Good luck with this Craig - would have had a couple of %s, but am too late.

I like your reasoning re the AA hand - think you had it spot on, and it"s actually a fairly trivial fold in the scheme of things.

Straight on to the feature table. Day 1  level 1.
Don"t expect interesting poker at this stage  :-)

Hand showing at 2.55pm :
Player in seat one with the bet sizing tell over bets preflop because he doesn"t want to see an ace.
I call in position.
Ace high flop. He c-bets .I min raise to 900 . But he as hit the set
Sigh  :-(

[Zozzy]

Can"t remember my holding
But irrelevent

[Zozzy]

The limped pot I played badly no excuses. That was a terrible board texture for me to lead out, OOP
Ended up hoping he hadn"t hit his straight on the turn in a limped pot. Poorly played hand by me.
Even if it had been a raise pre it wouldn"t have made any difference with this opponent.
he is sat to my right, he has the biggest vpip and he is opening a wide range.
I want to put this hand down to experience  

[AMRN]

you"ve got a great seat - the two to your right are playing very loose, and Seat 2 is classic loose/passive.

guy in seat 4 is a rock!  oh wait, that"s you

He called your lead out on the flop (7,8,5) with J4o when you had K7, then bet river with just bottom pair.

TV table at 11.10pm  with  29k.

Just lost a 36k pot with KK  v JJ   all in pre

Just lost a 36k pot with KK  v JJ   all in pre

This hand was at the end of level 8 with one hour to go.  blinds 400/800 25 .
A new player moved to our table raised to 2k utg+1 , it folded round to me on the button with KK I raise to 5,100. He tanks and then shoves the remainder of his 18k stack. I call but lost the hand.


I took 29k to the camera table for the last hour.
For anyone that watched it I thought the only hand I could have played better was when I had open-ended and flush draw with one card to come. My big stack bully opponent to my right bet 2,500 . I had 20k at this point and was undecided whether to shove or call. My natural instinct is to shove here but I elected to call and give up on the river but in hindsight I think I made the wrong choice because he could have had any two cards.
I welcome any criticism or comments from my play seen on livestream. It can only help me in the long run.

I am taking 18,800 back on Day Two which is a bit disappointing after peaking at 70k. The Big Blind is 1k.
Thanks to everyone who has taken an interest either by staking or railing.
I will do my best to win this tournament.
Thanks again
Craig
