Hey everyone,
This blog is going to be pretty brief, boring, and mostly for those who have bought action from me in the EPT London events. With that said....
I arrived in London on September 28th. My flights went surprisingly well as I slept pretty much the entire way. So I got in at around 10pm basically and just went right to sleep again because I had to wake up early, register for day 1b of the main, and then play.
My starting table (and only table) seemed pretty good at first glance but I soon found out otherwise lol. I had position on the 3 younger looking players who all seemed euro. Everyone one else seemed to be not the best for various reasons haha. I feel like I played very well overall. There are only 2 hands that stand out to me that I wish I would have played differently. I will share the one that I thought was kind of interesting and of course my bustout hand.
blinds are 100/200 at this point and I have QJss on the button,
utg raises to 500, 2 ppl from mp flat, as do I
sb makes it 2500
(who is sick sick aggro fish and has been 3betting relentlessly and played a hand where he 3b pre, potted the flop, potted the turn, and then folded getting probably around 3:1 on a call when he got shipped on)
the utg raiser calls and the 2 flatters from mp both fold, i call as well
flop comes out AJTxxs
crazy sb insta bets 5k into 7.5kish? pot (i have 20kish at this point)
i'm really not sure what is best in this spot but i ended up calling
turn was an offsuit 4
he instantly bets 11k (i have 15k left)
I was originally planning on calling off a blank turn but the fact that he bet 11k instead of shoving just seemed really strong to me and he just gave off a strong aura or whatever, so i ended up folding the turn
my bustout hand was pretty gay....
i pick up KK on the button
folds to the HJ (who is aggro swede), who makes it 800 at 150/300
i 3b to 2k on the button
the sb (who has been tight/solid) makes it 5600
folds to me....i ended up just shipping in around 19kish total
sb tanks......
tanks......
calls....
with AxQs
the doorcard is the Ks....followed by the Js and the 9s....
turn bricks
river 4s
gg
So I ended up playing in a 800 + 300 randomized bounty NL tourney which was actually lots of fun and a really cool tournament. Basically every 1 out of 10 players would get a bounty put on them (but still be hidden from the players) for 1000 pounds. Every other player would have a bounty of 100 pounds on themselves.
I ended up shipping 12kish with T6o from the sb at 400/800 and bb woke up with AQ and held (he had 8kish). Few hands later I ship the rest with 99 and get called by AT and QT and lose.
Today I played in the 1k PLO/NLHE mix, which was a cool tournament but very very annoying to play. I pretty much got into a lot of gay spots early on and had to make some semi-big folds, so I was shortstacked throughout the whole tourney. Eventually I doubled up in a pretty lol way in PLO when i had around 10bb's at 150/300/25 when I potted pre with AKsJ9. the bb tanked forever and ended up flatting pre (haha) then checked a 247 rainbow flop to me. I immediately throw my remaining 1400 or so into the pot and he tanks forever again and ends up calling with A662hhh.
However the turn came a 9, as well as the river.
So I then have around 20bb's or so and play tight and hover around that area for awhile. I then get into a pretty weird hand...
I raise QQJ9 double suited from MP to 700 at 150/300/25, mexico pokerstars pro flats from button and the guy I doubled off of pots it from sb to 3200 or so. I look where his stack should be and ask him if he has anything left and he shakes his head and holds up like a few chips or something (i dont remember exactly what happened). Anyway I ended up re potting to iso assuming he only had like a few 100 chips left behind but he actually had about 6.7k total or something. Anyway we get it in and he has AA3cc5. Flop is Qx2cc turn is offsuit 3 and river is offsuit A
I'm not sure if re potting in that spot with my hand is OK or not but I sort've thinking folding would be better now because I had a workable stack and the NL level was coming up soon, so I'd prob be able to get in much more +ev spots in that, rather than taking a PLO gamble. So right after that hand I get moved tables and ended up making a very marginal shove with A4o utg with 4.3k in chips at 200/400/50 (it was also 7 handed at that time). I think that's also probably a fold in retrospect and it'd be better to shove something like 89s in that spot imo but oh welll.
Overall I've been pretty satisfied with my play and I feel like I'm really on top of it right now, so I'm hoping to make a run soon. My best events to do that in are all still to come, so we will see.
Anyway, I really need to get some sleep because I'm playing the 1500 NL event tommorrow. I will make a much better and more detailed update soon but I wanted to go ahead and post something for now.
Peace homiez
