Well....let's see. Yesterday was pretty good. I won a Stars NOHL Rebuy and came in 4th in the UB 33 Rebuy. I was chip leader when a key hand came up in that. 6 handed UTG min raises....now, this guy is raising like 24% at FT so I figure 77 is ahead most of the time here. I could just call and play in position, but I'd rather raise him and just take the pot, there aren't that many good flops for 77. So I 3x him and SB shoves. UTG insta folds and its on me. I put 24k in and the pot with the shove is 100k and its 40k to call. I'm getting 2.5 to 1 which is great odds but this guy has to have a higher pair, maybe AK, AQs. So I almost fold but decide to play the math and he tables KK. I still don't know if I made the right call or not.
Today I donked it up. Starting with the FTP 75 6 Max. I register late and my 2nd hand I complete with AQo in SB. Flop comes A,8,9 rainbow and I check, BB checks and one MP limper bets pot of 90 into 90. I see that he is already down to 2500 from the 3k stack. So what is he betting pot with. I put him on one pair, J10, air, or bottom 2 and he is playing them fast. Since I'm ahead of that range. I raise it up to 270, he calls fairly quickly and turn is 4 rainbow. I bet 400 into 570 for value and he min raises me...what? I think he is feeling it out and has an ace. I insta shove and he insta calls with AKo. Well I would have folded to SB there in an unraised pot with no history on the guy with just top pair. But again I don't know this guy so who knows if he can fold a hand or not. I could have checked called down for pot control but it seems like I should be building pot for value.
Then, I played well in most of my tourns but once I made ITM I started getting really reckless and blew some nice chip stacks. I busted out 10th in Cake OHL Rebuy, 8th in FTP OHL Rebuy, 18th in FTP PLO KO. And Final two tables in FTP PLO Rebuy. So, I don't know. Lots of deep runs I'm doing something right just couldn't seal the deal today. And I think maybe I should care about moving up a little bit ITM but I'm pretty reckless in trying to accumulate chips going for 1st. Boom or bust and today was bust.
I got a DELL 30" Monitor and used it for the first time today. Was able to keep all my games on the one monitor but I'm not used to it yet. I'll give it a week.
