Todays field was actually smallish for a $340 getting only 650 players. Unfortunately, I wasnt around even close to long enough to making a dent in the field. We started with 12000 chips today.
Level 1: 50-100. We got to the tournament a little late and because of this, I did not play a hand in this level. With the blinds I dropped down to 11850 for the next level.
Level 2: 75-150. I made it 350 with KQss from UTG +2, the SB called, the BB 3-bet to 600, and we both called. The flop came KT4, the raiser lead for 1000, and I was the only caller. The turn came a 7, he bet 2200 of his remaining 4200, I put him all in for just 2000 more, and he called with AK. The river came a blank and I had lost 1/2 my stack on the 1st hand I played and was down to around 6000. I dont know I guess I could be folding the turn but the 3-bet size preflop really was a strange line for AK. Why is he bloating the pot OOP with a hand that doesnt necessarily flop well? I guess he can hit flops with AK so that is why this raise is profitable. Anyways, after this hand I was able to go on a decent run to get alot of my chips back. A player UTG +1 made it 300 and I called in the BB with 87o. The flop came 754 and I check/called 500. Turn came a T giving me a double gutter, I checked, and he checked behind. The river came a 6, I bet 1000, and he folded. The cutoff opened to 400 and I 3-bet from the button to 1125 with AQo. He called and the flop came Q98. He checked, I bet 1500, and he folded. I made it 350 in MP with A7cc, got 3 callers, and folded on a J87 flop. I limped in MP with A3ss, the button made it 625, and I called. The flop came KT6, I checked, and he checked behind. The turn came the 7s giving me the nut flush draw. I blocker bet 400, and he called. The river came an offsuit 5, and I just gave up checked. He checked behind and showed QTcc for 2nd pair that he is never folding. I was at 7050 and we went to the next level.
Level 3: 100-200. I limped UTG +2 with T8dd, several other people limped behind me, the BB made it 1000, and I folded. A player in EP made it 450, got 2 calls from other players, and I moved all in from the SB for 6000 with ATdd resulting in everyone folding. I made it 450 from the cutoff with JJ and the button, SB, and BB called. The flop came 973, the BB lead for 600, I made it 2000, and everyone folded. Just like that I was back up to 10k or so and nearing my starting stack. I limped with 22 from UTG +1, a player in MP made it 700, another player in MP called, the button called, and I called as well. The flop came T82 2 clubs, I checked, the raiser bet 1300, both of the callers called, and I moved all in for my ~9k or so. The raiser tank folded, the first caller super tank folded, and the last caller snap called showing 88 for a higher set. I did not hit my 1 outer and was busted before 1st break for the first time at the venetian this summer. ladkjfla;sjfdsl. I am obviously getting it in no matter what here but how can people call behind with a set there when the board is so ridiculously draw heavy. Just a cooler I guess.
I took some weird lines today, limping to open the action more than I usually do but was never able to get much traction in the tournament after losing a big pot in the 1st hand I played. Hopefully next time will be better.
