Redemption (sort of)
Played another 20 rebuy tonight at casino, 90 something runners.
Came 12th, won't give whole story but will describe a few key hands at critical times.
1) 55 getting short stacked i raise in late,BB calls. Flop 2 3 6. He taps me, I think for a bit and call him. I figure if he had stronger then 55 pre flop he would have moved me in, so I rule out the overpair. He is capable of holding a 6, and I reckoned there was a 30% chance he was holding a 6. I call, he has 3h4h. I win.
2) AK beats 8 8 .
3) 2 tables left , I raise with Ad9d in early (prolly not wise eh) and someone who i consider tight goes all in, I am laid something in the region of 12-1 and call. He has 88 , and I lose.
4) I get 10 K os in late, 3 limpers, I move all in . I felt this was a very bold move, If i won without contest I would nearly have doubled up (without any callers!) and didn't think any of them were particularly strong especially this close to the final. A loose guy in late thinks for ages. I chat shit to him like he does to everyone. "26,000 is too much for you mate." He had 74000, but he was getting good odds in that spot. He passes and shows A 10os. I flip over 10 K and win an all in against the BB who was all in form the BB with 10 2. I win that, An ace came on the turn too :).
5) I have A 10os in bb, small blind who is the loose shit talking twat, raises the pot basically tapping me. Heres the interesting thing, I saw his cards! He had 55. I had 8000 in, and had an additional 31,000 I think, I wasnt the shortest stack at all and maybe this move was unwise when I usually dont like 50-50s but I wanted to have a good chance of winning not surviving. I lost the race and busted out in 12th. Basically the bubble isnt it.
Thinking back I prolly should have passed, good tournament strategy would be to pass there so close to the final. But apart from the last hand I am very happy with my play tonight, granted I won no money....somethings are more important. I didnt get that great cards, made some nice bluffs and good folds too and played alot better then my previous few tourneys..Defo good preperation for the tourney I do on Sunday.
