I believe the Tuesday tournys are 7 pm starts.

Tuesday tournies start at 7pm and only have 40 runners, top 5 pay out. $10k starting stack.

With 20min blinds, I knew it would be shove or fold as it got near the end of the tourney, but early on, there was room to play.

First big hand of the night came with the blinds still at 25/50 - I raise to $150 from UTG with J-J, all fold to the button who re-pops it to $450 - Some background on button, I have played with him in a Hamilton home game a few times and he is extremely tight and would only do this with QQ+ - but we are really deep so I call to set mine.

Flop comes Jack high, rainbow - bingo, a set. I check and he leads out for $500. I do not want to slow play this as I think I will get paid on all three streets and I re-pop it to $1200. He just calls. Turn is a brick, I lead into him for $2000 and he just calls. River is a King -uh-oh, he could have KK, but I cannot be that unlucky, can I ? I bet $3000 and he just calls and I show my Jacks and he has Aces. Nice pot me.

Nothing much happens until just before the second break. I am dealt QQ in the SB, folds to button who raises it to $1200, I re-raise to $3000 and BB calls, and button calls. Flop comes......Qd-Ts-5s !! Top set, I decide to disguise my hand and lead out for $4000, BB calls and button goes all in. I snap call, then BB says, all in !!

Holy crap, I couldn't say call fast enough. Button shows Q-T for top two pair, BB has T-T for second set and I have top set and they are both drawing dead. I now have $58k in chips and am the chip leader by far with 25 players still in.

The final table stack average is going to be $40k and I am already over that.

I start stealing blinds, no one wants to tangle with me now. Then I get A-Q in mid position. I raise it to $3000 (2.5x BB), the button calls and the BB goes all in for $8000 total. I snap call (in hind sight, I should have re-popped it) and button calls too.

Flop is Q-T-3 rainbow. I bet $12000 and button goes all in for $20k and I have to call. She flips over Q-T for two pair and hits a ten on the turn for a boat and I'm down under $40k.

We get down to 14 players and I get moved to the other table. I get dealt QQ the first two hands and manage to chip back up to $58k. Then comes the brain cramp.

I get dealt Ac-4c in the SB and its just me and the BB. I raise to $3k (2.5x BB) and the BB calls. Flop is 8c-7d-2s - I check and BB leads out for $4k and I re-raise to $10k. I think its a strong move, and should rep a bigger pocket pair to the board. He just calls.

turn is 8c - Now I have flush draw, but if I do have a pp, then I don't like the 8 , thinking he probably has one. So I check and BB checks. - River is the 8h. Now an 8 is unlikely for him, the only way I win though is to bet. So I lead out for $10k, and he tanks.

He calls with 2-2 - for Eights full - I am now down to $25k

After that it was trying to find hands to steal blinds and antes. I did manage to get it to $30k at the final table. The shortest stack at the table went all in for $6k UTG(blinds were $1k/$2k) - It folded to me in the SB and I had As-7s, so I went all in for $24k to get heads up.

Short stack turned over Q-Jos - Flop came A-K-4 rainbow, nice I'm in front....until the turn brought the ten and gave him the straight. FFS. I dont even remember the last hand, I saw paint UTG (only had 4 BBs), and shoved - got called by AKos and they hit. GG me.

So no cash, but I'll be ready for Thursday.

GG, I think the casino noticed you were running over the tourney when they changed the deck to the trick deck! the one consisted of two 8c's.. Lol jk good run

Good to see your "game" is in good shape. Now that the variance monster has had a snack, you have a clear run at taking it down tomorrow night.

That's funny when I won the the event I doubled with queens vs qt on a qtx board. Good run minus the bvb hand probably didn't need to play a big pot there. And you probably should have shoved river vs aces nit early on.

Ya that BvB hand was terrible. And I know if I shoved the river versus the Aces nit, he folds.

$15000 chips to start, 20min blinds, $50 bounty chip.

Not as many hands to report this time around. Early on I got dealt Qs-Qc on the button and re-raised it to $1000, as UTG raised it to $300. We are heads up and the flop comes Jd-9d-3s, UTG checks and I make it $1200. UTG calls. Turn is Ac, UTG checks, I bet $20000, he calls. River is Ks, UTG checks and I check and he flips over Kd-Qd.

Nothing of note happens for a long while until I get down to 8bbs. I am on the button with K-Tos and decide, regardless of the action ahead of me, I am going all in. Mid position raises it to $2500 and I ship it. He calls and flips over A-Kos. Great, I'm dominated.

But I flop a Ten and double up. I then get moved to another table when it gets down to 3 tables. Within 8 hands, a player two to my left goes all in three times. Once he showed A-8s, so he is shoving light and I have him just covered in chips.

In the cut-off, I get dealt QQ, and buddy two to my left goes all in. I go all in and he flips over K-Jos. Flop comes A-5-3, good start. Turn is a Q, giving me trips. The river is a god damn Ten. He goes perfect, perfect for a straight and I am crippled. Down to 4 BBs.

I won no bounties and went out in 24th, out of 66 runners.

Maybe next time.
