After yesterday, I'm feeling a little put off, so I'm in a way taking a break today. I'm going to play some 9 person sit & goes, and see how I fare. This used to be my specialty, I was a solid limit hold'em player and a solid NL hold'em tournament player. As of late I've turned my attention to NL cash games, so this is going to be a nice sort of vacation/break from the grind of cash games. Maybe stroke my ego a bit if I can pull off a couple wins. While I'm keeping these games seperate from my cash game for the purposes of graphing, I am going to take my final bankroll at face value for purposes of my progress towards or away from moving up to the next level of play at NL.
Here's how this has started, and let me warn you now, it isn't pretty.
Tournament #1)
This is my first hand played for the tourny. I bump it up and got the one caller. Took it down with a cbet on the flop of about 1/2 the pot.
Here's my 2nd hand played. 66 and I raise it up utg, the guy on the button has been very loose and wild, so his re-raise doesn't phase me in the least. We get it all in and he shows JTo.
This is why we don't gamble with idiots.
And here we find my first and last hand of my 2nd Tournament today. In the big blind 2 limped in, I made a sizeable raise of twice the current pot, and both call again. On the flop I bet 1/2 the pot, the TT goes all in for a little more, 76 calls, I reshove all in and 76 calls with an open ended straight draw. He then proceeds to hit another 6 on 4th and then complete his straight as well on the river as though to say, eff off aces. After this flop I'm only a slight favorite agains his hand. It's 54% to 46%, so his call wasn't really bad, just sucky. On to more tournaments!!!
