April 11th recap

Yesturday was great made 2 final tables and cashed about 4 or5 times, my horses didn't do to well though. AJ bombed out, sonny bombed out, BUT Dr.Gutshot did take a 4th for $50 some so I'm free rolling my last couple games with him. No matter what happens I will be re staking him for at least $44, so lets talk about my days. Going to have to go back to the 10th it seems also.

The 10th

This day was good to me I made 2 final tables at the same time to take 2nd in them both for $144 a piece, made couple other final tables but these were the main ones. Funny part is the dude in the one HU asked me if I wanted to chop. Now I have chopped the 180s before but after that I decided that there is no way I'm chopping a 180 again, you gain $35 or so from chopping a 180 and I think you lose a ton of equity that way. Its not like we are playing for thousands here it freaking $35 when if you don't chop you can win the difference between $144 and $216 which would be $70. My investors were in the lobby, would of been better if I beat him but I played bad HU and called his all in with my Ax when he had JJ and he held up. In the other one I had TP with AJ but my opponent made his gutshot on the turn.


The 11th


Made 2 final tables this day, I took a 4th place in the morning and later on in the night I went into a very tough final table. These player except for 1 seemed like it was their 1st final table, the were raising to 7500 in the 600/1200 level which is just silly. No one wanted to play post flop, one of my favorite plays was when someone raised to 10k with a 15k stack, plus one guy kept shoving light and doubling up through luck. Well anyway after the 1st orbit I tightened up and just tried to hang around and let the crazy play eliminate some people. When we got about 5 handed and the player I knew was good was out I hit a string of hands and took out the last 4 people, I went from a stack of 25k to a stack of 150k. When we were HU I raised 1st hand and the guy shoved on me, I told him not to be afraid to play me post flop and he seemed to calm down a little bit. Well he chipped up on me and took the lead on a bunch of missed flops, I got a K6 on a 256 flop and got it all in, it took me all of a second to call his shove after I cbet. He showed 78 which is about the best I expected him to have, he blanked turn and river and I had a HUGE lead. Next hand we got it in preflop with me having JT vs his Kx, the K on the flop sucked but the river Q for my straight was great. So I made some good money these last 2 days for my investors.

Right now my bap is about $1300 give or take which isn't bad seeing as the actual investment is only $660, the beginning BR is $800 but that's because I added $140 to it.
