Played the noon daily at the Horseshoe in Tunica yesterday. $65 entry and $1200 Guaranteed. There were 27 entrants and top 3 got paid.
Ran good. Got down to the final 4 and me and an 90 year old gentleman were the two big stacks. Agreed to a 4 way chop. Big stacks got $350 each and shorties each got $250.
Once we finished there, I had about 2 hours before the next tournament. Stopped and did some major damage to their buffet. Prime Rib was overcooked but I devoured lots of crab legs and crawfish. Waddled back to the poker room to register for the next tournament.
I guess once a month or so they have a big $50,000 guarantee tournament. Entry was ony $165. 3 Starting flights, 12K in chips and 30 minute levels with day 2 playing out on Sunday. There were 179 entrants for the Friday night flight and everyone surviving through level 12 moved on to day 2.
I played really well in this one for about the first 7 levels. Had about 40,000 in chips and was feeling really good. Flopped a flush draw, bet the flop, turn hard, missed and then barreled the river. Thought my opponent would fold, I was wrong and his call with middle pair got him half my stack....
Not sure what happened after that. My energy was zapped, it was a long day of poker. I completely lost my mind and played like an untrained donkey. Made terrible calls and even though I still had a healthy stack, over the next hour or so I just donked it off. Was disappointed with myself.
Really got me thinking about preparing myself physically and not just mentally. Diet and exercise with proper sleep will help. Need to get into the lab and study the most GTO health strategy
Today, I have a load and I can drive and extra 170 miles and be back in time to nap a bit and play the last starting flight this evening and give it another go. Pretty sure that is what I am going to do, will update soon.
