today friday

today i have played three tournements so far,a 10 dym and a 55 bounty and a 3.30 russian roulette(which basically involves only 1 hand unless theres a tie) and sadly have not done well,

i bubbled the dym in fourth when after a tight 30 mins of play i pushed all in with 910 clubs in small blind for 200,for 2000 chips only to see big blind call with 77 flop came 7 spades k clubs 2 diamonds turn 9 diamonds river k hearts..........was good call considering it only left him 1 chip left as he had 2010

russian roulette i have a4 hearts,he has q2 flop q spades 9 clubs 9 hearts....turn 9 spades river 5 hearts..............

Bounty hunter- all was going ok until about 45 mins in,the blinds are at 200/400 all players fold to small blind where he calls,i sense weakness and decide that as i have 2500 in chips and he has 1200 he must be limping with a weak hand,so i push all in with 10 spades 2 hearts .....he calls and turns over a clubs 3 spades .....not sure about that call in 55 pound buyin.........flop comes 3 hearts 8 hearts k hearts turn is j clubs river 4 spades that left me short......so i fold many poor 68 46 39 etc until i find ace clubs 7 hearts on button.....i get called by kj hearts and k spades 5 hearts flop is 4 diamonds 8 clubs q clubs turn is 10 diamonds river k clubs

ok so not a great day but i feel i have played well and had a few go against me today,but i wont let it get me down.....you have to play to win......and tommorrow is a new day.......

good luck and run good.....

was definately 5% outer day...if you know what i mean.........

onwards and upwards.....

Wednesday

OK, we back today,for some MTT deepstack action 22 buyin 26 players,and it went well,had some good cards early on ,played them well,until i was dealt QQ on the button,blinds are at 75 150 and i make a 3X raise with a call from the big blind,

Flop is 10 diamonds 4 hearts Q clubs

i raise 600

he reraises me to 1500

i think ,look at board and decide theat as i have the best possible hand,we may as well get them all in,and push all in for 6000, he umms and ahss in the chat box and eventually says i have to call,and does , showing Q spades 10 clubs,

bit unlucky ,practically drawing dead,

turn was 10 hearts (start to worry about the runner runner 4 of a kind)

river was 8 hearts.....sorry Phil12uk but thats the way it goes ......

so we push on and keep steadily building our stack until we get Q 7 spades in small blind,we call the big blind and down comes the flop

Q diamonds Q clubs K diamonds.....woah i think here we go, i make a small raise and bb calls turn is 8 Hearts, i make half pot raise he calls river is 9 hearts

i make a stopper bet of about 1/4 of the pot and he minreraises.... i think what could he have......bingo he turns over Q8 for a full house......

so on we go,we still have a fairly big stack and we make it to the final table.......
the play becomes real tight and everyone folds and raises around....our chips start to dwindle and with about 6 bb left we push with 88

unfortunately we get a call from 10 10 and after AK45K flop we are no more....

made the money and final table so maybe we on the turn......

played a few DYM s and won more than we lost so that was movin on up.....

got quite deep in velocity 1k until we pushed with 44 and got called by K9 , and he spiked a 9 on the turn...

and in the velocity 600 got to 25 th (money at 20) pushed with 8 hearts 8 spades, got called by A hearts Q diamonds flop came 8 diamonds 10 hearts 3 hearts turn was Q hearts river 2 hearts to bust another of my trips with a four card flush....

but hey it happens....

so in all a profitable day today....and i think we back on track for big win soon....

regards
run hot
