wow what a day lol/
Yesterday I played a session and made day 2 in two amazing tournaments, the $215 6max rebuy which is basically my favourite tournament, and the $2k 8 max which is pretty reggy but very fun. We were around $20k behind the Swedes in the bet, but I had around 10k locked up here, day 2 started at 3pm, so I had to start 3 hours earlier than normal, which I was really concerned would **** my rhythm up.
Woke up at 1pm, watched Arsenal/Chelsea and got Sunday roast.
Got back just in time and built up my stack in 215r. Bust out hand was relatively interesting, fishy kinda guy opens cut off and I have like 28bbs in the sb with 99, obv absolutely loving life, I think I would sometimes induce here vs certain guys, but jammed this time. He kinda tanked a bit and called KK
got a decent score in like 15th though and confidence was high.
Had to reg the other tables and wait 4-5 hours for the second day 2. Playing was pretty fun, I made sure that I would play 8 tables max, so I wouldnt be overcrowded for the day 2.
Day 2 came around and I build up 3x my stack early and then played this hand.

Can't remember exact stacks left in the tournament, but we were down to 3 tables and this would give me really great stack. His call is just absolutely absurd, but we have to remember that we want him to make the call. I shouted really loud words I cannot write in this blog, but believe me it wasn't pretty. My dog came upstairs, I think she thought I was calling her name to give her some food lol.
Anyway, I had some good stacks so plowed on, I got 2 big stacks, one in the Sunday Grand and one in the 5k on Party. I was 5 handed on party, locked up $35k and then had the most ridic hand I've played on an ft I think
My friends were telling me that they thought raise would look too strong, but I just know how these guys think and how they respond to playing vs me. River I kinda couldnt believe it, I thought I had misread the action or the board or the hands or something, just couldnt understand how he had called. Whatever though, again we need these guys to make these calls for us to be able to keep putting bread on the table
Also an important thing here is not being entitled, we have to remember the times that I won AQ v AK aip or 77 v AK for big pot etc, sure we may not get it in with such low equity, but even getting like AA v KK for chiplead is getting super lucky, whenever youre on an FT, everybody on the table including yourself has ran amazing to get there, unfortunately as humans we just remember the last hand more than the rest usually, and unless you win the tournament, you always fool yourself that your'e most unlucky guy, ofc its not true!
Anyway, one last table and had the $1k. 39 left, 31 paid, I guess average is like 30bbs, I open and get called by VAMO South American guy

I think flop is standard/vg, but turn I think is diceeeyyyyyyy, pot is just so huge though, so I guess we close our eyes and get it in, god knows though. Obviously kinda unfortunate, but guess I did get the majority of the money in dead.
On a scale of 0-100 I want to play tomorrow around about a 3/100. Lets see how I wake up though.
