CAUTION, THIS WILL BE A LONG READ, PLEASE COMMENT WITH YOUR THOUGHTS AFTERWARDS

Went back to my local casino (Empire Casino from last blog) to compete in the same rebuy tourny.

Tourny Stats:

Pla<x>yers = 54
Prize Pool = $3,000
Rebuys = 40+
Addons = 36

The very first hand a guy raised for 75 to go, and this asian girl (looked like Evelyn Ng... so fit!) reraised like 300+ more. He looked there in shock and flashed his Q-Q before folding. Great fold.

I played very tight at the start and noticed they made improvements that i was happy with, they changed the blinds to 25/25 to start with, so thats good having 40BB which is around standard i guess.

After about 17-20 hands of not catching anything decent, i got annoyed and raised UTG with K-7dd. Luckily no one called respecting me being tight and i took it down.

Now a few hands later i got 5-5. I raised MP and got 1 caller 2 seats to my right. Board comes 6-6-3 so i go all-in for the remainder 700 knowing i probably have the best hand and put him on over cards. The moron called with K-T suited, which gave him a spade flush draw and 2 overcards... he caught the K on river and i rebought.

The VERY next hand i looked down at 3-3 on the SB and called the extra 100 with 3 other limpers including BB who checked. Board come 3-6-8 and i pushed all-in for 800. And amazingly enough all 3 of them call, and i end up winning 3k from them plus my 1k i started with.

Few hands later i have J-J UTG and raise to 600, she calls and board comes A-A-5, i thought it was unlikely she had the A, she checked and i bet size of pot and she folded.

BREAK WITH 4600 CHIPS, BLINDS GOING TO 150-300

I had to move tables to see this amazing stack of 500 chips 2 seats to my right, and he had over 12k from what i could count, easily dominating the table.

I looked down at A-Q from the SB and raised it to 900. A guy in BB to my left pushed all-in for his remainder 2500+, i reluctantly showed and folded, and he showed me his 9-9. I got very annoyed with myself, i think i should have called because he may of thought i was stealing and because i just joined table, i had no idea how he played... but what do you all think?

So with 3700 i looked down at the BB with 6-3os and checked with the SB who had less than me by a small amount. Board come 1-5-4 giving me an OESD, he bet a weak amount, like half the pot and i pushed all-in and he folded.

Few hands later i got KQos and limped from SB vs the BB. Board come J-T-2, giving me another OESD. We both check with turn coming 7, both check and river coming 2. I thought about it and bet 1000 on a bluff, making it look like i checked bottom pair and got lucky. To my surprise he moved all-in and i had to fold, him showing 8-2 lmfao!

So with blinds being 200-400 and my stack of 3400 or so, i decided to make a stand 2 hands before they come round to me with A-9ss suited. The Chip leader with his monster stack, called with K-5dd suited... stupid moron. To my disgust board come K-3-9 straight away, and i couldnt catch a back door flush or my A or another 9 leaving me out in 32nd place.

Wow you didnt call with aq hu for another 1.8k or so. WTF aq is likely the best hand 40% of the time, 10% dominated and 50% race. How the hell you fold in the spot. I am so confuse.

You could go a little easier? If you read closely you would have seen that i was annoyed with my AQ fold.

Another bad mistake i made was limping in SB with the KQ, deff should have raised, and deff shoulda bet the flop , if he calls then obviously check/fold if i didnt hit.
