Two good days and tourney updates Edit** long post

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

Good start to the week today. Played for three hours and made $166.65. Yesterday I made 63.50.



As we speak I'm just after doubling up in a $5, 3000 man tourney. I pushed with a7 on button and a limper calls me with k6. I flop trips and double up to 20 BB.



Run AA into JJ = 40 BB



Its folded round and i raise in the cutoff with k5. All three people who can call do so, sure why not? Flop 552, two diamonds. Justice. Check check, I bet, the only other person to have me covered calls. Turn nine of spades. Big stack checks, I read him for FD and push, very slight overbet. Thinks for ages and folds. 40BB, 56th out of 460, 432 get paid.



I raise middle position with 66, folded round. 53rd out of 403. In the money but dont care, want a final table.


Take blinds with j8 from hijack, and then AQ the hand after. 44th/390.


Call a shorties all in with AK. Lose to QJ. 75/369


Strange hand. Blinds 500/1k. guy with 11k limps middle position. I raise to 6k with 88 in the hijack. He flats. Idiot. Flop comes Kt7. He waits ages, checks, I go all in he snap calls and I think oh fuck. Aj. turn is a 7, river.............................................8 for the full boat!
50k chips 45/314

Call a shortie with AT. Lose a flip. 64/301


In BB and reraise a bigstack stealing bastard with 62. Justice. 55/274

I have THE biggest donk two spots to my left. Not that good as I can't steal on button. But if I get a hand, if I get a hand...


Lose 12k. I'm in sb with a9. Folded round I raise to 3k, he minraises, I make it 12k. All in, I fold.


Raise with a7 on button. Call form the uberdonk but I flop an ace and take it down. 96/245


Down to just over 10bb with 18k. I raised a guy on river with four hearts down and he called with Kh. Called my preflop raise with the old k4. 184/217

Made a stupid move with T6s. Pushed to a cutoff minraise while on button. He calls with AQ and I hit. It was soooted though. 26k, 128/189

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Big stack raises and I am sitting with AA in BB. Smooth call, oh yeah. I min bet a flop of j66. Insta shove from him with 44. I return the favour with an insta-call.
53k
64/182

Fold to a raise in BB with 66. He was the big stack. Next hand I raise from sb with qq and take down blinds and ante's.

Take down blinds from hijack with j6. Maximum value baby. 60/164

I've got my lucky charm with me today so I feel good. His name is luke. I was at 16k when he came in (after that stupid bluff of mine). Now I have 54k.

Got moved. Have a full round for free!

Try to steal blinds with k6 but get a caller. I flop a king on a three club board. I bet, he folds. 61k
61/150

Blinds are 1.5k/3k. I have 60k

I love walks. 64k

Call a shortie with aq. He has AA. I should just stay away from them. 51k 77/134

Shouldn't be long now. Have 23k, bb is 3k. Made a silly move.

Take down the blinds. 29k. 103/119

Moved straight into BB next hand. Fuck. Bring on the walk.

Blinds are 2k/4k and take em down with qq. And I ran into my staker, (or exstaker now - i'll talk about that in my next post) on my table which is weird. He just got busted when his AA was outdrawn by kj, he he.

Took the blinds by pushing with AQ in early position. 39k, 79/100. If I bust now I get $20.54. At below 91 players it's $22.01.

Two limpers and I brave a push with A3 soooeted from sb. Then pick up AA on button and take down a once limped pot. 63k, 57/94

56k, attemped steal.

67k, took the blinds which are 2.5k/5k

Hugestack limps (200k) and I push from sb with j5. Maximum value. 72k 45/77


Card dead. 59k. blinds 3 and 6. Not long now....

Moved to a bad spot, bollox. 48k.

Take blinds with ajs. 61k. 50/54#


I should just push from sb everytime. Take down another limped pot with 78. Man these players are bad.

Blinds go up to 3.5/7k. I have 80k due to a push with aqs. 40/47

Some guy knocked out three players in one hand there. dodged a bazillion outs. I take down a pot from bb when sb limps. 35/40

I'm geting beaten into the pot everytime here. 69k, 33/35

On a break. Just under 10bb. Waaaaay below average. Need a double up badly.



Surprisingly optimistic after seeing this and getting a pep talk of my luck monster, luke. COME ON!!!!!!



Back on....

Took blinds. 80k. 31/33.

Took down a limped pot with 73. Maximum value baby. 101k. 28/33

Made a brave move with a2 on button. CO minraised I shove with 10bb. Fold. 115k. 28/31

Raise and take it from sb in a folded pot. 116k. 26/29


Gone. Pushed with qq and got two callers. One had AK, don't know what the other had. Payout was disgusting enough. I beat 2950 players and get $27. So much for my luck monster, luke you prick.
