Title: G Luton Xmas Deepstack.
Post by: Curlarge on December 15, 2012, 14:30:39 PM
Went to G Luton last night for day 1a of the Xmas Cracker, which is £100 + £10, 25k deepstack, with 40 min clock and a long structure.

Got off to a steady start but then lost a 12k pot when  Jd  Js got beaten by a rivered straight. Got back to around the 25k starting stack and then the table broke and got moved to table 1, where there were a couple of big stacks.

Mangaged to win a few pots here and there and then this hand came along.

I am BB with a stack of about 60k and have  Kc Kd. Blinds are 200/400/50 and UTG opens for 1050. We get a caller and then the SB raises to 8k. I am a little wary of the flat from the short stack (22kish) and also the SB raise as I know she is a good player. I decide to min raise to 16k, just in case she has aces. I"m not worried about the shortstack as it"s not much more to call him anyway.

UTG folds and then the limper shoves for another 20k or so. The SB calls his bet, so I assume that if she has aces she shoves here to isolate. So I shove, leaving her 52k to call. She has a mahoosive dwell up and after abuot 5 mins she calls and shows  Qd Qc. The shortstack shows    Ad A s.

Flop comes  Ac  Jh  6d turn  2s river  7d. So the short stack triples up to 75k, and I win the side pot of 104k.  ;D

She knows the shorty had aces and hoped I didn"t have Kings, ooooops.

The this hand comes along about 10 mins later blinds are still 200/400/50

In mid position, I have Kh Qh.

We have 2 limpers and I come along obv., as does the guy to my left. It gets folded to the BB who raises to 1500. The 2 limpers call, as do I, and so does the guy to my left.

Flop comes  Ks  Kd 4d.

BB bets 4200. Both limpers fold, I call and so does the guy on my left. Turn   9d. BB goes a bit squiffy, smiles a bit, grimaces a bit and says he is confused. He bet 3k. REALLY!!!!

I am pretty sure he has the flush, but for 3k I call and so does the guy on my left.

River  Qc. Yahtzee!!!!

BB bets 9k leaving 26k behind, desperate hoping one of us will raise. I pretend to be confused, and I grimace and scratch my head. I say I am confused so I min raise trying to induce him to shove. The guy to my left folds and the BB duly obliges, I call and annouce Nutz!. He looks stunned as he assumes I have the flush.

He shows  9h 9s for and Full house of 9"s over Kings.

I have never seen a guy with a look of "Jeez, I really screwed that one up" on his face, quite so clearly. oooops :o

That pot of 55k has me upto 150k+ and I end the day with 144k. Blinds on Sunday will be 1k/2k/200 s I have some wriggle room. What could possible go wrong!!!!!!!!!
