Some hand history notes:
Level 6 - 400/800
kJ bb. Guy raises to $2k. I call. AQ5 rainbow. I check and he bets $1500. I call with gutter and to see what he does on turn. Turn 4. Check check and I know he doesn’t have A. River 6 and I bet $3200 and he snap folds
Very next hand. Guy makes it $2200. I look down in bb to see KK. I make it $5,400. He thinks a bit and makes it $12k. I just call. Flop J104 with two hearts. I have K hearts. Check, check. Turn Q hearts. His most likely hand in my mind is AK so I check planning to call since I have K of hearts. He checks. River 4 diamonds. I check planning to call depending on bet size. He checks. He had AQ. Preflop should have 5 bet but my hand would have been face up and most likely only gets action from QQ or AA. Ok with how I played it.
QQ - raised 2k. Sb and bb both call. J57 all diamonds. I don’t have Q diamonds. Checked to me so I bet $2k. they both call. Turn 2 diamonds. Check, check, check. River K. Check, check, check. First guy had AJ no Diamond. 2nd guy turns over J5 offsuit for two pairs.
87,100 start of level 7
500/1000
New player limps UTG. Next to act I make it $4k. Button calls and limper calls. Flop Q88 with two hearts. UTG checks. I bet $6k and they both fold . I had AQ.
89,100 start of level 8
600/1200
Guy raises 4K that’s tight. Call with 77. Button calls. KJ7 flop. Initial raiser bets 9 with around 35k. I make it 21k. Button folds. He goes all in and I call. He had AA. Runs out clean
115,500 start of level 9
1000/1500
First hand back from dinner break I open KJ diamonds to $3500. Button makes it $10k. I call. Flop J106 rainbow. I check and he bets $10k. I call. Turn 6. Check, Check. River 9. Check, Check. He had AJ. Probably should have folded to his reraise preflop.
Guy makes it 3000. I have 99 in sb and flat. Bb calls. Flop KQx. Checks around. Turn 3. Checks around. River 4. Checks around. Initial raiser had 1010. So nice flop not to lose anything else in this one.
Very next hand on button I get 99 again. Folds to me and I make it $3500. Sb calls. Flop 975 rainbow. Sb checks and I bet $3k. He makes it $10. I just flat. Turn J. He checks. I bet 11k. He calls. River 5. He checks. He has $40 behind so I put him all in and he snap folds.
104k start of level 10
Defended bb to a raiser with 109 clubs. Flop 783 rainbow. Checked and he bet. I called. Turn K. He bet. I called. River 7. Check, Check. He had QQ
Got up to 120k and UTG raises to $5. I call with JJ. Have J diamonds. Flop 345 diamonds. I bet $7 and he immediately jams with around $45k. Probably my biggest mistake of day. I thought he could have 88,99,1010, QQ, KK,AA, AQ or AK likely with a Diamond for last two. Probably should have just folded to look for better spot. Called and had two black QQ. My diamonds were live but ran out clean for him. Knocked me down to around $70k.
Best hand of tourney here. Raise 99 and only bb calls who jas around $60. Aggressive pro. Flop 862. Flop I bet and he called. Turn 6 I bet and he raised. I called. River 2 he goes all in real fast. Also thought if he really had a boat wouldn’t he bet less to make sure I called. Felt like a bluff and that he wanted me to fold. Called and he had 35 offsuit
Bagged over $190k. Let’s go!
