Back Home
Just got back home from nottingham , i went down on sunday to do the 200 Freezeout, 100 runners , 20k in the pool and a nice structure .
I played quite tight early on , but managed to steadily increase my stack, up to $16,000 from my original 10 within a 1hr , after i won a nice pot with 77 and another with A Qc . It was a long tournament and mostly my pots were won from letting people hang themselves on the river, mainly it was me being cautious checking a hand like top pair weak kicker or mid pair , but i made some nice calls and picked off their bluffs well which really gave me confidence that my reads were right. I wasnt feeling well but i plugged on and as we reached the final 2 tables i was sitting pretty on around $110,000 then i lost the followin pot. Blinds $2/$4k , they pass to me in the sb, and i find 10 8, i am aware the bb is very tight and maybe is trying to final to get some money, and he only has around 19,000 so i raise to 10,000 when he re riases all in for 9k more,i realise i am getting 3-1 and call, he flips up K J ,i pair the 8 bnut he turns the king and i lose my first all in pre flop situation.
Then blinds go up, and i cant make too many moves without committing myself to the pot, so i sit tight and get dealt trash for 2 hours straight when i make the final table with 76,000 and blinds 4/8k, i go 2 rounds and one exit on my table before i find A Q ep, and $52,000 infront of me and i push , the sb finds AA and im gone.
200 buy in , 490 back, not a great cash really , typical of my online play lately, where i consistently finish 11th,12th etc, in big mtts where really the nice money is. This tournament paid 8,000 for first ! So im obviously a wee disapointed but at the same time ifelt it was the best ive played in a long time live, and i certainly have taken a liking to the deep stacks and slow structure.
Now im back, i have deposited $800 on stars and have decided that, this is it, im gonna hit the cash tables just $1/2 to begin with, and every sunday , withdraw surplus over $800, time for me to get my head straight and start making some money again.
I ll post my results on sunday to see where im at.
