Say hi to Hobbes for me.>:D
I finished 2nd last week, that should tell you about the competition.
Hi der
29 runners I believe it was, paid top 4. 20K chips to start, 100/200, 20 min blinds. Man was it nuts. I don't think I played more than 1 hand in the first hour but everyone else did. I would say at least half didn't really understand you had to use exactly 2 cards from your hand and 3 from the common. One guy had a real argument at out table over what constitutes a flush and not for the reason above. He thought and vehemently argued that a low flush could get counterfeited. ie if you had say 10,2 of hearts with 3 hearts on the flop, at that point you had a flush but if a fourth heart came that would counterfeit your 2 of hearts meaning no flush. Took a couple of us a while to persuade him otherwise and I still don't think he was convinced.
Lost half my stack on level 4 chasing a flush, then doubled up all in pre with KK's double suited. Just prior to collapsing to 2 tables won another reasonable pot in the BB wioth AA single suited when I pushed over a raise and 2 callers. Everyone folded.
14 players left, sitting with about 22K, blinds at 600/1200, on the button with 5678, 2 clubs. 4-5 limpers including the blinds. Flop comes 4,7, J with 2 clubs, nice! Flush draw and 3 card wrap... I know where I'm going here. EP bets like 6K folded to me and I push. He thinks and says I have to call with top 2. Nothing on the turn but a club on the river to give me the flush and an almost 50K pot.
We get to final table of 8, first hand and I'm sitting with about 60K, chip leader who is 3 to my right has 110K. Blinds 1/2K. We take another multiway unraised flop. I have QQ,6,4 single suited in the cutoff. Flop is AAQ. Nice! Chip leader bets 12K, I raise to 27K figuring he has the A, hopefully not AQ. He pushes and I snap. Turns over A,K,7,2. Turn 7, river another A for quads.
I hate this game!
In summary the Cave is a great little game for those who like land mines and can stomach variance. Should be a real money maker for those who play it regular and are decent players.
Chopped it headsup against the chipleader who ran over the final table with his huge chipstack. Luckily when we got heads up, we were even in chips so we just decided to chop it up.
Thanks Al, for running this game and also the regular cave games as well.
Was the chipleader the guy who took me out early at final when I flopped Q's full on a AAQ flop and he had AK? If so he ran like god...
Yeah that was him... he kept running us over after you left as well.
On holidays?
Mole, if you find a game tonight, we can carpool.
Or I can host a SNG. LMK.
