Day 1 Update:
Summary:
First 3 hours I was INSANELY card dead. But I kept cool and did nothing silly. VPIPed once in the 1st 30mins where it would usually be 40-50%.
1st double up:
So after 4ish hours i was on 20k at i think t400. I open 88 UTG
Folds to BB who calls. Flop t85r. he checks i bet slightly less than half pot. He check calls.
Turn is A, probably 4 suits now. I decide to bet around 80% because I dont think he folds much Tx and i am trying to set up a rvr pot jam (which I can now do) He can also have turned top pair or 2pr. I also want to look like I am "pushing him off a hand" etc. In reality i rep thinnish but w/e
he check jams
I snap
he flips 77. he gee gees.
15 mins later. I open J9ss MP1. CO calls BB call. both players seem like regs.
flop: 67Tssc.
I check because I dont want to 3bt the flop amongst other things. MP bets 1/3 pot. Bb calls. I call.
Turn is Qs!
BB checks. I decide If i lead here I rep VERY thin (AQ + flushes) i am also very aware I can lose **** tons of vlaue from 1 pr hands and combos if i check . I bet about 70% pot. This leaves slightly under pot OTR if both call. slightly over if one calls.
MP calls. BB folds River bricks. I jam
MP goes into the tank. 1 minute later asks if set of 6's is good. I say i dunno or something vaugue. Once minute later he calls with 89s for the flopped straight.
Once minute later he has blown.
I get moved table then start picking up hands. I get KK in great spot V agrro reg but take it down pre. sigh. This happensa a few times. I pick up monsters and win min.
am on about 65k at t1000.
Then get moved tables. pick up AA, win med pot OTF.
then I defend T7o to CO open and SB whale call.
flop Q72cc
i x/c
turn is 3 x/x
river brings flush with a 5. I value bet/blocker bet as lots of Ax air now has 1 pr imo
He nitrolls Qx.
This is a bit fustrating. i then whittle in unavoidable spots. But i keep my head. I dont spew. I dont level.
Not at any point today did my ego try and make me outplay anyone. I didn't force spots despite getting 73o for 4 hours. I didn't tilt. I didn't 3bt unknowns in bad spots or without a reason. I didn't take ****ed up lines. Didn't try and bluff the guy who nit trolled me later . I think i played well today.
Conclusion:
Made day 2 with 38k.
Day 2 starts with 800/1600.
I think i played maybe 9/10 today.
I know what i doing with 20BB and i mean business on day 2.
Going for beers now with my best mate from home. Wil chill tomorrow and put my rape shoes on again saturday!
ty for the support.
