Busted Monte Carlo
Четвъртък, Април 30, 2009 04:47Going into the tournament I was pretty jet lagged but felt like I could still play pretty well. I started the day just grinding through the early levels without having very many big pots. I was up to about 40k (30k starting stack) at 200/400 50 ante when I played my first big pot. The cutoff raised to 1100 I called on the button with 56ss and the BB called. The flop came J56 rainbow, bb and cutoff checked I bet 2k the bb check raised to 7k cutoff folded I shoved for around 25k total he called with 88 and I held.
Anyway so I entered the 300/600 level with around 60k and unfortunately I didnt make it to 400/800. I lost with an oesd and bdfd vs 2p, tried a small bluff that didnt work, had aj vs aq aipf against a short stack, and lost with an overpair vs pair+sd. I lost all of those hands in around a 30 min period and I was out. Really frustrating to have a big stack in a very soft tournament like monte carlo and then just hit a bad stretch and bust so quickly. But thats the nature of tournaments just have to put it behind you and move onto the next one.
So for the rest of the trip right now my plan is to play the 5k euro nl event today and if I dont make day 2 of that I will be playing the 25k euro high roller event tomorrow and possibly some of the other prelims.
