Just got back from the casino. Tired as hell. Going to bed, but will post short update on my Chicago Poker Classic tournament.
After all the tournament was pretty nice. Not too expensive, and the blind structure is pretty nice. Starting w 10,000 in chips. Yesterday played in some satellite and won ticket to Event 1, so it was pretty much free roll for me today.
800 players registered. Funny thing, at least 9-10 people from PDC/Carbon attended the event. We took some pictures together, will post them later.
Back to my tournament. To make long story short, got busted out w 1010 vs 66 pre flop in Level 4 or 5. Guy raises to 550 under the gun. Blinds 100-200. Stacks around 6k mine and his 8K. I look at my hand, 1010. I re-pop him to 2200. To be honest I put him on weak ace or some middle pair. I pretty much knew how he played, since we were sitting since tournament start at the same table. He thinks for a while, asks me how much do I have left and ships it. Easy call. Not folding there for sure. 2 reasons. 1. Not against this player, who thinks A8 is a monster. 2. Need to double up, bcs I'm not there just to survive, I'm there to make deep into cash or break early, so I'm not wasting my day for nothing.
I was hoping he didn't have 2 over cards for a flip I got even better news seeing that I had dominating hand. 1010 vs 66.
Flop hits 734. Turn 5 completing his gut shot straight, river blank Ace. Awesome.
Thank you and have a good day.
Then I went to play in some cash game. $1-2. There was one maniac player who would not give you to see cheap flops or any cheap card. First 15 minutes I observed the table and noticed that he plays like always has a monster. I wasn't born yesterday and I know that is not really possible. I folded to him top pair w good kicker like 4 times, bcs didn't want to go play big pot with marginal hand, but last time folding to his reraise on flop Ace 10 with A56 on board decided that's the last time I let him push me around.
And the fun started. Started playing like every hand I had aces. That was freaking hilarious. Table was only spectating. Lucky me, I folded when I had worst hands and got called when I had something better. If anyone else gets in the hand, I know they must have a monster, bcs they didn't want any part of our brawl.
I put the guy on tilt with showing some bluffs and he started calling me with lowest pair when I had monsters. Good stuff.
One of the hands- He raises in EP to $12, everyone folds, I'm in late position wake up with a monster J6. I re-raise him to $28. He calls. Flop 6Q8. He checks, I bet $30. Flats. 3 on turn. He checks, I check. River J. Two pair. Nice. He checks I bet the pot, insta calls. Flips 22. I scoop the pot and people are sitting wondering wtf these two are doing here?
The same guy is pretty much on red hot tilt and spews all his chips to everyone when he actually had like 3 buy ins when I joined the table. Finally gets felted and leaves the table. argh. No fun. People are too tight and not fun to play against. So, I stood up and went to play in some satellite for tomorrows event.
Quick recap of that one. Guy raises UTG, I call on button w A8. flop A86. guy bets, I reraise all in, hoping he has some Ace and pays me off. He thinks for a while and while pushing his stack into middle says "I think you don't have an Ace". I flip two pairs, he shows JJ. Turn blank, River J. Congratulations, please come again.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm playing in Event 2. This Event was on sale on chip me up, so I would love to make some money for guys who invested in me...
