Tournament #41

Notes: I'm starting to pick up repeat customers more and more. 2 this time!

we are at bb50 and less than 400 chips separates 3rd from 8th. time to play a little more hands

Yep. Raised from mid position and watched everybody fold. This might not work if the big stacks are in position (although -- the top 2 only have 1.2k more than last place

I'm doing well but I'm also getting hands. Don't think I could be doing this without getting hands. Duh, I know.


listentomebomb calls from mid stack with a/q, my k/10 suited hits on the river

I am getting much respect

2nd after long heads up w/hughcumber who played well







Place: 2nd

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #40

Notes:

shaquille all in after his 7 hits on the flop. 7!

1emptychair shows garbage after bluffing out on letastama

lunamargot in 1st at money

1 empty chair likes to play garbage bluffs but sometimes he also has cards



Place: 3rd after all in pre with a/10 off. chair calls with j/q off, hits his q on first card

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #39

Notes:


Place: 8th on a show of strength push with k/a, called by snowmen which held up

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #38

Notes:
cearamor_br could be a cool customer -- small raise pre w/k/k...then all in after flop...

nobody playing really extremely well or poorly




in the money after a silly push from jgorrell with k/10!

Place: 3rd after a probably even sillier push w/8/10 suited.


(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #37

Notes:

hawkth played  like a calling station last time I saw him. Weak player, out early. See if you can take his chips

I'm surrounded by folks playing lots of hands. Might be smart to lay low / play tight for awhile

hawkth is talking like he has to leave, gonna be reckless, etc. I didn't tell the table, he was reckless last time I played him too and out before too many hands.

I'm surrounded by...maniacs

nisya pushing nearly every hand he plays

7th place after not having barely any cards I could even bring myself to play. One or two hands I played would have had to push to win...


Place: 7th

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #36

Notes:
Nothing really sticking out here. Sugarcain calmly slapping everybody around from behind the big stack.
Repeat customer tucksy -- who I didn't keep any notes on -- calmly watching his stack dwindle


Place: 2nd after a disastrous 3rd place all in loss for kntfall with a jack that hit when I was on tiny stack -- cain calmly took him out with a j 9 2 pr.

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Notes:

huuhong plays a lot of hands -- i think he's played every one and we're 7 or 8 hands in.

played the calling station -- didn't want him to call but huuhong calls my all in pre from short stack, i double up with a quick flush

playing aggressively from the bubble has helped me steal quite a few blinds -- went from a distant 4th to 2nd and there are still 4 players

1st place with a looong and very well played heads up with ... huuhong.







Place: 1st

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #??

Notes:

lol almightybullet bluffs the first three hands, ends up all in with nothing and out

 hawkth limps with 68 suited, doesn't bet anything thru the river and my high card beats him hmm



ruff_diamonds and hawkth play lots of hands

Place: 2nd after a hard heads up with spacecowboy.

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #33

Notes:

pitbossrat plays really fast when he thinks he has cards
raised first hand, i called with rockets. he bets flop, i raise, he folds
next hand he raises with A K, but then sits quietly and waits for the river

pitbossrat first to go, thought he was best player. loose aggressive from the start.
finally from short stack with the push (although, he did have cards)

boringbill called me down all the way with NOTHING -- of course I also had nothing.

Watch for the push from boringbill



Place: 5th

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #32 or so

Notes:

No real dogs in this tourney. Everybody played well. I was amazed to be itm after some of the hands (and chips) I had to drop

Place: 2nd

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Notes:

Repeate customer in listentomebomb!

No notes on him, however.

drunknboxer makes a classic uncontested pot play early on.

wadlle's playing loose aggressive. domenvi acting a bit like a calling station. wadlle played for k's on the board when i had folded a king. wonder if he's bluffing?

casteel in the lead is plkaying like a calling station.

domenvi has found his fold button

It's good to have casteel on my left.  Do not make any plays that involve hoping this joker folds.

listentomebomb with the classic calling station play doubles up or nearly so via casteel

pushed, maybe too soon, w/pocket 6's. idjit casteel calls me with pocket 8's and i'm out at 7th.

(For the record, that was one of casteel's few good plays)

Place: 7th

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #??

Notes:

Already tired starting out. Play hard, play to win. Since you're in it already.

d5327xh7 reraises me pre flop, I go ahead and fold.




Next hand,  d5327xh7 raises pre flop with 4 5 suited, calls with -- nothing? Str8 draw

calling station d5327xh7


definite calling station. just pushed with str8 draw. made str8 -- be ready to take the stack

called all in w/pocket 10's. 9's on the board, simply couldn't believe somebody had a 9. Of course they had a 9. That's what comes of playing tired.

Place: 7th

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #??

Notes:

From Short stacked in the money to 1st place.

Played slow and smart, kept my head, didn't play every hand like it was the last one I would ever see...

Place: 1st

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)
