Attempt number 2 at a Gukpt sat resulted in disappointment again tonight, card and spot dead with 10 bigs got 2 shoves through to chip up a bit but after matey boy min raises at 600/1200 I look down at pocket
he has about 13 bigs left I shove hoping he can fold his rag ace hands, if he has a pair I can bink a set, alas the might of A7 is too good to fold and the 77 flop saw my demise, oh well at least it wasn"t the bubble like last week.
In last weeks game was going along nicely and was in a decent position until I doubled up 3 shorties pushes, all with decent equity both pre and post flop.
I was in 3rd place when the fish at the table limps at 2k/4k and shoves his 10 high into the big blinds trip
, which he had let him see for free, this put me in third and prob cost me a seat, tbh it was who was going to get the fishes chips which would determine 2cd place, I ended pushing 77 into AK and didn"t win that flip.
Also bubbled the Sunday night game AQ v KQ v 88 for 90 k and the chip lead, alas no ace from space for me and Betty scooped the lot, glad she got it and not the KQ, this left me with 5k blinds 2k/4k and I was in the big blind, I actually got a walk which made me chuckle but hey ho chip and a chair and all that, pushed blind next hand and Betty tanked for a while in the big blind, she only had to call 4k I think, she eventually called with 10 2, she had to call with any 2 tbh, but the annoying thing was another player got involved by attempting to tell her what to do, I did say no coaching you are not involved in the hand I had 4 5 and binked a 4 so got a double up, then ran a9 into A10 we both hit our respective kickers and that was that, no mention or asking for bubble payment which I am ok with as I wanted to win the thing not get my £30 back thats gone as far as I am concerned.
Spent a bit too much on live poker in the last few weeks so need to curb it a little, it"s all covered by previous wins so it"s not as if I am putting us in the poor house or anything like that, just have to be careful.
I may have one more sat attempt next week, I would like to play the Gukpt as its on my doorstep but not paying the full £550, if I don"t play the main probs do a side event but will decide that later on. I will have a look online to see if any sats are currently running on their site and see if it"s worth having a dabble on there.
Had a decent run online I have made 5 final tables so far this month on tilt but have been unable to take one down, the early fiddy today I got to the ft with 25 bigs but couldn"t get the elusive double to 50 bigs, eventually shoving 18 bigs with 10 10 and the chip leader wakes up with AK, even if I min raise AK always going to 3 bet and never folding in that spot so get it in good is all you can do after that the rng does its thing.
It would of been nice to even ladder up one more place as this would of got the roll on Tilt up to $3k, as it is it"s currently $2888, happy with how that is going and with a bit of variance on my side it could of been a lot healthier but it is what it is.
Run good, be lucky stay healthy.
