Playing again

Well I have started playing again... I got 4th last night in a 2 table sng... $21 win... more to come as I play more and figure out what to say again lol

FINAL TABLE

So I played an $8 2 rebuy and 1 add on tourney last night, 250 people with 315 rebuys and about 50 add ons, I didnt rebuy till break and I took the add on. I ended up taking down 7th place for $180. I was doing really good at the final table till we got back from break and my QQ raise got repushed by AK on the button and of course he hit the king... I went out a few hands later with k10, I raised early and the chip leader pushed over the top with a9 suited, we both missed I got knocked out.

Speaking of k10, I wanted to post a note on 2 k10 hands i played earlier in the tourney.

I had these k10 offsuites back to back hands.
The 1st one I was 3 to the left of the BB at an 8 handed table, blinds 400/800 100 ante. I raised to 2400, with a SUPER tight image, everyone folds. The very next hand I get k10 again, I get a feeling inside that someone is going to raise after me so I elect to fold. The button who has 56k and the tourney leader at this point makes it 2k to go so I am glad I chose to fold and not have to try and play a k10 outacked and out of position.

Interesting...

UTG+1 limps, folds around to me on the button, I raise it to $1, SB folds, BB folds and the limper calls.

FLOP 374 rainbow.

Limper fires $1.50, I call

TURN 10

Limper fires $2, at this point I think my hand is good so I push $17.05 in the middle.

He calls after maybe 5 seconds of thought.

RIVER 8

He shows 2d 7d, for a pair of 7s, I had KK

Not playing much

I havent been playing in the last week or so, no real reason why I am avoiding the tables. I have been working around the yard and playing lots of video games so that might have something to do with it.

Seeing red

.10/.25 $25 buy in cash game

Folded to me on the button I limp in, SB calls, BB checks.

FLOP 7h 8h 9s SB checksBB FIRES $4, I insta call, SB folds.

TURN 5h, BB bets $1.25, I think, call time, then smooth call.

RIVER 8d, BB fires out $6, but before he could bet I had typed "?" so that I would be ready when he did bet and when he did I hit enter, I then moved my bet slider to $18, a little more then he had left, I wait till time comes, then I fire it in.

BB had 99

I had 4h 6h

$42 pot

Crazy

Interesting hand I played last week... stakes were .25/.50, this was online I sat with $50 I think.

I am on the button, with 33, 3 players limp in front of me so I decide to limp in too, the sb folds, and the BB checks.
FLOP 8s 3c Ah, checks around.
TURN 2d... this is where it gets fun.
BB checks, next to act bets $1.50 into a $2.50 pot, cut off reraises to $5... ok my head is working overtime at this point...
I RE-reraise to $10.50, the BB pushes for $17.45 and I start thinking no way someone has 54...
original raiser folds, the cut-off thinks and think and thinks, and calls the $17.45.
I push all n for $63.55, cut off insta calls
RIVER 4d

BB has 54 off
Cut-off 22
I had 33

I scoop $92, bb scoops $53... super glad I repushed on the turn, I dont think the cut-off can call once that river makes 4 to a st8 on the board...

Later that night I played an $11 5k guarantee tourney... got 51st out of 872 for $21.80... blah, but I keep going deep in these larger field tournies...

Deep run in $27.50 80k guarantee

Well I finished 171st out of 2043 people. I busted myself, it was stupid, it really was... I had 55 late position, I told myself to fold so I limped in. Button then raises it to 3400ish. Why did I call his raise... I decided he had overs... he had been pushing me around a little before this... so the board was like 10 8 3, I push... He has AA... I win $61.29... I really had no reason to play 55 this deep in the tourney... lesson learned...

I am happy with my play besides that. I played tight and smart, got lucky a couple of times but thats how it goes... The tourney was 8k for 1st. BTW
