11.7k when registered (stack had been blinded off)
(limits for many of the MTTs were so low in comparison to the starting stack sizes; even if you are running well in the first 3-6 levels did not really increase stack all that much.
additionally, showing up late doesn't really affect stack that much...)
In ideal world, limit tournaments should start out much shallower (20 big bets?) and limits move up slower; thus, penalize late people + allow the first couple hours to be non-trivial
level of 2
stack = 10.625k
-------------------
level 5
limped pot - 5 players
seat 1: (KK)KJ79(9)
seat 5: (2s2c)3hAd4h2d(2h)
seat 8: (8dJd)7d9dtd2c(8c) <---hero
4th street - 1 bet and 3 callers
5th street - 2 players fold once I raise.
i accidentally only raised once on 5th; one other player reraised after me; the dealer misheard my reraise as a call instead of capping that street
6th street - hero bets out and got callers from other 2 players
river
hero bets
seat 1 raises
seat 5 calls
hero reraises
seat 1 reraises
seat 5 calls
hero caps
seat 1 calls
seat 5 calls
hero shows Jh straight flush
seat 5 shows quad deuces (had a234, but couldn't catch low on river)
seat 8 shows kings full of jacks (likely put first person on a low when capping every street)
boards:
We were wondering where the photographer was. Throughout most of the tournaments, there was a photographer taking shots of people and selling them in plaques. Well, at least I had my camera on my phone...
This was definitely a hand worth remembering! Unfortunately, this was not the Orleans casino, where a stud game could win the bad beat jackpot!
analysis:
can't really blame person with kings full; seat 5 may have just had a made low and I could have just had a flush instead of straight flush.
I did lose 4-6 bets of value since I could not jam 5th street
(I also took a photo of the hand)
end of level 6:
25.2k
-----------
scooped a pot 4 handed with (34)562xx
dinner break - level 9
27.85k
---------------------
limped pot
bet on 6th pot
(xx)jtjt
(xx)4242
(a4)aqq8
i fold aces up, thinking i was behind to a boat
analysis:
this was probably a mistake. the player with jtjt looked surprised and bet out. likely, player did not have a boat....
--------
level 12
villain: (xx)As8sQhJs(x)
hero: (3h4d)6d5h7d5d(3d)
action - heads up
villain raises
hero calls
4th: villain bets/hero calls
5th: villain bets/hero calls
6th: hero bets/villain raises/hero calls
villain shows: ace high flush + 8 low
hero shows: 7 high straight flush + 7 low
hero scoops!
analysis:
at the time, i don't think i even looked at my river card
dealer noticed i had a straight flush + 7 low and scooped the other guy with an ace high flush + 8 low
Hero slows down b/c he could get scooped with flush/better low on 6th
hero felt he had lock for low and didn't even look at river (ie: crying call b/c pot was so huge)
hero did not realize he had outs to straight flush, hero misread hand, nor did he know if he had a lock for low
hero has about 55k, but limits are fairly high (about 8 big bets left)
-------------------------
i did not have very many playable hands or stealing opportunities
possible stealing spot that i passed on:
(a6)4 with ace/6 dead - folded
this was a marginal fold, i probably should have raised...there were a couple low dead cards, but it could have been spot to get it in even with ace and 6 dead
----------------
with 3 tables to go
moved to same table as Barbara Enright
----------------
anted off at the end as there were no playable situations and/or steal situations as my stack dwindled below 1 L (4.5 BB)
was down to 10 antes (1 big bet)
anted 500 of 5k
2 bring in at 1k each
was all in as ante
sweated - didn't turn up any down cards until after showdown (to make things amusing)
ksas|t883(9d)
1 of 2 other players had pair of kings
hero is out
---------------------
out in 16th/67? (maybe 63)
bustout time: approximately 12:00AM
I definitely missed a LOT of value in spots (specifically, the 2 straight flush hands, probably the spot with one board with 2 pair showing etc...). This was definitely a great candidate to cash as many of the players were playing like stud hi and/or had no idea what they were doing. There were a good chunk of players who played high limits online and/or the WSOP Stud/8 event.
summary 1: lol straight flushes (*2)
why couldn't this be a cash game so I could have a piece of the Bad Beat jackpot!
