AIPS, AIPS 2nd Chance and Mookie Recaps

Excuse my typos and spell check hates me right now.

I guess I will start with the easiest one first. I did not last too long in the Mookie. Early on I called a raise with A8 soooted and check called a AXX flop. Turn A and it goes check check. River Q and I snap call a bet only to see AK. Shortly after that I 3bet with JJ and flop comes K10X. I get donk bet into and call but have to fold to a bet on the turn that essentially put me all-in. My last hand I 3bet shoved JJ and ran into the raisers AA and I was out early in the first hour.

AIPS second chance event went pretty good. I came in with the game plan of building early or busting. The former happened. Once I had a stack built I pressured about 80% of the pots. When I had it they called and when I didn't they folded. Even the times when I had just 3 high cards I would either pair up on 4th or my board started to look so scary (along with my opponents bricks) that I won the pot right there. When we were about 6 handed at the FT I had over 10k with my next highest opponent around 4k and everyone else was short. Starting heads-up I had about a 3:1 chip lead over Zerkaboid but it quickly evaporated. I was able to get back to close to even a couple times before we finally chopped it.

AIPS Event #3, Stud was an interesting affair. There were 98 runners, far less than Gambit's and Zorag's predictions like I knew it would be. Top 16 paid and we started with 2500 chips, 15 munute levels and starting at 25/50. I think this was a fantastic structure. The early levels actually meant something.

Early on I went with the mindset of gambling it up a little more than usual. Nice table draw right away. The tourney was ripe with donkeys but I pull an opening table that included Blazman and loser64. Shortly after the late registration was up Snarf was moved to our table. Four people who actually know how to play. Epic table draw fail. After about 15 hands I was all the way down to 1850. I found opponents who couldn't find the fold button when they held a low pair and would catch the 2nd pair on 7th. Shortly after that it would turn around for me.

Not exactly what I was shooting for but I will take it. The pot was a decent one since so many saw 5th street. I shipped up slightly over the rest of the first hour and held a 3200 stack heading into the break. I was able to build up my stack in level 5 and then I ran a failed bluff into loser64:

Didn't work too well. I was trying to rep exactly what Jerry had in the hole. Fail. I was down to 2200 or about 5bb's after the hand. I was able to win a few pots after that uncontested after 5th street and slowly build back up until I ruckboxed in this one and got the double-up I needed:

After that hand I was in better shape headed to the second break. There were around 32 people left so I had to survive 16 more spots for the money and the cash. As we reached the bubble I was able to build myself back to 8200 when I played this hand.

I was able to find the fold button. Based on his comments after I am pretty sure he had the flush already on 5th. He mentioned in chat that he thought I was pot committed. Later on the bubble I had buried jacks and won the hand on 4th street to keep me alive and find my way into the money. After the bubble burst I won a few more hands and worked my stack up to 10k when the bustout hand occurred:

I don't think I can fold anywhere in the hand, especially after I hit the second pair on 4th street. He had a lot of chips and could have had the naked queens in that spot. I busted in 15th for a min-cash and a few POY points.
