Not a good night last night, unfortunately a bad start to the series so far.
I bust early on, I didn't play many hands then got half my stack in against a short stack with TpTk, against his big draw, which got there - sigh.
I then bust the rest of my stack on a bluff raise, when the villains line made no sense. In hindsight, despite the fact his line made no sense, and he should have no value hands, I don't know hes good enough to have any bluffs here, and I can wait for a better spot.
I re-entered and was sa to the right on Mr Hesp. I was soon all in again, in fact my very first hand after re-entry!!!
I did have aces full though, and got paid off, so I now had 75k.
Unfortunately, I could not get much going for the remainder of the night, Iran up to around 100k, but then lost a few pots.
One where, againt he villains line made zero sense, but knowing him, he has absolutely zero bluffs, so i found a fold, to keep mself alive, even if on life support.
I doubled soon after, with AT v KQ, and picked up a few more blinds to get back to 80k, with the average at 109k, with 22 left.
A fairly active reg opened UTG +1, 7 handed, and I have AJ, i contemplate my options before moving in on him. He tanks for a long time, before eventually calling, and having AQ -
Back on it again tonight, 40 + 20 AO +7, in Grosvenor Hull, hoping for some run good, and take it down.
One positive to come from the evening, having a long talk with John Hesp about the Main Event experience, and I can really see why everyone out there loved him, what a nice guy!
