Break 1

2745 chips vs 3606 Average

Very tough first hour ... on a tough table ...

First guy out ... on my table ...

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=82807

His AA raise flat called ... flop Qxx ... all the chips in ... vs QQ

"Good" to see "proper" players making the same "mistakes?" as me!

His replacement - $307k in prizes this year on Stars but a -11% ROI ...

559 players - 466 left - 63 paid ...

Break 2

So card dead for most of the session ...

Then AT become the flush draw vs the flat calling AQ - who has hit top pair ... flush on the river ...

Then moved table - AA straight away - all fold ... mmm

Then player to my left looks like he has gone on TILT ... but I have to fold my 77 to his re-raise ... moment later I raise with JJ and he flat ... flop J98 ... all the money in vs KK ... JJJ holds ...

7980 chips versus 6525 average - 257 left - 63 paid ... no sussed the new table yet ...

Break 3

Thin on cards 85th of 131 left - 63 paid.

8500 chips vs 12800 Average

Mega table at sit down with

1$ickDisea$e + $216k on Stars for 2009
Icallseat3 +$299k for the same period!

In the end they clashed with Icallseat3 winning AA vs 33 - both spiked.

20 min levels much better than 15 in terms of building less shove pressure.

That said only 21 BBs and the antes are in play ...

Cards please ...

Just "convention" raises of about 2.2 * BB might get through as people don"t want to mix it with marginal hands ...

Break 4

51st of 64 with 63 paid ... LOL

11,700 chips vs 26,200 average ... need to double up ...

Largely card dead ... got shoves through with A-rag ... and dodged some bullets ...

KQs call of A8s (very short stack) rewarded with a flopped straight ...

Two people going to have 3BBs ... I have just under 12.

Could do with a quick bubble!

I thought I was in the hay ...

A7 vs KK vs 99 flop Axx ... but turn is the legitimate King ... sigh ...

I pushed with the following

J9o
A2o
JJ - only legitimate hand in an hour
AJs - UTG
A2o
AJo
A3o

Could have pushed with lots of weaker hands, but my folds seemed to be rewarded by raises behind ... interesting to play this as compared to the Sunday Warm Up ... 20 min levels make a bit of a difference ... much smaller field of on average better players ...

Having said that I am not sure the better players are left running ... or rather it is luck that is dominating ...

e.g. Supergood1 was on 1955 chips then progressed as follows:

A9 vs K4 to 4035
A3 vs K5 to 4960
88 vs k9s to 9520
AQ vs AK to 18500
77 vs KK to 30425
KK vs 44 vs AQ to 93266
QT vs A7 to 102948
AQ vs QJ to 133618

At 1955 chips mighty short ... but a little more reason to be patient given structure ... given card distribution pretty happy but a case to be more aggressive late on ... that said the not sure about the "auto" re-steal with A6 etc ...

Something to ponder ...

Tidy Up ...

Could have been busier at the end ... but nearly got a great spot ... unlucky to find two pairs with the Ace ...

First session very pleased to fold top pair and over pair having bet out and been re-raised ... I think two easy chances to die in the first session ... could be wrong ...

Note to self - work on the re-steal - keep playing hard ...

One of the interesting things about looking at the official poker rankings is that you have players who won $250k last year but at a negative ROI. That is a mighty amount of poker ... especially as that is Pokerstars only. That guy played 8 times the amount I did last year ... others playing a lot more than that.

1$ickDisea$E played 6418 MTTs last year to my 123 (on Stars) ... now that is a lot of volume ... fair play ...
