Sunday MTT Report


4 MTTs excluding fees were $300 , $500, 150euros and 50euro rebuy (effectively 150euros)
.
$500 started ok but folded AK to raise, reraise and allin halfstack b4 me a few levels in. was only 10s vs QQs so wish i had gambled as straight hit river too. I then lost QQ vs AK vs same guy that had that QQ and was left 40% of stack. Got back in a bit then lost bit being reraised before shoving 10xbb or sommat as level had gone up with Axstd to run into tightest player at tables AK
.
150euro game was sluggish for ages but didnt lose patience. Eventually hit a few hands as its total fish tourney u always get paid off and my stack went up nicely. Then came a nasty exit which would have put me top 10 with half of the 650ish entrants left. raise mid AQ and get 2 callers 1 behind. flop AJ3 2 hearts , i continue bet bout 1/2 pot and guy bhind huge stack covering me (i hav a big stack already obv) flats me almost instantly which i knew was weak and big draw at best. Other guy shoves in but only 70% of my orginal bet more so i couldnt isolate. Turn is a 7 and im left with like 6800 and 8500ish in the pot. I have to stick it in and idiot behind me has A7. Miss my 6 outs and im gone (other guy had missed flush draw).
.
50euro rebuy was sluggish at first too but similarly just waited for hands and was nearly always paid off nicely. Crucial hand was annoying as hell too as had average or better stack i think. Basically raised from cutoff to 1200 at 200/400 with chunky ante. BB only playing 8000odd flats me. I cant fold on a K24 flop when he chkraises me and his trappy call AK dominated my KQ. Such a bad call should be reraising pre with that stack imo. Sick flop too :( Anyways left with 2000 odd my 77 wasnt good enough for KJ utg+1 limper and i bust couple hands later.
.
$300 topped if off really. Cant complain bout start as raised with JJ and got J10x flop vs 10s. From there on i think i was only allin, called and almost covered once 99 vs A8 which held. Then approaching the bubble i knew a hijack raise was weak (guy had been on my table from start and folded all time to reraises too) so reraised with A10std but sb shoved allin for 35k odd. My reraise was 9500 and i almost had pot odds if he was on a KK type hand but being near the bubble and i knew it wasnt quite pot odds i let it go. Next hand i make a marginal K10off shove for 9xbb from cutoff only to be looked up by A3std in the bb (for almost half his stack) and i miss and go out 107th / 800odd with 100 paid sick as a parrot. Annoyed as lowest of my range there was K10 if i consider QJ to b better to shove with and i know i was folding nething below this so mad at being looked up by A3 nutcase.
.
Anyways cashwise had a bloody nightmare on hi lo yesterday. First time in ages top end stakes were goin and i got donked off all over shop. Fortunately got a bit back tonight and more than covered the entrance fees above but still annoyed to lose about £3,000 yesterday. Aint a lot in respect for me but ive been on lower stakes all week partly to grind and partly cos of this flu thing and had basically won that through hours and hours of play. I know i dont post omaha or hi lo history much but this one took the biscuit so i will put the details below:
.
5/10 omaha hi lo pl hu vs a regular that normally doesnt play me hu (also the **** left after this pot having only played about 8hands, i exploded and followed him around hurling the most abusive language i think ive used all year but thats another story)
.
Im bb and first to act postflop. preflop he makes it 30 and i pot it to 90 with AAK4 with 1 suit not relevant. Flop comes K94 rainbow and i bet 140 into 180 which he flat calls. Turn is 8 which is a 2nd spade. I bet pot 460 and he reraises allin for about another 800. I instant call and he has AsQx3s8x. 8x hits river and he scoops roughly $2,500 pot. Dont care about the outdraw but WTF is this guy thinking flat calling the K94 flop with AQ83. He is really really tight abc player normally full ring but i know we have history in chatbox so obviously it had effected his play on this instance but sickly was rewarded.
.
On a positive note i aint in as bad a mood as i might sound from above and should hopefully make it to Cardiff this week as feel a lot better than a week ago.
