Played the 550euro side event yesterday,
have to say my table draw was not ideal but alot softer than the main
had a very fishy english(indian descent),and an asian guy who was huge value
Keith McFadden, Sirtoyou from boards, Fintan Gavin, Fergal Nealon(was at my starting table in the main),
i also had Michael Murphy on the table, i know he's had some nice results this year, but from my very short period playing with him i thought his play was awful, raise to 6x the BB, betting double the pot multiway,
i had few interesting spots really other than, i limp blind v blind first level into a local, he checks, i have AhJs, i am not huge fan of raising any hand from the sb,
flop comes J8Thh, i bet 75 into 100, he min raises me to 150, i call pretty quickly,
turn is a blank, he now bet 300, and i figure he can be value owning himself with worse jacks and pairs so i call
river comes an 8, pretty ugly card, he now bets 525, i beat pretty much everything bar 8x, JT, overpairs are not in his range, i would think he would raise TT pre also
as much as i expect to see an 8 here alot, i do expect him to have missed SD and FD and worse jacks,
anyways he had 87hh, i lose
next interesting spot i have is vs Fintan Gavin, he raises in MP, i flat QJs in the hijack, McFadden calls on his button, flop comes KT4rainbow, fintan checks, i do also and it we see the turn which is the 8 of hearts putting a FD out der
fintan leads for 600, i make it 1725, and he looks at my stack and puts me all in,
i have 7k behind, i have the flush draw and straight draw and regret raising, i fold and Fintan says he had three 8's
3hands later i open UTG to 300 wit 86s, fishy indian calls as does the asian guy,
flop comes down a dream 97ddKs, i have 86dd, asian checks as do i, the indian guy bets 800, i make it 2200(6700), he snap flats, turn is ugly and is Jh, i jam for 4500,
he snaps me off wit QToff lol, gg nh sir
so i go up to my room and load up stars and play maybe 6tourneys or so and get coolered and 3outered in them all
i'm always very positive and i was like okay sunday will be my day so i plan to start wit the warm up and play everything up until the Sunday Million
I run into AA in 22$ on a AKK flop and i have AK lol, in the warmup i run my AA into AK aipf, to lose to running diamonds
manage to double up in the 40k guaranteed so i was like its not my day reg for no more tourneys, manage to get a good stack together and had decided a fuk it i wil reg for the 55r and 22$ cubed and the Million
went out of the 40k guaranteed in a race about 50spots off the money,
in the 55rebuy i lasted 3hours eventually going out in a big pot wit AJ vs A7 vs AT, i have AJ, played 3% of hands, i literally trebled up in the rebuy and added on and stole a couple of pots
22cubed had the same 8k from all the rebuys at the 500/1000, AJ button shove no good vs AQ,
finally pick up no spots in the million until the blinds are 300/600, i have my original 10k, button playing similar stack makes it 3x, i flat wit KK
check the T52 flop he checks back
turn comes T, he bet 1200 i call
river comes a 6, i jam for like 6k he snaps AK,
very next hand i have the button cut off makes it 1800, i have 20k, make it 4400 he jams i call wit AK, he has AA
LOL i know the variance of tourney poker is high but i jus couldn't get going in any of them
Anyways in other news i am looking forward to Xmas and the celebrations begin for me 2mro, i am leaving the radisson early 2mro to get back to Dublin and onto Maynooth wer i will be going on the lash, there is loads going so shud be good banter,
i also have a pub crawl on saturday and my sister will be back from Tanzania on friday she has been gone 6weeks and to say i have missed her is an understatement and that is even wit two trips to break up the 6weeks,
and then on sunday i'm going to see damo dempsey in whelans, 16euro a ticket bargain
Hopefully my next update will bare better news
Oh yeah fair play to BIGMICKG on making the Final Table here in the UKIPT, top bloke, hope he can take it down
