played the first two tournaments of package of package A this weekend (wsop 1k and the wsop 1.5k).
In short, i unfortunately busted them both before the money.
In the 1.5k on saturday i had a very good start and ran my stack up to 32k till the dinner break. In the next level though, someone turned the doomswitch on and i lost 5 aipfs with ~ 20 bbs effective each in lp vs btn/sb/bb where i opened and got reshoved on: AQ vs AK twice, then again AQ vs TT, AJ vs 88 and finally KQ vs AK to bust around 400th...
In sunday's 1k i reached the dinner break with about a 12 k stack which was slightly above average. Then i got moved to a rediculously tough table for a 1k, with westmenloAA on my direct left which luckily broke after 50 minutes and i went into the next break with 15k.
At 300/600/75 i called a ~12 bb shove w KK and lost vs TT. Finally shipped QJs in MP for my last 7k and lost to AK to bust ~310th, 70 places before the money bubble.
I keep all the tourney receipts which i can provide pictures of on request. Any other suggestions on how to prove i played are welcome, eg could also take pictures of my stack or whatever. For those two tourneys Amir Lehavot and Sorel Mizzi saw me play there respectively and i think they'll be happy to vouch for me that i played.
Anyways, felt very comfortable at the tables (besides the 50 minutes at that super though table tbh) and happy with my game so results aside it was a very good start imo.
Tomorrow starts the 1k at Binions which i'm really looking forward to (Package B).
I'll try to give you updates at least the results at the end of the day. Hope that's ok for you guys, i'm not a big fan of updates during breaks as i want to make max use of my breaks and the wifi isn't always working for me.
Just busted the wsop 1.5k. Had 5.5k after first break and again one of the softer tables. At 75/150 i opened AQo utg+1 w ~ 5k stack, 12 bb stack jams in MP w QJo and gets there. After that pretty much in reshove mode for the next two hours or so, can pick some spots to maintain ~ 20 bb stack.
At 100/200/25 got moved to another table, open/folded once during 2 orbits when my bustout hand takes place. I have 4100 chips in SB w 92s. Folds to the Btn, older guy with about 5k who opens to 525 and i jam (not a std reshove, but had a physical read that he was weak and went with it). BB who has both of us covered, tanks and shoves ATo, BTN folds and i cannot improve.
Played the 1k Aria on sunday. At 150/300/25 - Utg opens to 600 (13k), i flat KK Utg+1 (14k), CO who has us both covered flats too, everyone else folds. Flop KJThhx. Utg cbets 1200, i call, CO raises to ~6k. Utg shoves and i shove too. CO tanks for a while and finally calls with 85hh, Utg had AKo. River 2h and im out after ~ 4 hrs...
The 1k at Binions got a small field yesterday - only 74 players. I was out in 23rd place (top 7 got paid). Had a few interesting hands there, might post them later if anyone's interested.
0/6 so far total - trying to turn ot around tomorrow at the golden nugget...
Did not play the $1100 at the Golden Nugget today and will obviously refund you guys with MU for this tourney.
I was really looking forward to play this, but i had to change Hotels this morning and would have been late for the start of the tournament. Also not feeling very well today and have some stomach problems, so i decided it is best to not play and refund your Investments.
