Mini TR: (Well we'll see if it's a mini when I'm done typing)
Went out to Snookers for the $30 7pm tourney. It had 81 runners and was paying $680 for first.
Made a bad read during the 2nd round. Called a river bet when the 3rd heart hit thinking he was repping the flush for 3k. Took me down to 4800. Shortly after I moved tables.
I get to the new table with 4200. Started picking up pots on the flop with cbets without any problems then this happened. Blinds are 200/400 and villain raises to 1200. I call from the CO with 66 and button calls. Flop is 743dd. Villain c-bets for 1200 as both of us call. River is another 4. Villain checks, I bet out for 3k which is half my stack. Button folds and villian calls. River is a deuce and villain tanks for a minute and looks like he's shoving and is real uncomfortable. Finally he checks and I check back. I take the pot as he had AK.
So after the hand he says, "If i shove do you fold?" which I responded "hell ya!". (setup)
About an orbit later I pick up 77 and call the same Villain's 1200 bet IP. Same type of flop 965r. He cbets as usual and I call. He checks the 3 on the turn and I bet out the same 3k as he calls. Turn is a 2 and he insta shoves for 7200. I tank for about a min and start counting out the call which was about a 1/3 of my stack and decide to call. He shows AT.
I win the next 4 hands with JJ, 76s, AK and ATs and have 45,100 at the break.
Not too much happens later. I lost a pot when we were down to 18 when I rr shoved top and bottom against middle pair and it goes DD for the flush for him which knocked me down to 10bbs. Lots of uncontested shoves later and we're at the FT and I have 7bb.
Pick up AA and KK and which really just keeps me at the 8-10bb for most of the FT. Then we are down to 3 and I 3bet AI with AKo and chip leader calls with A3 and I double up. I'm up to about 320k and 15k/30k blinds. I pick up T5s in the SB against the chip leader and raise to 75k. He calls and the flop is JTx. I shove and he snaps with QJ and I go home in 3rd for $280.
I'm tired. Should probably stick to tourneys but I know my dumb ass will go out to Snookers today for the free lunch.
