So my girl, zaragyemo, and I went to a home game tournament tonight. $20 buyin, 1 rebuy after u got knocked out or you could add-on at the first break.

First hand I'm in the BB and get AJs, blinds are 25/50 with 3k stacks. 2 limpers and the button raises to $150 (fish). I repop to like $500 (this was questionable but I figured I could outplay him even OOP) and limpers fold, button calls. Flop comes 337 and I cbet about $800 and he calls, but I can see that it's slightly reluctant and he's not acting. Turn hits a 10. I look at him and it's clear that he doesn't want me to bet. I put him on AQ or AK at this point and there's no flush draw out there and I have about a pot sized bet left, so I jam figuring he'll fold. He thinks for a bit and does a "fuck it" type of call and turns over AQ. River bricks and I'm rebuying right away.

I don't mind my play cause he was totally new to me and my read was dead on, I just had no idea he'd go all in with A high on the first hand like that. I wouldn't risk it if there was no rebuy but oh well.

Ran bad for a while after that, raised some limpers with AQ twice and missed the flop and had to fold. Get down to about 5 M and get AK, jam over a raise and take it down pre. About this time zaragyemo busts out after she'd been slowly losing chips all night. She rebuys. 1-2 hands later I get QQ and I jam over about 5 limps with 8 M and it folds and I take it. Then the next hand I get JJ and even though I have about 10 M now, with my image and the fact that any raise other than AI will put me in a spot to Jam the flop, I just Jam again. The guy to my left who had been talking about calling me with 22 since I am so aggro calls, and zaragyemo also calls. When she called I said "FUCK" cause I knew I was crushed. I turn over JJ, the guy to my left turns over KK, and zara turns over AA! Flop and turn brick, river brings a K, and we're both out.

What a night. Off to go party it up.

Yeah, it sucked to get sucked out so bad... and every time I got a decent hand that I wanted to play with - k2o4 would go all in and have me fold! U suck k2.

But overall, I had good time, the people were nice and friendly and I made up for my loss by eating everything they provided! I actually think I came ahead! j/k
