Session 21
Turbo SG $20, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.
Going for a Turbo SG. First hand AK. A raise before me to 100, and two call after. 73Q flop, try to bluff the pot, did not work. Two went all-in with flush draw and three of a kind (QQ)… Second time now in a short period I’m up against trip Queens on flop. Down to 1k in first hand.
Going to need some patient now. Looking for a pocket pair or AK to go all-in with.
Hmm, ok 98 suited go for a call… someone raise to 260 after me. I fold, he had A8 suited. So bad…
The same guy (prajanek) above goes all-in against to two other players already commited their chips with JK vs 99 and JJ. Of course he wins, now he has 5k. So bad.
Maybe we can exploit his bad calls with a well played all-in. Should either slow play him or go all-in preflop. Never the less, I need the cards to play with and some luck.
Raise with QK suited in late position, two players comes along. Flop: AK2. A raise, I fold… Damn A.
Prajanek hits a straight on river.
All-in as SB with A8. Blinds at 50/100, one caller before me. Both folds. Chip count 900
AK, raise to 300. Everyone folds.
Hand after, AA. Slow play, 100 only bb check. flop 66Q. Pot size bet 250. BB folds… Maybe pushed to hard there, only a BB player. Chip count 1200.
All-in won against Prajanek! Played him exactly as I should, letting him do the betting. Called a raise with 7Q. Flop 372. Perfect! Now I have him, I check, and a raise from him. I go all-in with not much left. And won, he had something like JK. Chip count 2500.
Another all-in won! Chip count 4k. Going great now.
Fast paced game. Hard to log at the same time.
Prajanek going broke now. All-in A6 vs 1010 preflop.
Blinds at 200/400, five players left. Chip count 3,3K
Prajanek again, all-in with 710 vs JJ vs A2 (small stack). JJ won and I earned the money!
Pretty even field.
Ok, two left. 2,5K vs 12,5K…
Lol I won! That was a great one. First busted him with a pair of Aces I think on the flop, I check and he bluffed with 800. I went all-in with like only 1,5K left. He called and we where nearly even. After that I got KK, and slow played him. Well, he hit two pair on the flop QJ but I got a pair on the board (river). Lucky one, but as usual you need that to win a tournament.
Summary: Very happy with this one. Really liked my play against Prajanek, saw from the beginning his lose play. Taking the chance against him really paid of, and that made my tournament. A very fast one with much action.
