Play Along with Me
Tonight I'm playing in my weekly game with friends on Stars. It's a $10 buyin but pride is more important than money (well, money's nice too). I'm going to attempt my first ever live blog of a poker tourney and you can see me in my most donkish light. 15 minutes to shuffle up and deal.
9 players on 2 tables. We'll combine in 10 minutes if nobody else joins. Some people are on vacation so this may be it.
Blinds: 10/20
Won my first pot with A9 and flopped a 9. Up to 1620 (Started with 1500)
Ouch, limped with 77, was raised and folded...flop came A 10 7.
Another person joined so we're at 10 and will play 2 tables until we lose somebody.
Up to 1800
Up to 2130 because I had A8 in the BB and called a raise from a LAG. Flop was 8 Q 5. I checked, he bet 60. I called. Turn was another Q so I figure I'm either ahead or way behind so I lead out with 100 and just get called. River was a blank..I check, he bets 100, I call and win. He had A9
Blinds 15/30
Up to 2385 by raising with KJ sooted and hit a jack on the flop. Bet half the pot and was called. Turn was a blank and I bet again and he folded.
Up to 2600. Raised to 90 with KQ and got two callers. Flopped a Q and bet out. Both folded.
Blinds 25/50
We just lost 2 on 1 hand so we're down to 8 on 1 table.
Up to 2770. Raised PF with AKs and had 1 caller. Flopped a K and bet out and he folded. Yes, I'm catching flops tonight. Maybe I should live blog more often ;)
Up to 3620 when I limped in along with 5 others with J10 sooooted. Flopped 2 of my suit as well as a gutshot. Called 150 on both flop and turn then hit my flush on the river. He bet 150, I rasied to 400 and he folded.
Blinds 50/100
Lost the short stack; down to 7. I've played no hands other than freebies from the blinds...
Now down to 6. I picked up the blinds with 99
Last hand before break I catch AA in the BB and pray that somone raises. Nope, the button limps in for 100 and I raise to 300 - he calls. Flop come 9 7 2. I bet out 300 and he folds.
Chip stacks:
Me: 4070
2nd: 3502 (decent player)
3rd: 2941 (Never played with him but seems weak)
4th: 2005 (weak player)
5th: 1752 (LAG but playing tight tonight)
6th: 730 (decent player, just not playing many hands)
Let's bring it home!
Blinds 75/150
First hand and we're down to 5. Now 2nd in chips.
Picked up QQ UTG and raise to 450 and get 1 caller. Flop is K K 7 and bet out 450 and he folds. Back in 1st.
Now down to 4. Nothing exciting to report.
Blinds 100/200
I'm in the money. We lost bubble boy and I'm now a distant 2nd in chips. Plenty of time though to pick my spots.
Lost my first major hand when I flopped the nut flush draw and 2nd pair. He hit a set on the turn. Now in 3rd.
Won a race with AQ vs 10 10 and doubled up.
Now only 2 left
Blinds 100/200 Ante 25
Well, that sucked.
I was down about 3-1 in chips and we battled back and forth for about 2 dozen hands. At this point he has about 10,000 in chips and I have 4700 or so, I get Q8 sooted in the BB and he limps in. Flop comes Q 10 5 with 2 of my suit. I check raise and he raises back and we get the money in the middle. He has 10 3 and gets a 3 on the turn and I get none of my suit and so I finish 2nd. He hurt me twice when we were at 3 players, both times he had 66. One time I mentioned he hit a set, the other the board was 10 10 5 10 7 and I had A high and called a small bet on the river. He obviously had a boat.
I had a nice run of cards early so I can't complain; just later on I was folding, folding, folding. Hey, $30 is $30 so I'll take it.
For the one person who stumbled upon this blog and actually read this, I hope you didn't fall asleep at work and get in trouble over it ;)
In other news I used 2000 FPP's on stars to order the Miller NL book.
