Tournament #4
9-handed $6+$0.50 Turbo SnG
Hand #3 $10/$20
Dealt KQoff in the CO. It's raised to $40, I call, as do 2 others. Flop is 9-K-5. Initial raiser bets $80 and I call, 2 others fold. Turn brings a 5. Bad guy bets $150, I raise to $300, he calls. River is a 10. He checks, I bet $500 and he folds, I collect $940.
Hand #5 $10/$20
I'm MP+2 with pocket tens, and just raise it to $40, one caller. Flop 3-3-A, checked across. Turn brings ten to fill my boat. Bad guy bets $40, I raise to $240, he checks. River is a 5, checked to me, I bet $600 and get called. My boat is good as the bad guy mucks. I'm now in the chip lead with $2890.
Hand #14 $25/$50
With J5 I limp and get called by the BB. Flop is A-J-7 so I bet 3xBB and get called. Turn is a rag, River a 7. I bet $150 more and get called again. My 2 pair is beaten by AJ, and I'm slowplayed out of $350.
Hand #20 $50/$100
I've got KToff MP+4. I limp, next guy raises to $300. It's folded to me and I call. Flop is 5-K-9 and I bet $100, quickly called. Turn is a rag so I bet $300, called again. What does this guy have? 99? A9? QQ? I'm stumped. The turn is a brick, but I have no idea what is up, so I check. He bets $500 and now I'm in a corner. I have top pair and this guy can't make up his mind. With any kind of hand, surely he would have bet the flop, right? I call and he turns over AQ. WTF? He sticks around for a gutshot draw? Oh well - I rake in $2550 and am the chip leader with just over $3800.
In the next 5-10 hands, I try to make small plays at the pot with decent cards (TPTK, open ended draws, etc.) but keep getting pushed out by players going all-in. I end up down at $3200 with 5 people left at the table, 2nd in chips bekind $4700.
Hand #31 $100/$200
A5h on the button. Leader limps, I limp, BB checks. Flop is 7c-6c-3h. BB bets $200, we call. Turn is As. BB checks, Leader bets $200. He's done this about 10 times today, betting the turn after limping and then checking whatever on the turn, and he usually wins when everyone folds. With top pair, and a burr up my ass, I push all in. BB folds and chip leader calls and turns over ATc. Crap. I have to get a 5 on the river, and it comes, but its the 5c completing his flush and I've donked out in 5th.
Making that push I *knew* he was going to fold. Gah.
