Holy cow.... What a long friggin day. Nothing really crazy happened the first 2 levels. Everything was ABC poker for me then our table broke and i ended up on a table with 3 young German pro's. If you have played with me you know i like to chat and shoot the breeze while playing. Also on this table was Maurice Hawkins who really likes to talk crap and tries to get you to on tilt just by saying goofy stuff....... I tried talking to the 2 dipsticks on either side of me ( Z Germans ) and the one young kid said to me "sir please don't talk to me, this is a very serious tournament and you should stop joking around".
Oh really......... Well now i want sit on this kid and fart on him........or stack him.
I wait till he makes a big re-raise and i am directly on his left and have 3 times the chips he does. I call his 3.5x raise with 2-4of clubs. If i miss the flop i will insta muck but if i hit it i will grab him. Flop comes fop comes A-3-5 rainbow. Ding ding ding ding . Fancy German lad bets almost full pot and i try and stare at him and he pulls his hoodie over his eyes. I say to him whats The best made German car ??? He just looks at me and doesn't say anything 2 mins go by and i say if you don't tell me i will raise you. He says in a real girly squeeky voice stop joking around this is serious. I min raise him. Germans hands start shaking as he is counting out his stack. I say " oh your hand are shaking a little....you should fold now so you dont go home" he yells stop talking to me.
The whole time Maurice is laughing and saying funny crap to the german to.
The little weasel says...... I put you all in ...... I say "you can't , you don't have enough chips" then i say " but i call since i have the nuts.
He says you cant have the nuts because i have the nuts and slams over pocket aces.
Now....... I didn't slow roll him.....but before i fliped my hand over i did say " back in Canada the nuts must mean something different" imflip over my 2-4 and this kid goes on super double monkey tilt. I mean he is almost crying as he is yelling at me telling me how stupid i am.
Brick the turn and brick the river......bye bye you crazy German.
i know alot of you guys think i am pretty dumb for pulling this stuff but it is the best way to really win a huge pot against better players. If i miss the flop i insta fold everytime, then only way i continue is if i make a set or flop a straight or flush.
The rest of the day was ABC and during the last level of the night i decided to tighten up because i was happy to take a 100K stack to day 2.
I am feeling pretty good about how i played and for the second time in my life i folded a full house. In the second level amflop came 888 and i had 22. Guy checked i bet maybe 300 he flats turn comes a 9 i check he bets out. I tanked for 2 mins then folded face up and the guy was nice enough to show me he had pocket jacks. Made me feel pretty good but still hurts to fold a boat.
today is a day off then we play day 2b Wednesday. Thanks for the support and well wishes.
if anyone can find the table draw for day 2b please let me know if you have any info on the other players at my table.
Such an amazing story. May you continue to run good and stack z Germans.
Btw that full house fold to me doesn't seem all that hard. I mean it sucks folding one, but that has to be the easiest way to do so. That hand, that board.

GLGLGL!!!
I agree with you 100%....
With bottom pair i didn't really stress out over it but being the calling station that i am i always have the hero call in the back of my mind.
I have heard of David Tuthill. Over 1.4 million in lifetime winnings since 2010. He finished 43rd in the 2014 main and won a wsop circuit ring in 2013 according to Hendon Mob.
I think I saw him on espn coverage in 2013 of the main. Looks like someone to watch out for along with Hafiz.
I think maybe the Germans hacked my twitter . I have no idea what is going on with it.
last night we played 5 two hour levels and 1 one hour level. I busted on the last hand of the night. Blinds are 1000 2000 with a 300 ante. I have KQ suited in the big blind. Everyone folds and button raises to 4500, i call. Flop comes KQ4 i bet 9000 he calls. Turn comes a 6 i have 40,000 left..... I bet 22,000 he shoves i have to call. He had pocket queens.
i lost a moster pot just after the dinner break where i had pocket kings and re-raised a guy from 3500 to 11,500 and he called with k4 off...... He hit a 442 flop........ I was up to 180k but gave him 55k on that hand. Also had pocket aces cracked by pocket twos for a big pot.
it was fun but the days are so long....i would say too long. If you only had to do it one or two days in a row it wouldnt be too bad but knowing you need to play your a game for 7 days is tough. Also these young kids are tough three betting so light and firing every street. I bet i folded the best hand a few times just because of their aggression.
On to the cash games...... I am here till Saturday.
Thanks for the support and sorry i couldnt make it another couple days.
GG Mike! Sounds like some tough hands and some unfortunate bad luck. I agree with your assessment with your bustout hand. Nothing you could do there.
Does this mean you are not the new twitter rep for savethechildren then? Lol somewhere you will find the germans you busted laughing in a dark corner of the Rio!
GL in the cash games. Maybe you will find the germans playing there!

My plan is to not get out of line or bluff .... (much).
My goal is to end day 2 with around 300,000 in chips.
thanks for all the support and well wishes guys.
P.s. You guys from mooses game that are all way better than me should take the chance and play this thing.
Good luck today!!
I saw that list of players but thought it was chip counts from Day 1c. Didn't realize it was seating for Day 2.
Auf Wiedersehen for now....
Meh, just trying to toughen you up for the event. Looks like it worked.
You're welcome, BTW.
Keep it going. We're all rooting for you.
Aka was his twitter hacked? Is he lying somewhere in the desert? Where are those German bastards?
