Mystery Bounty Day 1A

First hand of note after a quiet first orbit.

Cut off opens to 1200, we 3b AKhh to 4k.

Blinds fold he calls

Flop

Check we cbet 3500 he calls

Turn

Check/ check

River

Check, bet 10k he tank folds

Couple of raise/ folds/ peels since but all folded on the flop

34,500

Second hand of note-

Open Ah4h Utg to 1500 at 3/600. Folds to BB who calls (same villian as before) who calls

Flop 10s

Check I cbet 1500 he calls

Turn

Check check

River . He leads 5k

Loads of draws miss and he’s been v active. He also played a couple pots where he bet 2x pot for value so thought this could be a sizing tell.
We call and he shows 89o


Peel KhJH on the button to Utg open and bb calls

Flop x

Check round

Turn 10c

Lead 1700, call i make it 6k. Fold and a call.

River brick

All in and he folds

—————

Just lots a meh all in

Flat button with AxQc. Goes 4 ways

Flop Ax 9c8c

OR just shoves 12600

We call. He has 107dd

Turn (sigh!)

Brick the club river to lose it

Still have 38,600

So a good start but that would have taken us close to 65k

On first break now

[verndog158]

Nothing loads to report.

25min clock (got this wrong initially)  and fairly quick structure.

Few raise folds/ couple shoves through.

33k nearly going into 800/1600/1600

[verndog158]

Next break

Only real hand of note:

Raise AcQh Utg

Sb who’s been fairly quiet makes it 12k. I cover him but not by much and I’m playing 46k start of the hand.

I feel like all options I hate. We peel ?

Flop 10s

He open jams we fold

30 min break, like why so long 🥴

Have 30k going back to 1/2/2k

Spin time!! A lot it short stacks though

If bust there’s a €250 plo comp apparently. Might play that, and can include on stake for free unless people happy to take out of potential refunds.

[verndog158]

Bust

Was down to 22k at 1/2/2k

Utg min opens to 4k

We peel 97

Flop 753r

We lead shove.

He calls 98dd

Runs out 10x



Which is pretty sigh

Might play the plo in a bit. Also some cash games.

Tomorrow there’s the mystery bounty day 1b or the main 1a. Gut feeling says another bullet in the 400 mystery would be a good idea and play the main Thursday. Didn’t budget in the stake for 2x bullets but happy to add in if general consensus is?

[bagel]

in for whatever you feel like

have fun

Millions Day 2

Last night was fairly uneventful, played cash for a bit and enjoyed a few pints of Guiness. Was sat next to a guy who owns/ set up Pokerbros. Good guy and was a good vibe at the table!
Descended into a little bit of fun with the €5 button game coming in and got up to some good amounts! I won one with €115 on it!

Losing session though, same older guy won 3 all ins off me. The worst being running it twice with 99 v his K6, first board king high, second flop x66

Then got stacked off in a 1200 pot with aces where we 3b to after guy opens to 45 on a straddle

He calls

And we get it in on KQx dd (we have ace diamonds) and he has a set of queens

So not good. But means we are saving the run good for the comp today!


——

The main starts today at 1pm. But the plan is to play the €400 mystery bounty at midday with it going straight into day 2 tif we can get through. Slightly shorter clock today (20mins) but similar to yesterday.

Will play the main tomorrow I think.

Will keep you posted on hands as I go!

GL us

[verndog158]

Really quiet first few levels until….

Move table, have just under start stack.

Cut off opens to 700, he’s been playing a lot. He’s playing circa 15k

We 3b 97hh on the button to 1800

Small blind calls. He covers me. Playing a lot but fairly passively with better hands. OR calls

Flop

Check check I bet 3500.

Sb calls, cut off all in for 14k. We reshove 27k and sb tank calls too.

Cut off .
Sb

Ahead in theory but probably not on the %!

Turn x of hearts

River

So we brick brick to scoop.

77k and change with 8mins left of 200/400/400
