WSOP 1a
Had to share some of my experiences. I ended up having a pretty good table draw, four pros and Jimmie Frickie. The other guys made up for the five pros. My first heart pumpin hand came when i opened from co+1 with A4d (sorry i cant even remember what level)co is only caller flop K95 rainbow i cbet and he comes over top I tank and then come back over top and he insta mucks. He had been getting frisky in a few pots allready so i pulled the trigger and that one worked. Hand 2 - Tight utg raises i have AA utg+1 and 3bet and he snaps flop AQ7dd he checks i fire 4k into 6k ish pot he snaps turn 3h he checks i fire 9k he snaps river 10c he checks i fire 15k and he snaps, the way he snapped every street i feel that i could have stacked him on river since he had about 11K left but o well. \like 5 hands later i get the rest mp raise co call and i call from b (22). Flop 1023ss openener checks co (same guy as above) fires I smooth and opener folds, turn is As co checks i fire 2000 a little less than half pot and he snaps river is a 5c and he checks. Now this board is terrible 4 to a str8 and 3 to a flush but he is clearly tilted and im certain that he has 10 and thats it possibly A10. River i put him in and FINALLY he tanks then calls and leaves. Played a couple hands against Jimmie. First hand Jimmie raises co calls and i complete in bb with Q7d flop a Q and check call jimmie on flop and turn he gives up river. He had been playin low ball earlier but his turn bet on this hand was a little over 3/4 pot. Hand a little while later was me oppening AQ mp jimmie called from button and bb comple flop QJ4cc bb checks i bet 1/2 pot jimmie calls turn is a 5c i check jimmie bets 4K and i call river is a blank and i check and jimmie bets 9500 and i fold. I pretty much butchered this hand by checking the turn to him. For those of you that remember Jimmie on aussie millions, he came across as arogant and cocky, but my experience with him was opposite, very down to earth and just a good guy. I was up to 94k and let the big stack syndrom get to me, i started playing some pretty terrible hands and being a little too aggresive. Anyways I ended the day with 75100 and play again on the 7th.
