So last we spoke I was in a points tourney as I had no money online. 400 plus players joined and I was fortunate to win 6th. The last hand (pic above) the one I got knocked out with was absolutely horrible and still today have a hard time believing that anyone that has made a final table would make this call! But I guess its a points tourney and even a blind squirrel can find a nut! After all my hard work I made 2 bucks for all my trouble.
When I got home I got home from work at like 2 in the morning, I decided to join a .60 cent tourney. First place was 2 bucks HEY I COULD DOUBLE MY BANKROLL!!
I did manage to get first in that tourney so now my bankroll was up to 4 bucks not bad from nothing.
Wile I was playing a friend of mine named Mike (not to be confused by the other Mike I have bloged about, from now on he will be named "young Mike") asked me If I would like him to stake me into a "big tourney" I naturally said sure and he deposited 100 on to party poker and provided me with his password.
When I logged into party there was no good tourneys going. I decided to play a $22 sit and go. I to 5th and played solid the whole time. In one particular hand I had 20 outs and missed, had I hit I'm sure this blog would be going in a different direction!
Well nothing was going on tourney wise so I joined a $50 cash table and watched a few hands. I noticed one guy in particular raising every hand so after a bit of this I decided to call with Jack king. The flop was king and 2 under cards of no significance. Naturally I check to the aggressive raiser. He offcourse bets and I promptly check raise him. Being the donkey he is he calls. I go allin on the turn he calls (with third pair) and I win a $90 hand.
Nice start but 2 hands later I get ak. I make it 3 bucks preflop and get 2 callers, one of them being the donkey of earlier. The flop is 66ace and buddy bets, donkey calls and I raise, they both flat call. The turn is a brick and I push. Buddy had a weak ace but the fucking donkey actually had 6-8 offsuit for trips (who calls 6 times the bb with 6-8?) any way I lost a big pot and am back down to $55
Not 2 hands later I get ak again. I make it 2.50 and get 2 callers once more one of them the donkey. Flop is ace 9 7 everyone checks to me and I bet. Then something interesting I get check raised and not by the donkey in question by a player that has been solid so far. He only raised me 4 bucks so I had to call. The turn was a brick and he insta pushes. I think for a bit, I think he has 2 pair or possibly a set. The only thing I'm beating is a weaker ace or a flush draw. I want to fold. I tell Mike (hes watching) I say "I'm gonna fold" hes like "naww hes bluffing call him" I really don't want to but its Mike's money. So I call and he shows me a set of 7s. Bang Im broke once more.
I played well with the exception of the last hand and I would have folded that had I not been told to call. Mike wants me to play "big tourneys" and I agree. Next time we will stick to that strategy! I am playing a $1 freezeout tourney right now on titan poker with my new found wealth my $4 I know I know "but Jamie is that not outside your bankroll" well yes it is but when your bankroll is $4 a freeroll is outside it!!
See ya all later
