sweating kobe in 10 rebuy
hi phil
Updates from the 06 WSOP.
I'm currently in AC for the Borgata Poker Open. My last trip to Turning Stone wasn't very successful so I'm trying really hard this time to show a decent profit. I've played 3 tournaments so far, a 500, an 800, and a 1600.
I've never run so hot in my life. I'm playing my absolute best but variance is definately on my side right now. Every play is working, every card is hitting, and every read is spot on. I've had a sick amount of cashes since getting back home.
I busted out of the 2000 PL event before the first level even ended haha. I had worked my stack up to 2150 when I limped in UTG with AhTh. I didnt want to raise it and give someone a chance to have a bigger pot size bet available so I played it safe. An older man made it 125 from MP which he had done about 4 or 5 times so far with hands like K9 suited and A7 suited. A player called on the button, the blinds folded, and I called. The flop came down As 8h 5h. I thought about betting out but he was pretty good about a continuation bet on the flop and I thought a pot sized c/r could get him off a hand like AJ. I checked, he bet 150ish, the button folded, and I put a pot sized raise in. He thought for a few seconds and went all in for like 200 more. He had A5d, which was actually great to see. I had 3 8s, 3 Ts, and 9 hearts to scoop it but the board bricked out.
I didnt get much sleep at all during the 2500 NL event but even still I got up to play in the 1000 NL today. Me and JC got in as alternates with about 5 minutes left to go in the 2nd level, roughly 2 hours late. With only 1500 starting chips and blinds at 50/100 I wanted to double up or get the hell out of there. I got my stack up to 2200 at one point.
I can't really describe how it feels to win such a massive amount of money. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it right now but I don't want to worry about right now.
