Event 4, Day 1b update: Arrived plenty early to avoid Polizei traps and ensure a seat in the event. I start with a fairly soft table and recognize two players from the night prior (probably because I moved so frequently). Right off the he bat I resume being dealt 83o, 72o, etc. I got a few CO opens through to stay competitive. At 400/400/200 we're in SB (23k) with JJ, MP opens to 1k (average LAG middle age), HJ calls (soft spot, made some noticable errors), folds to me and I make it 4.5k, OR folds and HJ calls. Flop was A63 rainbow. We downbet flop as our range has many Ax to 2k, HJ calls. Turn Tx, ch/ch. River 9x.. pot is 10.9k, we have 16.5k and I think I handcuffed myself by not betting turn to set up a river shove, because betting 1.5x pot here seems like suicide. I elect to or evaluate. HJ shoves 11k (I misread his stack and thought he had more and should have definitely bet turn now)... I fold and get shown A7. And orbit later in BB I get AQs, UTG+1 opens to 1k, MP calls, HJ calls, BU calls... seems like a reasonable squeeze spot so make it 6.5k and only BU calls. Flop A92, we have pot size behind and rip it in... BU calls with AKo. GG
