Poque
Well ,since last post I havent really put in any online time, I went to nottingham for 2 nights played a 50 triplle chance which i finished like 13th followed by a 20 rebuy which I happily came 2nd/70 runners.
Me and Aelred both finalled , he came 5th, so we won 1,460 and cos of me "staking " him actually took 1360 of it, so thankfully I came away from the trip with some nice profit for which has made for a nice change.
I felt I played well, I really didnt catch many cards over the nights but still,cos its rebuy you can get out of the rebuy quite deep so it wasnt just all all all.
One hand that propelled my stack was a hand where i had A J and co raised , (blinds were quite big at this point) , i had a marginal situation as all 3 options were very viable, I chose to re raise all in , and he was quite committed , and called with A 10s, fortunatley i held and doubled up pretty much. I got it in a wee bit later with KK vs KQ which was nice. however 1 till the final my stack deminished somewhat and i headed to the final with only $47,000 , 532,000 in play. So i was in about 8th place. I played quite patient on the final table and a steal and few resteals built my stack handsomely. I kinda snuck into heads up aas i was the short stack, going into heads up i had 55,000 to his 500 or so. We raised pot every hand from sb, and finally i called with A 10, but his 89 paired up and i was gone. Still 2nd that night was maybe my strongest live result with respect to the quality of my cards ( which is quite key in one off mtts).
Anyway, I'm up for the week but down online cos of the odd rebuy that ive played half heartedly. Last night for instance i played the $10 rebuy on stars, and fell asleep 10 mins post rebuy , despited having over 21,000 chips I fell asleep! I checked this morning and i still came 189th lol out of 1400 .
Less expenses for the trip and loss to my account on stars my profit for the week isnt great but still , profit is profit.
Weeks winnings - 850 / $1570
