$30+3, $50,000 Guaranteed NL Hold'em--pokerroom.com
We just finoished the rebuy period. I'm in 42nd place with $9290, so I didn't rebuy.
There's a guy directly across the table from me named chuckwheat who I managed to bust 2 hands in a row. Here's how they went down:
Me--54 off, big blind. chuckwheat comes in for the minimum (100) and the small blind calls. 3 way pot. The flop is 992, and the small blind checks. I decide to attack the short stack, and bet 500. (He has 4-something) Chuckwheat calls me all-in, small blind folds.
chuckie turns over jj, and I turn a 3, for an open-ended straight draw, and river a 6! Sorry, chuckie.
He rebuys, and next hand I have k8 in the small blind. The flop is kk7, and I bet 500 on the flop, as if I'm going for the same steal. (Chuck called & the bb checked pf) The bb folds and Chuck calls. The turn is another 7, so I fill up. I check, to act like I'd been on a steal, and chuck checks behind me. The river is a six, and I bet 900, knowing that Chuckie doesn't want to soldier on with a short stack when he could rebuy (he has 900 out of his 1500 rebuy). Chuckie calls, loses, and rebuys.
Ugh, alot of good play, but my qq ran into aa, and I busted out a bit later in 97th place, out of 899. Top 90 got paid. I can't really complain though, because in the last 3 days that I've played I've made 3 final tables, finishing 9th, 5th, and 5th. i've run $100 up to over $500, though I'm down to $446 after that $30 buy-in. I suppose I shoud've tried a little bit harder to make the $$, but I don't seem to be having much trouble with these big tournaments lately. That and I've done really well at PLO sit&goes the last few days, which is strange, since I've never played much Omaha at all. My basic strategy has been to see alot of flops, and hope that the big implied odds make up for my far-too-loose play. I suspect that this can't be quite right, but it's been working.
Must close, just finished in the money in a NL Turbo tournament, after the blinds ate 2/3 of my stack, and my qt made two pair, but lost to a ten hi straight. Ugh.
Oh, saw chuckie again during the Turbo, when I had $21,000 and he had $3000, about the size of the big blind. Refrained from calling him my bitch.
