I finally broke through for what I consider a major score. Yesterday (or the early morning hours of today actually) we made a deal 4 way at the FT. I was chipleader and got $62.3K with a chance to play for 10k more. I think it was a good deal as 2nd place was 60k. The winner probably got 59k so I came out tops moneywise. I played too loose after the deal and was very tired. My bust hand:
SB completes
I check
Flop A59r, SB bets and I raise (holding 24510). He comes over top. Oops, now I should be folding here with bottom pair and 2nd nut lo. I tell the guy I'm tired and lets gamble and shove. He shows AK23 and I'm crushed. Turns 4 to all but end it.
Anyway, I wish I would have maintained my focus a little better. As the winner he got a WCOOP braclet and a trip to the Bahamas during PCA. Still though. Great score for me. I had my first 5 figure score the day before (10.5k) and got my 2nd the next day. So I figured I was do for another one for todays WCOOP 2.1k PLO 6max. I go to register and it shows to buy in a step 6 ticket. I completely forgot I had that (played steps a couple years ago and never used it). So that was nice to save the 2.1k buy in. That was it though. My bust hand:
15k in chips at 60/120.
UTG min raise (AmachiKK...good player)
I make PSB on button with AAKKcc. I type in chat it's time for me to 3 bet from my button on you because he had done the same to me earlier. Flop is QJ4r, I bet maybe 60% of pot and he check raises pot. Against a tighter player I would serious consider a fold. I think he is making a move on me with either air or a pair and st8 draw. I think 15 seconds and call. Turn makes it QJ45cc and he bets small for pot. Well if he had QJ he would have shoved turn no doubt, looks like a busted draw, I stick the rest in and he has to call as he is pot comitted, he tables A1094 and is 20% to win. FML, I felt I had such a good edge on this field with deep stacks that I wouldn't get it in with just a pair, no need to. It was read dependent on the guy though and I gambled. I can't be too unhappy because I was in a good position to have 300bbs and a top 30 stack. So disappointing.
Also busted the 6max 2nd chance $530 buy in.
I raise with A1075 two suit and get 3 bet from button. 4 way flop is 964hh, checks to button who makes PSB. I have up/down str8 and flush draws and decide to check raise PSB. He tanks a little and calls. Turn Jx. I make another PSB repping trips and am committed to pot. He tanks a sticks the rest in, I call and he shows AA96r. For middle two pair. Fades the river and I'm out. Fack me. I think its a terrible call on the flop by him, no redraws and I'm shoving either trips or a monster draw. As it was I'm 53% on flop so it's a race but that is his best case, otherwise he is crushed. With the turn J I shove again now he has to consider I have trips. Now he has two middle pair and no redraw and is stuck on a tough decision. Again, I would fold the turn, but some guys can't fold and his hand held. I guess any luck I used up in the PLO8 event. Wasn't my day today. I'll play the WCOOP NL PLO8 tomorrow. Should be interesting.
