So, as I stated in my previous post, I finished third in the Borgata Weekly $340 on Saturdays, last week. Below is the hand anthology (the notes I kept) from that tourney. I played this week also and chopped the tournament. I really feel that I played optimally and I got lucky at the right times (like after immediately getting unlucky). I am excited to cash in more tourneys and have more victories under my belt.
So here are the hand histories from the November 17th Borgata Tourney:
Key:
R = Raise
UTG= Under the Gun, 1st pos after BB
BB= Big Blind
SB = Small Blind
HJ = Hi Jack
CO = Cutoff
RR = Reraise
CR = Check Raise
OS = off suit
B= Button
$340 buy in, 135 people to start, 10k in Chips.
Round 1 Blinds, 25-50
3rd hand of tourney QJ os in the SB. late pos R to 250, I defend and BB calls. 3 way action. Flop is K 6 10. I chk, bb chk, Rer cont bets 600. I call, BB calls. Turn is 9s. I lead out for 800, bb makes it 2400, R folds, I RR to 5500. BB pushes. I figure we have same hand or he has set, I call obv, he has K4 os, drawing dead gift for me, up to 22k after this hand.
Round 2 50-100
A few orbits later, I have 22 in the bb. A weird guy limped in late pos, I complete, we take the pot 4 way. Flop is A 7 9, checks around. Turn is K, checks to weak guy, he bets min, I call. One other caller. River is 9. I check, it checks around. Weird guy has JJ. ?? And he was never folding if Ibet, or anyone else bet on any street. My instinct was to raise the turn, but I wouldve lost the hand. Once I check the flop, he believes his JJ is the nuts.
Round 3 100-200/and Round 4 100-200 25ante
Weird guy raises in the CO. I call on the B with Jd6d. I have been playing raise or fold, very little calling. But I felt like this would be a good oppty to take a pot away from a weak player. Flop comes out K 8 3 rainbow. He bets min, I fold disgusted and he shows K5 os, nice hand min raiser.
Ks10s 2nd pos, I like raising in this position. I R to 600, tight tight chic pushes for 1750 more. I want to call bc I am big stack but I know that I am way dominated and if I am lucky its 60 40, but most likely I have three outs, either way. I folded, questionable fold here considering my stack size.
Ac6c limp, with possible limp/RR plan, but there was a R and a RR after,, so I fold preflp.
J10 hh in bb. B limps, SB completes, three way. SB is tight player and does not get tricky, very straightforward. 335 flop with 2 spades. SB checks, I bet 350 thinking this is a good oppty to win sm pot. B folds and SB acts a bit and raises to 1200, I fold saying I had flush draw and he shows me 36 os. NH.
A4 os on button. Now I have categorized each player at my table as LF (limp fold to raise) or LCR (limp call raise). 3 limpers in front of me, all are LF. I raise to 900, they all fold,I win pot.
55 HJ, R and all fold. I win pot.
Big hand for me. 3c4c. One limper, I limp in middle pos. The button, a knowledgeable player, capable of thinking on more levels than most in this tourney raises the button to 725. He always raises UTG and B so he can have any range of hands. Limper folds. I have big stack and decided to out play this guy after the flop if the situation permits. I check dark. Flop comes out J 8 5, one club. He checks behind, which gives me a lot of information. I know that he has nothing and he is worried I hit the flop. The only hand he can have on that board with his check, based on his style is a set. But I doubt that he had a pair on the B that connected wtih the flop- that would be lucky. Turn is 6 cl giving me a gut shot and a fl draw. I lead out for 800 into 1600 pot. He raises to 2k without thinking. I know he is raising on a move. I insta call. River is complete rag. I lead out for 3400 knowing he can't call, and he insta mucks. That was an earned pot. Up to 31k after this hand.
K8suited bb, fold to an all in.
KJ os sb , fold to a raise by tight player.
Round 5 200-400 50 ante
KQ 3rd pos, raise, all fold, win pot. Played no other hands this round.
Round 6 300-600, 75 ante
Q2 os on B. 2 limpers, I raise to 2400, all fold, nice pot.
A5 hh, limp in middle pos with one other limper. Flop comes all hearts. Checks around. I bet turn, all fold. I show for credit.
Will finish post tomorrow.
