Hey guys, first every post oand I am a regular Burswood player.
The play isnt great, that is a given. One hand in particular from last night on the 2/3 (Im a uni student and just play 2/3). Anyway, im relatively new to the table, know a few players. Unknown, though very arrogant young guy makes it 8 total from UTG. two calls to me OTB, I have 10's, bump it up to 25. He shoves for about 70 total. Im on about 90 and cover him. I call and he confidently turns over 2's... 2's FFS... And of course he turns his set...
Iv been going to Burswood for about 6 months now, would be up a fair bit in the long run. Have never had any luck in the tournaments, first one a Sapphire $60 that I ran 50/100, running into the bullets 3 times...
Second 56/70 that ended more or less on one hand. Blinds are 75/150, im on about 5500, villian about 5000. He raises from UTG+1 to 600, folds to me on the button, I have red 10's and call. Flop is 3
5
10
He bets 1000 and I insta shove... He tanks, eventually calls with kings, no spade and hits his two outer...
Third tournament also useless, about 58/100.
Main thing is a lot of the APL (Australian Poker League) players play these tournaments. I work for these guys organising free poker tournaments in pubs around the city and it is very hard at times to focus on your game, when every knows you, and sticks the boot in when you make a bad call, fold etc...
