Newcastle Fun

Having a great time up here so far. Only mistake i made was being bit impatient in the £220 freezeout Wed night when i was prob sitting with 3 or 4th biggest stack with 30 left of the 120 entrants. Mind you i did lose a 54% pot odds key pot before busting on a massive pot where i raised with AK and mateys 34std was far to good on a 933 board , pot too big to fold post flop.

As for main event ive made day 2 and leave for casino in 20 minutes so cant go into much detail on here really. Got 43,800 chips, blinds are 400/800 ante 50 and average is around 30,000. Was great fun yesterday as had Roberto Romanello on my table 2 to my right. He was playing like a maniac and dominating most of the table. I knew i had to sit tight and pick my spots and my patience got rewarded eventually with a couple of flops hit hard in the later levels and fully paid off. My peak stack was 50,000 but i didnt get involved too much towards the end as i went a bit raggy and it was often 10 handed which made it much more dodgy to do anything "silly". Do feel like im freerolling today as at one stage yesterday i was down to 8000 at 200/400 blinds before ordering a lager top and watching my fortunes change dramatically shortly afterwards !

Anyway sounds better than it is as theres still 1/3 of the field left and loads more luck and play involved yet. 18 get paid i think but aint really bothered bout 11th/18th payouts as wont be anything big compared to buy in.

Oh go on then couple of hands yesterday, i cant resist.
Smallest Pot of Day
JJ limp 200 utg, utg+1 playing 9000 makes it 1600 and cutoff moves allin 2100. Easy pass as utg+2 is v v tight and AK at worst. It was QQ vs 99 but still felt great to only lose 200.

Biggest Pot of Day:
300/600 bb, cutoff makes it 1800 and i call with 77. Flop is 7,9,10 with 2 clubs and i lead weakish for 3200. He makes it 10,500 and i move in pretty sure he will put me on a draw. He call fairly quickly for another 10,000ish and shows A10. Turn 10, river blank
