Another day 2...yay!
Well...I made another day 2, this time in a $2000 nl mtt. I ended the day with 33,400 chips, with average being 31000. There were a few key hands that were important that I guess ill type out.
About 40 minutes into the tourney, with 25/25 blinds, the guy in 1st position makes it 225...from my experience, this means he has jj or tt. Anyways, I find KK and make it 900, knowing he is going to call me. He does and the flop comes Axx. He checks, I push for my last 1100 and he folds his TT face up, like it was a huge fold. Looking back on this hand, I might should have checked, hoping to induce a bluff on the turn but thats a little risky.
A while later, I had 4000 chips in the bb in 150/300. I was in the bb with A9. The button, who has been stealing my blinds often, raised to 900, so I pushed. He thought for about 3 seconds then called with A8...I didnt lose, so I had 8000 chips....
Next hand...I had about 7000 in the bb with KJ. This total idiot raises to 1800 in 300/600/50. Actually, I didnt know he was an idiot til this hand. I dont know why he decided to come out of his shell at this time. Anyways, He raised to 1800 and I push. he instacalls the other 5000 with 65s. It was kinda funny cause as soon as he called I said "I was kidding" and turned my cards face up. He said "I dont think so" and turns up his 6 high. I manage to somehow win this hand too.
From that point, I just pillage the blinds a little and make a few resteals with pretty good cards. Nothing really went that bad, except for early in the tourney when I lost 2 coin flips in a row. I was up to 12000 but lost a flip for 6000 then another one for 3000, putting me down to 3000. I played good though and grinded back up.
I dont know if im going to play many more events. I only have $12000 left here, which is just enough to play most of the cheaper events. If I happen to final table this event tomorrow I will obviously play the bigger ones though.
As for sngs, there are a bunch of total idiots that play the $215s and 530s. Usually these are fairly competent players in other forms of poker but dont understand how sngs work. The typical notes I have on people read something like this..."calling station fish idiot on bubble, 300 in level 3 from co is foldable. Normal raise from sb is unfoldable Q9 hu." Obviously I use lots of short hand, but I find that these fairly descriptive notes are helpful when I have close decisions.
Ok...im going to sleep. Ill post again tomorrow after I make a final table.
