managed to get past day 1 with an OK stack. ended the day just short of 30k. blinds 300/600/?. I forget what the ante is but I think it's 50. So right around 50 big blinds. I'm feeling pretty good about my play and I think I only made one real mistake throughout the entire day which I'm very happy about as 1) It's the first time I've ever played for 13 hours straight, 2) It's been awhile since I played live.
Wasn't too many notable flops. The big issue was that nobody on the table busted. My table actually seemed REALLY tough. Not that everyone was a crazy aggro sicko or anything, but that my table was all relatively tight, and donkish in the ways that keep someone in a tournament for a long time (if that makes sense). I managed to get a sicko looking image running really hot preflop and taking down a lot of pots with a reraise before the flop. I hadn't really spoken much so at this point the table started cracking jokes that I "must be Scandinavian"
Kind of sucked for my image. I had an average stack when a ~10k super aggro semi shorty called my SB raise (he was in the BB) while I held KJo. I checked a KT4 flop hoping to get in a check raise, but he checked back. The turn was a J and I checked again. He overbet shoved all in, and I called fairly quickly to be shown Q6 suited. He binked a 9 and I was set down to 13k or so.
I stole blinds up to about 17k or so, and eventually got in a button/blind war with a solid aggressive player who I assume is a tournament pro (and I wouldn't be surprised if he was a name one, pocketfives goons kept snapping photos of him all day). My AK spades to his QQ. Board came 9-5-5-9 but I binked the A on the river to bust him out and double up. Traded blinds around and the day ended with me at just under 30k.
I think I played really well considering the skill level of the table. People were stealing and restealing constantly. It was honestly a lot tougher than a standard online tournament, IMO.
Anyways, I'm getting some rest and just trying to focus on playing my best going into Day 2.
Cheers,
Nolan
