I actually played some good holdem as well but was just coolered.
Cake 33 Rebuy - Late in tourn I raise QQ on button and SB reraise, I shove he tables AA for 30k pot.
PS 22 Rebuy - Mid/Late tourn, EP raiser, two flatters and I have AA in SB, I shove and folds to button who calls with AK. He flops the nizzles and I lose a 33K pot
UB 33 Rebuy - MP aggro raises and I decide to flat in position on button with AQcc and shorty in BB squeezes. Aggro reraise iso all in. Normally I fold here but because it is a particular player I call and unfortunatley he has AK.
PLO:
FTP 11 Rebuy - Playing great and running good and I limp EP+1 with AA107 double suit. Limpers all around and Lee Watkinson makes PSB from the BB, folds to me and I reraise PSB. He tanks and shoves to show QQJ9 double suit and he gets a runner runner two pair. Then, plenty of chips later I call a MP raise with KJ1010ss and we see a flop of 8,2,3 ss and he checks to me. I half pot it and he reraise. I decide to shove on him with 10s and 2nd NFD (he is aggro, a player dependent shove here). Anyway, was correct to see him table 8776 no spades. Just fade a non spade 876 (5 outs) but no!! Anyway, GG me.
UB 11 Rebuy - Took first place. Nothing to note except I got paid off a lot and people couldn't fold their draws.
OHL:
FTP 5 Rebuy - Made FT but busted 7th when my AK25cc lost to QQ108dd when he limped and I raised PSB and saw a nasty flop of J,9,6...he makes PSB. I only have 16k behind now and there is 44k in pot so I hate the flop but feel I have to call. Well, no AK or runners for a lo and I'm out.
FTP 44 OHL - Took 2nd place. Busted Scott Clements for a t-shirt in 3rd place. Then I misplayed two hands HU. First was I limp 74610hh and BB raise PSB. Flop is A,2,3cc. He min bets. I love this flop because I feel I'm freerolling. Only a 45 is a lo that beats me. Anyway I call turn is 10, he checks and I bet 12k into 27k. Well now he makes a PSB. Either he has 45 or he has strong draw/trips/aces up and doesn't think I have 45. Anyway, instead of letting it go I shove the rest and see him table AQ45. Now he has 2 to 1 chip lead on me. I chip back up to almost even and then mistake two. I limp QQ58dd and flop is 3,3,9dd and BB checks to me. Nice flop, I min bet and he reraise 5bbs. My min bet was meant to induce a raise bluff out of him but I'm torn between him raising a diamond draw/air or a 3. Well I shove and he tables J3810 for flopped trips. No Q, diamond, or running los for me and I bust 2nd. I did pick off a bluff earlier against this guy and that is what made me more inclined to go with these two hands I mentioned. Well, my mistake, hopefully lesson learned.
PS 5 Rebuy - Crowning achievment of the day. Beat 441 runners out for the 1.2k and first place. I made one HUGE bluff with 50 or so left. I raise A1082 and the table bully (only guy who has me covered) defends from his blind. He always defends and plays aggresive from wherever his position is. Anyway, flop is Q,10,3dd and he leads 2/3 pot. I have middle pair and back door lo draw. I call and turn is 3. He makes 2/3 pot again quickly and I call again. River is 3. Now I'm playing A10 and the board 3s. He makes big bet 46k. So 150k approx in pot and I have 100K behind, If I shove the pot will be 250k and only 50k for him to call. I don't know if he realizes that and I don't think he is very good. Also, I may have just counterfit his Q or he was betting a st8 or flush draw that never got there. So I shove and he thinks for a few seconds a folds. Tempted to show my hand but not a good idea to do that. I may have had best hand. But I wanted to fold out small ppair and better A's. Anyway, I played well enough and got HU and AIPF with KK75dd vs AQ32cc and I scooped the guy for first!
No poker tomorrow, my girlfriend and I celebrate our 10th (yikes!) anniversary dating. Time for a fancy dinner/that type of stuff.
GL all.
