Gogie;413568 wroteSorry guys, but this has been absolutely miserable poker so far (first break - heading to level 4). The best hand I’ve seen is AQos and that was folded to a bet on a K high flop with 2 or 3 other guys to act behind me. My next best hand was KQos which I folded preflop to a raise and a reraise. That’s it other than the odd Ax. I haven’t seen any pocket pairs yet. Despite all the crap my stack is still at 24,900 so hopefully the cards will start coming.
You got this, you can be very patient and wait till the cards turn in your favour then pounce on all of them .

Level 5 (200-400,400)
Finally get a hand. AcAs in early position. I raise to 1000, call and V (“semi-pro” guy) raises to 3700. Folded to me and I raise to 8000. Folded to V who calls. Flop Jc8c5h. V bets and I shove. V thinks for a long time and calls. He turns over 5x4x! Turn Q river A and I’m up to 56,000. Avg = ~37,700.

Moved to new table. First hand dealt AJos. Folded to me and I raise to 1000. Folded to SB who calls. Flop J high. V checks I bet 1500 he calls. Turn rag, I bet 2500, V raises to 7500 and I call. River a brick. V checks and I check. I show my J and he mucks. Scoop a nice pot. Up to almost 70,000.

Amazing ! Keep up the good work.
Gogie
Barely made it to day two. Down to 102,000. Next level will be 2500-5000 with a 5000 ante. That puts my M just under 9 which means i’ll be looking to shove early on.
Gogie
Looks like I’m 161 out of 209 remaining. 153 paid. Need a couple of big hands early on.
MrCaspan
GL man that bubble is close!!

Just checked out my seat assignment for today. Although I’m short stacked so is pretty much the rest of my table. The big stack at my table is only at 185,400 and there are a couple of shorter stacks so at least there shouldn’t be a lot of pushing around to start.

Be the pushee not the callee, unless you have a big hand of course. In these situations I would even push middle suited connectors if folded to you in late position. lol, ymmv.. Of course I would never do this at a home game...:fish:;)
Gogie
First break of the day - i’m In seat 9 on the button so I have a few hands before blinds and antes hit me. Yay me.

Thanks Pimp.

Well that didn’t last long.
2nd hand. Short stack shoves 47000. I have AQ and shove. V shows T9os. 7 high flop. Turn 8 river J and I’m down to 57000.
Next hand I get QT os. Folded to me I shove and one caller. V shows AJ so I have two live cards. T high flop gives me hope but A on turn seals the deal. Off to Aria for their senior.

No issue with the way you played either hand, I would have done exactly the same... tournament variance is a bitch..
damn seniors.. 10,9 off??? I though they were supposed to be tight.
Toronto Pimp
Holy poop. Nice try, can’t do anything different in that spot.
I would check that guys I.D. Sounds like a whippersnapper move to me.
