Bad beats, coolers and (hopefully) occasional success

Makes for good reading Mr H, keep it going.......... Never stop believing  :)

Won"t have net later, so a quick update at the break. Got up to 16k at point, but finished at 7.7k.

Yet again, the better players are in a row on my left, with the fish on my right. At least my blinds are getting an easy run.

Got an epic dynamic with the guys on my left. Every check-raise I"ve 3bet, and I have 4bet-folded the flop. Now serial non-believers, with the added benefit that two of them are being relatively tight pre-flop also.

Key hands:

Raised UTG, got two callers (LAG CO and fish BB) and flopped flush draw with QT on J74 flop. Bet flop, got two callers. Turn offsuit 5. Checked round. River 4 completes my flush, and BB bets out pot with J8o.

Raised pre to 200 @ 50/75 with 34 from CO. LAG SB calls. Flop Q43 with two hearts. I bet 300, get check-raised to 600, and 3bet the flop to 1600. Villain calls.

Turn 7c. Villain check-calls 2275, leaving himself about 5k behind with the pot now at 7.5kish.

River 8h, Villain check-folds his Q after I put him in, only after a long dwell.

That got me to 16k.

Raised AQ, got 3bet by AK - gave him one street of value on a paired board, dropped about 1.3k

Raised QQ on the button to 2.5x. LAG Villain on BB calls out of his 40BB stack with Kd4d. Flops a T high flush and doubles through me, costing me about 4k. I cbet and 3bet all in on the flop vs the guy I"m consta doing this to.

Fish limps for 100 out of 2.1k stack, I make it 350 with KJ. One call from the blinds and fish jams. I call and BB folds. KJ v TT and he wins the race.

Busto around 150th of the 430 odd runners.

Coming back from the break I pushed up to 10k, then back down to 8k or so. Then picked up KK v AK v JJ AIPF and hold to get to 20k. Began to dominate the table and got up to 25k at peak.

Binked a flush vs an UTG raiser with 6c 3c on an Ac Kd Qc Kc board. Rest of his chips go in on 6h river, unfortunately he has 8c 7c.

Put me down to 12.5k and forced to tighten up now the guys on my left were stacked and opening up more. Dribbled down to 10k, jammed 55 from MP, short stack calls off his last 4.5 BBs and doubles through me with QQ.

Leaves me with 7.5k or so, and I eventually jam 10BBs from the cut-off at 400/800/100 with QTo. Button calls for 40% of his stack with A4s and holds.

Had an awesome dynamic at the table - had I picked up some big hands I was definitely getting paid. Damn getting coolered :(

This has lapsed a fair bit after I discovered that I can get onto Facebook and Twitter without needing to pay. No APAT though - scandalous.

Plus I"ve actually been spending time going deep. Was down to one big bet in the O8 (and two, and 1.5 later on before the money) but ground out to min cash after getting 3 outed for a scoop (AK93 v AKJ4 on 5566 board).

Also made day 2 of the main event. Lost an 18k flip early when I open to 525 from UTG+1 with AK and tilty BB jams for 9k with 22! Manage to get one outed in a 20k pot also, but still returning with 18.2k of the starting 20k at blinds 500/1000/100. Hopefully will win the next big hand, otherwise it"s likely to be my last.

Was incredibly disciplined, I only 4bet once.

MintTrav:
Good luck for a big result Dave!
