Brantford $125 Deepstack

Hellmuth's Mole

Have a day off and haven't been there for awhile so I'm heading out for some live action. Not my first choice of tournament but my opportunities are limited.

Good luck

Last time I played that I went home to a J 3... we got it all in preflop. He-haw.

First 4 levels went hellagood. I found the guy who is happy to go all in with QQ on a JT7r board of course me holding 89. Flopped 2 sets but only got paid with 1. So far so good. Oh, and I saw REEBS!

Next 4 levels was spent just spinning wheels. Ran PF raises with JJ into flops with A's twice. Knocked out a 9k stack with AK>AQ. Lost 2 races to small stacks once 99<AT and the other TJc<44 (flop T river 4.

Sitting at 32k. Blinds going to 600/1200. Apparently 42 players left.

OMG that just happened. I've grown my stack pretty quick after the second break by making a couple moves and then picking off short stacks with dominant hands (AQ>QJ, 99>44) and have it up to about 65k.

Blinds get to 1k/2k and I move (J9hh) on one of the weaker players raising his BB to 5k...he calls. Flop 4cKhTh. He checks and I bet 7.5k he calls with about 8k behind. Turn comes 8s and he jams I obviously call and miss everything on the river to his set of 4's.

Two hands later 15k stack shoves on my BB and I wake up with QQ. His A7 goes runner runner for 9 high straight.

Two hands after that I shove 18k with AhQh in late position on 4 limpers. Everyone folds except snap caller in MP. Of course he snap calls with KQo (and we basically have the same stack btw) and the board runs out KT6 K Q. Nice full house sir and gg. FML

I can't wait to get back here. :)

Silver lining story.

Brantford now makes you have a "Winners Circle" account if you want to play in their poker tournaments. Never needed one before, never would have wanted one but now I have to. With the sign up you are given a $5 Slot or match play on a table game.

Well I'm halfway out the door when I realize I still have this stupid voucher in my pocket. I ask myself "why would you turn around for a stupid $5 play?" but do it anyway in hopes of the recent bad luck at the poker table reversing course.

I get to a $10 min BlackJack table and put down my voucher with a $5 bill. Dealer ever so dickishly points out that I have to bet the minimum in cash and the voucher can go on top. Now I'm regretting turning around and wasting my time for this shit and I say "if I'd known it was going to be an ordeal for you to explain this to me I wouldn't have come to your table for one hand."

Hearing that one of the other players asks incredulously, "You're only going to play one hand?" I reply nicely with, "That's my plan as I'm a poker player, not a gambler."

Well sun of a gun if I don't win 6 straight hands (letting the min bet ride) and cash out $55 on the first lost hand. :)

That's why I play on line Live poker is so rigged. Was thinking of playing Brantford today, but yesterdays session at Rama was so poor I don't think I want to make the drive.

you can call ahead to register with a credit card although you'll need a players card as well which you have to get at the casino. the first time you register if you don't have a players card, they'll still sign you up tentatively but you'll have to show them a players card to play. all of this can be done in person at the poker desk.

i won't be playing this one, but i'll most likely be playing at least one or to live events over the xmas holidays.

Anyone planning on playing the $160 deep stack on Thursday at Brantford? I think I'll be there... I've played two others recently and final tabled both of them.
