session N1
tournament 25+5, 68 runners
position : 2nd
Tournament summery:
I started playing very focused and observing all the action at the table. Grinded my stack from the original 15k starting stack to 50k in the first 4 levels(25/50,,,50/100,,,100/200,,,200/400). The last hand before the break was interesting. I am sitting on roughly 30k on the Button. a tightish guy opens to 1100 on 200/400 a guy on HJ calls, I deliberated 3bet with K
9
but eventually decided to just call and the bb calls. pot is 5000 and the flop comes A
K
5
. OR c-bets 2100, guy in the HG reizes to 6500 (with 11k behind) I call on the button (I will tell you what I was thinking but i want to hear your responce first) OR folds. Turn 6
He checks i check behind. River is 4
he checks i bet 9k he calls and shows AJ off.
.
After the first break I won a had with 99 vs A3. we went all in after i CR him on 8
5
3
board
.(the guy had 30k originally).Went to about 100k while the avr stack was about 27k. Then i started to open too much hands, the usuall junk hands, J8off Q7off 58off and went to about 65k in just one level. I self acessed myself and tought I shouldnt be over aggresive because most of them will give me action on my Premiums anyway. so I chenged gear and went into the tight zone for a level.
Grinded my stack back to 100k and everything else went normal untill we reached the final table. The final table played pretty much standard. I started with 140k while the avr was 100k waited for good spots and play well untill we reached the heads up. Me with 700k vs old guy from Blackpool with 350k.
The guy was so predictable and so passive that i refused to chop the 1st and 2nd money so we played. First i grind him down to 200k then i double him up to 400k. Second time i grind him down to 300k then he shoves with open-ended on the turn againts my top two pair on A9610 board with J8 and binks a 7
.Then we went back and fort and he ended up floping the nuts with 67 on a 543 board while me having A2
.
Notes for the session
good emotion managment.
Study how to play big stacks when i have them because i obviously do some mistakes when i got 3x or 4x the avr stack
