£30 Pot Limit Rebuy
59 Runners, Pot Limit hold em.
I entered this comp in good spirits, despite coming 17th,15th and 8th in my last 3 competitions which was quite frustrating. 2,000 starting stack bb $100, encourages loose and fast action this tournament - but I aint rich enough yet to gamble too much so I sat tight during rebuy period, rebought once after losing JJ vs A5 and added on leaving myself $7.5k at the break.
Post rebuy things didn't kick off too well, after 2 limpers I limped in late cutoff with 10c-7c, and a ss in sb pushed for $1,200 more. They all folded to me (bb $400) and with attractive pot odds, i called. He turned over As6s and won leaving me down like 1.6k already.
I steadily increased though and won a nice pot in bb with 9-4 when flop came 9 9 K, and some woman had KQ and doubled me up. Then I made my biggest move in a while in live, a young lad who limps alot called from utg, I looked down in early/mid ish and saw Kh 8h, and riased to $2,100 with bb $600. Villian just calls. Flop 6-7-10, he bets out for like $600, I make it $2,600 he mutters "what the hell" and calls. Turn comes 7, he bets $3,000 and after a bit of thought decide to push all in for 8k I think. He folds , I show Kh. After that , my confidence grew and despite not finding any "premium " hands, I won alot of pots in position, raising a bit and takin it down post flop.
I got moved and steadily increased to about $28,000 when with 21 people left, I found Ah7h in sb and they all folded to me. I had a tight asian guy in bb , but what it did it matter ? BB was $2,000 So I raised the pot and he moved all in for $5k more. I had to call and was upset to see I walked into 10 10. He won and im left with $14,500. I won when in bb, and then some interesting hands came.
This new middle aged guy had riased 2 pots in a row and came in on the 3rd from ep,I am ss (bb $3k) and found AsJs,I studied him and decided to pass, he showed A-A. Then again dodged when he had 6-6 and again my AJ would have lost when a fellow ss took his A9 vs the raisers 6-6.
Then i busted out, K-8 on button , they fold to me , two tight guys in blinds , and bb $3k , I riased pot to $10,500 , villian in sb re riases all in and I call for pot odds. He flips up AK , and I am walking out of the casino with another last 2 table finish and no $$$.
I feel I am playing my best at the moment, but soon as its far into a comp, luck and bad timing are against me....Skill can take you so far when blinds are small, but you have to win a showdown sometime and get a hand. Might take a break and hit cash tables before my next comp....Sigh
