Sunday poker

Sunday Poker

Sunday is a traditional day/night for poker. It was raining, so why not?
I started playing rush poker, on full tilt and it didn't go too well.
I had AK, went all in, and got called by,.... AK.
Then 10 mins later my KK got called my AK, 'yes!' I thought.
Then on the flop was a bright red Ace.

Lastly, my A10 did not do much better. 10 was on the board. I go all in on flop, called by JJ.
So, was about 5 bucks down.

Then played a 6 player tourny. Took about 40 mins, came 1st. 7 dollars to me.
Then, the big one. The Big little tournament. 2 dollars with a chance of winning 10,000.
Only problem is that 55000 people joined in.

I wasnt having a good time, wasnt getting hands for a long time. Had to be patient for the first hour. Then about 1.5 hours in I got QQ, I was about 11000th out of the remaining 20000th people it was now or never. I got two callers. One dude, had the same stack at the table as me, around 10000. He called me with AK off suit. Then next to him one fella called =, he had about 3000, he had 22. There was a Queen and an ace of the flop. The turn and river were blanks. I doubled up.

Then a few mins later I got JJ. I 3 bet, got called by someone with a stack of 8k (I had 23ish) on the flop there was something like 3 5 7. I went all in. He had 88. I take the pot. Up to 30oddK. Then I got JJ a few hands later. Again I double up. Then I take out some small stacks. I pick and choose well. I get up to 93k in the next hour. 30th out of 4500 (around 50,000 people were already out of the compeition). I got very excited by this.
Top 30!

Then, a big stack came to my table and as I knocked out smaller stacks some medium stacks came, so there were several people with 65, 50k etc on my table. I thought I had to be careful. I got QA off suit. I only min raise, I got two callers. Flop is KQJ. He bets 20k, he has about 70k, I have about 90. I raise him. He goes all in. I have to call, but I dont like it. I should have just called him instead of raising. Either way- he had KJ. I lose this MASSIVE pot.

I'm down to 9k. I get KA, double up. I then go all in with k9, miss. Then the blinds are up to 4k, each hand is 500 for antes. I go all in with 7k, less than 3 big blinds. I have q7 of spades. Two spades on the flop. But no more. I go out 2511th out of 55,000. I don't get very much for this, maybe $7. Wasn't very happy about my performance as I should have been a bit more careful when I was doing so well.

Silly really.

Anyway, a good experience nonetheless. I just need to learn to play well when I'm doing well. I often find when I don't have a lot of chips I play better!

Good luck to you guys, hope to see you at the tables soon!

Ciao for now.
