EPT Malta package

[scotty77]

Lost a few small pots to go to 16k from 20k starting.

Then 75/150. UTG 400 I go to 900 with AsAc. He calls. Flop J65ddx. He checks I bet 1200 he raises to 3200 I call. Turn and he bets 4500 I can't do anything other than fold.

Then UTG raises 450 I go 1k with AKcc he calls. Flop 853ccx he check calls 1300. Turn 2x check check. River 8x check check he has A8hh.

UTG limps 200 I go 700 with ThTd. SB calls UTG calls. 742ddx I bet 1500 SB folds UTG calls. turn check check. River 8x he bets 2k and looks really comfortable so just had to fold. I think I made a mistake in this hand as on the flop when the action was on him he looked like he was going to fold and took his time to call so I'd imagine that takes diamonds out of his range. I had 8k back and pot was 5.5k so maybe I should have just jammed as only hand that improved on that turn (if we remove diamonds) was 66.

Peeled pre with 55 and 78s multi way and bricked but just won a hand just before the break to go to 11k at 150/300

Just had a hand where a mistake pre from another player costs us a treble up. Pretty tilting!

UTG opens 900 I just peel JJ playing 40bb in MP intending to trap an active player on the BTN. He does indeed go to 2600. UTG thinks for a while and puts out chips and I can see they are enough for a raise so I fold. Just after I fold it becomes clear from his reaction that he meant to just call. Which if he does I jam with JJ. They get it in regardless. Woulda held v AKcc and AKhh.

Got in JJ v AA for 20bb. KKQK3 board so drawing dead by turn.

Regged for tomorrow.

IPT was a grind with no real hands, the IPT HR was a  lot of strong hands that couldn't win so fingers crossed that the EPT main will go better.

Table 8 seat 2.

Time you ran a little better, Ryan, hopefully in the Main.

Cheers TK.

Only hand from today that I'm disappointed by was the TdTx on the 74dd2x6d board where I didn't jam there turn.  Just didn't use the physical tells to my advantage.  When he tank called flop remember thinking he's basically got 66/55/A5s/A3s here always then when the hit I suddenly was worried about diamonds when it just didn't make sense at all.  Pretty sure that I let him get there with 55/A5.

The crucial hand was the one where I had JJ and there was that misclick pre from the UTG.  Get that in, win the hand and i have a decent stack.

BTW exit hand was JJ v AA for 20bb each so 40bb pot, reading back sounds like it was 10bb each/20bb pot.

Just over 40k from 30k starting. Happy with the table.

[scotty77]

Miscounted it's 45k

Solid start, Ryan, keep it going. This is the one that matters.

[scotty77]

Just folded KK pre flop for 15bb. Lost a couple of small ones too. 35k.

[scotty77]

Frustrating 2 levels.

3b red AA and get 2 peels. Was done with the hand anyway as soon as I saw the JTss8c flop but there was a bet and a raise before me so easy fold anyway.

Bricked 45hh after peeling button multiway on the Kx67hh flop but I decided to just call on the flop with the monster draw so the damage was minimal

Got in AKhh v this Italian guy who's been steaming since level 1 and been good to go. He had 88 and held for 7k each.

Still above starting at 35k at 150/300

[tikay]

Think you'd better stop playing AA & KK Ryan.

[scotty77]

Got upto 65k then bricked a few then lost w AK and QQ so 45kish at dinner break going back to 250/500

[scotty77]

Finished on 69k.

Had a funny hand right at the end of the day. Get in AAv QTdd. Flop KQT. 2 turn J river!

[shipitgood]

Always the river

Good luck tomorrow Ryan
