Balance and Finishes

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

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 #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)
