Big Comeback - Almost...
I registered for the 8:10 $5+.50 on Stars, and then found out at 8:05 we had a sitter and were going shopping. Too late to unregister, oh well. I returned home at 9:30 and found myself with 855 in chips with blinds at 100-200.
My first hand back was in the BB. UTG moves all-in, folded around to me, and I call with :9s :7s (called since stack so low, might as well end it quickly). He showed :ac :kd , the board teased him with a diamond 4-flush, but I turned a 7 for the win. Chips now at 1810.
Folded the next 3 hands, and finally picked up :ac :qc . Raised 3BB, SB calls. Flop was :ts :7s :kh . SB raises the pot, but he hesitated too long, so for some reason I put him on A-low . I push all-in, he calls with :as :9s . I was right about what he had, but the spade draw is bad. However, the board blanks, and I double up again.
Folded the next 3 hands again, back in the BB. MP limps, everyone else folds, and I have :3h :10c . Oh well, a free flop before I fold
. However, the flop came down :10d :3c :qs . Monster flop for my crap, time to end it. Pot's 500, I raise 700, he re-raises me all-in (another 2700). I can't put him on a monster or I'd expect him to trap a little - probably has a Q, AQ at worst. I call, and he shows :ad :qd . Another good read, he has 5 outs - yay me. Unfortunately, the turn is an A and I'm done.
A pretty short game for me, blinded out half my stack, started with M=3, doubled up on hands 1 and 5, and busted out on hand 9. Strangely, I felt really good about my game. The first hand was forced, but the other 2 I seemed to read the players better than normal, probably because I wasn't really thinking yet . Maybe a bit too aggressive on the last hand, but somehow I knew I was ahead, and my M would drop to 6 next hand (blinds were going up), so why not go for some chips that would allow me to play for the win
My finish - 393 out of 1301- LOL!
