Last night was the start of Season IX of the Pokerslut Tour. Congrats to my fellow Corporation members who also cashed in 3rd and 5th. No, I will not be calling you assclowns.
The game was NLHE Double stack. I chipped up to around 4000 early and hung there for a while. With 14 left I got involved in a hand with Fasso. I had A,10 in one of the blinds and called a 3x raise from Fasso. Flop comes A,J,x and I check call a 2/3 pot bet. The turn was a 10. I lead out for around a 1/2 - 2/3 pot bet and he called behind. The river was a K bringing a 4-liner straight. He shoves for his last 1500 which was a 1/2 pot sized bet. I know he was been increasing his aggression lately. The way the hand was net didn't smell like there was a J in his hand. I called and my 2 pair was good against Ace rag. I guessing he had me on the same type hand and if he shoved he could get me off of the hand, and if not, it would be a chopped pot. Right?
After that hand I had around 7000 and played pretty snug till the final table. When the final table started I had 6600 or so in chips. I ended up increasing my stack to 10k by not playing a pot past the flop and never having to show my hands. I was making standard 2.5x raises and was not getting looked up. I was picking up hands including Aces twice. I'm suprised I never got played back at though. With 6 left I picked up J,J in the bb when the SB shoved with A,somehting. My hand held and I had 14k.
Playing from 5 handed to 3 handed was a lot of chip trading. I can't remember but I must ahve knocked 5th and/or 4th out cause when we got to 3 handed I had a good lead. I was able to put more pressure on and when Zooks was knocked out in 3rd I had a 4.5:1 lead. Wisco Left doubled through me once when A,3<9,3. After the hand I typed in chat "just die already". He didn't take it too well. Sorry about that, was just being funny. The last hand of the tourney i picked up Jacks and called a shove. He had K,x and it was over. Guess I will try to win it this year. After I bust out early in the next two I can quit though :)
You can "try" to win.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were so sensitive. I'll be more glowing of your incredible skill and amazing talents from now on.
I dunno, I'd be calling us assclowns.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin.
