Well, it was a successful weekend. I took 4th in the Cereus 163$ OHL Deepstack. Disappointing as at one point I had 200k 1st and 2nd was 160k, 3rd 100k, 4th 80k. Then this happened.
UTG minraises and I call from BB with AJ104hh. Flop is AQ9 rainbow and I check to him. He makes 2/3 pot bet. Now I could be ahead here if he is raising Ax baby but I think he would have checked behind based on his style so I'm drawing to the K or 8. If he has AK AQ I think I can get paid off. Turn makes the board AQ96hh now giving me NFD along with up/down st8 and top pair. He has about a PSB left so I decide to push it since I'm going to call it anyway. He calls with QQxx and holds. I probably could have folded flop but it was a tough turn to get away from and I don't know if I made the right play. I was 35% to scoop on turn and PSB are always giving you 2 to 1. So in that sense I guess the turn play was fine but maybe a fold to his strong bet on the flop. Anyway, then I made two bad plays after that (my only major mistakes of tourn) and bust in 4th.
I took first in the PS NOHL Rebuy without even rebuying which is almost impossible to do but I doubled up once, twice, thrice and never looked back. I took first in the FTP OHL Rebuy so those two got me 1300 on a 15 dollar investment. My holdem tourn didn't go so well. FT bubbled the Cereus 33$ NL Rebuy so that was disappointing. But, anytime I'm making money I'll take it. Gl all, I'm not doing this blog as much because I'm doing a more frequent one on my dog and his cancer.
