April 9, 2008, 2AM: Played 3 hours, 30 minutes, Made $7.60 at Full Tilt
$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (15th out of 860 Players)
Key Pot #1
AK vs. AQ….I hold to double early on.
Key Pot #2
AJ v A2.…I lose to go right back to my orig. stack (all in pre…blind v blind battle)
Key Pot#3
Aqs….9x bb…MP standard raise, I ship on button, SB reships…MP folds…I hit A on turn vs. SB’s KK. I win.
Key Pot #4
I raise from MP with AA. BB calls with Q9 spades. Flop is T 6 5 two spades. He leads for 240 into a 900 pot. Instead of reraising half my stack and being committed anyways I just shove to 1) look weak and 2) get a call from a hand that may slow down if a bad card for him hit’s the turn. He calls I dodge his spades.
Key Pot #5
I raise standard from MP with AA (80-160 to 450). Button shoves for 5k?! I call he has KK (finally that way around). I hold.
Key Pot #6
I got moved to a table that with 6 tables left had the top 4 chip leaders in the tournament! I blinded down and had to really look for a strong hand because I had almost no FE against those players. With 500-1000 blinds and a 125 ante I found AQ o in MP and shoved. The button called and so did the BB. The checked it down on a AJJ34 board and showed T8 and 99 and I tripled to 35k.
Key Pot #7
Still stuck with all the chip leaders and I have blinded down again. Both because I have been card dead and there have been very few spots to steal with the big stacks raising each other every hand. I still feel good; we’ll see what happens I have about 14xBB. I busted a short stack with 77 to chip up to 30k after sliding.
Key Pot #8
I have 27k at 1k-2k blinds. I shove with JJ in MP. It folds around to the BB who calls with AJ. I hold and climb to a little over 50k.
Key Pot #9
Guy UTG shoves for 35k at 1200-2400 blinds…it was the same guy who doubled me up a few minutes before and he had been playing a little reckless since that hand. I had JJ in the CO and decided to shove for my 50k to isolate. I have just barely 20xBB at this point and really think his range was AJ+ and 99+. This obviously leaves me right in the middle of having this be a good call or not and am not exactly sure right now. If he makes a standard raise I definitely shove though. Anyways, unlucky for me the button re-shoves. UTG flips up QQ and the button had AK. The AK hit and busted us both so I at least moved up to the next pay spot at 15th. The action behind me doesn’t really bother me because 95% of the time I am going heads up. My biggest question is on whether or not my call of the guy UTG was right. I really am not sure. Anyways, sucks to get that close but it does feel good to run pretty well and get pretty deep.
