RT -$618
Pro League Event - 8th of 30 - running AK into TT and getting no help ...
An interesting tournament - I came with a plan - to play as many hand as possible in the first two levels - managed to hit virtually nothing - hence half stacked at the first break ... soon after JJ vs 99 gets me back to par but never really having the cards or stack to get ahead ...
Next at risk moment is JJ vs 88 ... eliminating Charles Sanderson ...
Still getting nowhere fast but a KT vs J7 blindfest brings me to the edge of the final table.
Playing short-stacked and 5 handed tricky ... so tough to put down A4 vs the re-raise (Andrew Tracey"s
)
So short stack for the final table ... I raise with 88 which is folded to me ...
I then pick but AJo - raise is re-raised - perhaps I should call hear but fear being dominated ...
Decision looks okay when AK soon arrives but after a flat call and a re-raise whilst I have to call delighted to be in a race with some bonus chips - but no help - so exit and interview - mmm
Short lived cash game ... I raise with KK ... all fold ...
I raise with J9s ... and get five callers ... relly need a short handed table so better to grab a taxi and run ...
Best APAT for me - and in terms of atmosphere spot on - well played the chiefs!
