notts report
I went back to nottingham to get away for a day or 2 and play a mtt at the gala. Yesterday i done both sunday comps , the 30 Freezeout and the 30 Pl rebuy in the evening. The freezeout didnt boast a very nice structure really but I was doin it for fun mainly, i knew it wasnt going to be at all lucrative cashes and with a pretty weak field imo, i felt if i could last past the first hour or 2, I would most prolly final. Anyway, aelred and me started on same table and I decided to just see what the table was like and not be too crazy early on.
I didnt pick up many nhs early on , I limped once or twice with K 10 and such , missed and passed to a bet in what would frequently be a 4 person minimum flop. I lost 600 of my original 5,000 when I min raised a 36 suited and failed to connect on a flop, bluffed a wee bit on turn and got called by 2, both checking river and losing obviously.
Then, hour in or so, and my stack is not looking to impressive, i find KJos, utg, and decided to shove it all in, i know its a courageous act with what is a marginal hand, but with blinds going up and me in big next hand i felt it was the correct play, i picked up a caller in the form of AJs ,and luckily hit my K. Then Aelred busted out with 55 on a board of 7KK.
20 mins later i doubled thro another nice stack with JJ vs his AJ, and was gaining momentum, shortly we were down to 2 tables and i busted out around 14th with A4 vs A5 , I lost a nice pot when i brtought it in for a rase with 4s, and flop J 9 7 , i shoved in the short stack who unorfunately had trip 9s.
Later on I done the 30 pl rebuy, and was punished for jus limpin 99 utg psot rebuy and lost 3,000 on flop of my 8,000 when i had to release them on a 8 hi flop, ( i would have runnered 10 hi straight and tripled thro), then i busted out with 33 vs 10 J. Cant really comment too much on my plays over the 2 tourneys, I certainly didnt play my best but in these structure of tourneys, you kind of have to get lucky early on , I think If i played a conservative approach in the 30 f/o i would have certainly finalled as i had around 25,000 before the 44 hand and was in good stead for the final as i was in 2nd pos on my table, however I wasnt concerned with finalling in this comp , i really was playing for a high finish, and 44 short handed is well worth raising.
When I go back home , i will defo play stronger , this trip was kind of a wake up call for me, dont let your guard down.
