An Animal Abroad

[animalpoker]

1st hand back from break
I limp utg with AA34J 1 suit but no one bites
4 to a flop is 10h 3 h
Pot 20k
I bet 12k, just bb calls
Turn is that again
He check tank folds to my 32k with the naked ace hearts

Lose a little next hand but prob got out cheap  - 189k left .

[animalpoker]

Ouch
Table serial caller from before flats my 9k in his 4k bb
Flop is 863xxss
I have AA864 no spades
He check calls 1/2 pot of 12k
Turn is a
He check raises all in and actually had a genuine hand this time
A4 with spades and 3 high cards
Need a 8 or 6 for 3/4 but it’s a queen river

120k left

This madness is actually becoming fun

52 left ( pays 38 reminder )
Average 164k

[animalpoker]

Quartered again in a strange pot but not my whole stack thankfully
Raise utg with A33510 1 suit
Just bb flats the 10k ( 5k bb )
Board runs out Q82xdd , Kx
He check calls 28k pot on the river
But turns over A2K56 with king high diamonds !
This is the guy I mentioned earlier who is cocky and won the aces vs aces with a rude celebration
Down to 105k but blinds just gone through me so 90k now

[animalpoker]

48 left
We break table next if I survive to 40 left

Pays 38

Blinds just through me so only 77k now

Time to be lucky - don’t really wanna blind out

8 mins left of 3/5/5 then it’s 3/6/6 costing 18k a round to fold

Edit - 47 left

[animalpoker]

Back to 100k
My bb 3 limps and sb top up
I have 4 diamonds in hand but the flop is
J83 rainbow - I now have 3 pair and a 2 7 low
Pot 36k , all fold

2 hands later I raise the button playing 95k with
A25Q8 double suited
Bb Gillian from earlier - you know that any cards one with that spades flush repots it
There’s 44 players left , if I fold I’m on 81k but I’m never folding .

He’s just re raised utg +1 when a 45k stack pot raised commuting his stack utg.
He only had AQ827 with 3 of 1 suit that time but busted mateys AK23x.

They go in but he has
AA35J one suit
Board gives me huge hope when it’s 10,6,2 with 2 of my suit
But it bricks JJ and I’m out in 44th
No regrets

Good game

Thanks for updates

So no gym today
A decent sleep until noon
Watched the England game from my room
And now I’m 10 mins into what will be my last WSOP tournament
$1,500 Omaha Mix
Games change every 8 hands
Omaha 8 (limit)
Plo8
Big O

One of my favourite tournaments since they introduced it ? less than 10 years ago

Starting stack of 25k
Already had a big O nasty lay down and was down to 22.1k as I write this .  Back to 23k then another 800 gone folding but low draw mid pair to an obviously better huge draw on the flop

Loving every hand , love this tournament so much

Not sure if I’ll post often or just at breaks

Not tired at all for a change

[animalpoker]

Back to starting stack after pulling in a few in limit and getting this nice one at the end of big O

Min raise to 400 from tight old chap utg
I flat 23368 2 suits
Flop is A810 2 hearts - not my suit
He bets 600 into 1300 and just I call
Turn is making the flush ( that pesky from yesterday )
He check calls 1400 .  River is a Jx.
He check tank folds to a pot bet

[animalpoker]

Starting stack 25k 1st break
Nobody being too splashy or out of line so not the easiest table to accumulate large chunks of chips on
I’ve had zero coffee today , that’s how well I slept .  Probably break that later .

[animalpoker]

Ok we are up and running after a proper tough call
Utg makes it 800 to go and after 2 callers I call from sb with the speculative
KK788 2 suits   , bb also calls. 

Flop is K,10,5 rainbow
Out of position with no flush draws and no redraws I check
All check , turn is putting 2 out there .
I still check as not loving it
Old chap tight not been out of line at all announced pot - I decide to just call with an awkward amount left if I pot it .
I’m putting him on a A2 nut diamonds prob with a low end straight draw type hand
Pot is 4300
River is Jx
I check and this time he bets 10k ,  not instantly but fairly quickly , most importantly in pure silence.

I go into tank for over 1 minute - it’s 10k for the 22.9k but I’m left on under 10k if I’m wrong with my gut read here

I make the call and he turns over AAJ68 with nut diamonds

Pull in another couple nice pots since too

Just under 50k stack .

[animalpoker]

Big blind special of all specials
It’s 300/600 blinds in limit
I have 7,8,9,10 rainbow
4 limpers
Flop 10,8,6 xcc
Bet and 3 callers
Turn 9 , I’m not checking .  Bet and 2 calls of 1200
River is a club , but the
Bet and 1 call

Up to 60k after that and pulled another 5k in after that in big O
With AAQ37 on Q25xhh flop .  Only had naked ace of hearts and happy to take down on flop or play for their stacks on turn if get any of the 3 to call . 

[animalpoker]

7 mins until 2nd break
62k

Edit .  Big limit pot AA28 3 way runs out well.
76.5k

Edit last hand b4 break bust one player for another 10k addition in limit

Edit corona magic started just before first edit

[animalpoker]

Get 3/4 against other Brit at table after a favourable flop and run out in big O
Then few hands later I take the rest of his 10k with my awful aces vs AK102x

Pulled in small one after and hit the magic 100k mark

731 entrants so far

Registration open for another 2 levels

Just about to start level 8 with blinds of
300/500/500 pot limit
500/1000 1000/2000 limit
Level 9 repeats the same blinds

[animalpoker]

Nothing over exciting to report
Floated between 100 and 110k since the last post
Corona number 2

24 mins left at the double level blinds

Might do a speed walk to the room for the other half of my Footlong tuna I left in the fridge at next break

Certainly won’t be rebuying in this one

819 entrants so far

Edit …106k next break unless I play next hand

[animalpoker]

My first big loss of the day
2 limps at 600 and I make it 3000 with
AAxc 345ddd
2 limps call
Pot 10.5k
10,7,3 2 clubs
I bet 6400 and just Asian guy flats , he only has 14,700 behind
Turn is a 7x , looks good
Check I bet his stack
He tank calls
And shows what would have been a big favourite on the flop
A2J89 with back door spades
River 8 - meh
53k pot a goner
High club turn would have been interesting considering he seriously considered folding on turn big time

Down to 81k - still obviously a great stack
Prize pool should be announced soon

Table just got tougher with pro from a week or 2 ago and another likely decent pro replacing the last 2 busts
