hi guys,well it has been quite a good day for me i must,i stuck to my gameplan and it has worked well.
there were,i think,2816 registered players and 297 paid.
4500 starting chips and hourly blinds.
after about an hour and 3/4 with not having much of anything i get A/A .raise 3 x BB get 1 caller,flop is 9/4/4,i have raised it and caller re-raises, i push and he goes into think-tank,eventually calls and shows J/J a nice double up.
after the 2nd break i am sitting with just over 9k,nothing of note happened during that session,just kept stealing the odd blinds to keep my stack up.
session 3.
10 minutes into session 3 i have doubled up again when my J/J beat 6/6.
bit further in i have A/K,fairly loose player shoves and i call.
he has 8/8 and i river the Ace
now up to 24k.
dinner break i am on 28k
again i am sitting with J/J,raise to 1800 and player shoves all-in. i instantly call and he shows K/10. a few more thousand for me .
end of level 8 and i am now on about 48k.
target is 50k for Day 2.
so far taken out 5 players.
2nd hand into level 9 i have J/J again,guy sitting to my left has gone all-in and i call,he shows A/9 and my Jacks hold up yet again.
had A/A again but raised 3x BB and all fold.
i did hit at one time 75k but tiredness set in near the end and i made a play with K/Q against 3/3,i hit my Queen but he hit his 3,thought it time the variance came in.
and then last hand guys pushed short stacked on my BB,again i have K/Q and he has A/J,flop comes down rag/Q/J then turn shows the Ace.
so i have made day 2 and i have just over 53k,so happy enough.
