the live stream we were on confirmed he had KK.
I chipped back up quickly to 45k within a few hands and then got moved for the last level of the day where I got to 57k but then lost the final hand of the day with 66 vs 88 folding the turn against the chipleader on JJ57 as I was oop and the river would leave us most likely facing a tricky decision for at least 1/2 our remaining stack.
Day 2 we again start on the Live Stream table but 4 hands later are moved and then lose 3 hands which sends us backwards in chips where we raise/fold oop, have to raise/fold to a 4b with 66 and then barrelled the turn with 77 on AK55 and folded to the turn CR but the very next hand we find JJ UTG and open to 2650 @ 12/24/150 utg+2 makes it 6200 from 45k we jam for 26k total and are snapped by the "dem aces" and flop 9Q7ss and we have the
so hope for the turn to open us up a bit but instead we bink the offsuit Jack and and hold to move to 54k with 17 left and the avg72k but with 3 big stacks we are in good shape against the others.
We sail through the bubble and then as reported win K3ss vs A7hh jamming the CO for 10bigs and then make further progress to 85k before our exit hand as reported where we get it in good with 10 left and QQ vs 1010 and lose when the 10 rolls off but we cant grumble as we won when we had JJ vs AA and got there and laddered one spot with K3ss vs A7hh.
Next comp is Sat 27th but it is due to be Star City and it has been brought to my attention that a more local (London) comp has a 50k ss on a 50min clock and a 50k gtee for £220 so assume everyone is happy for me to change to that although it costs an extra £4.40 out of the return so far ( diif in tourney £55 x 8% = £4.40) which will render everyones 8% at £47.60 so far.
