I was just bewildered - Never got above starting stack - and ended up having to push when the blinds were 300/600/50. Great day though enjoyed it.
I had a very similar Bewildermentalising sensation today, left about a level before Duke I think.
Had a donation happy table, couldn"t have selected it better myself! But had rly crap position with a spewtard a couple seats to my left driving me insane with his assaulting the table by trying to "open limp isolate the dealer" every other hand and those in position kept folding flops to him which was putting me on "popeye tilt"
(I try to touch my left shoulder blade with my chin and wrap my right eyelid around my nostrils at the same time without the aid of my hands!). Completely struggled to get any momentum before break. But once antes kicked in after break I felt much more at ease, stack dynamics+antes completely changed the table in my favor and got up to 7K, completely card dead tho. lol@spewtard continuing to open limp isolate with blinds more then 10% of his stack and then wondering where it all went.
Structure was going to get pretty aggressive over next few levels with shorties starting to shove soon and didn"t want to miss the action/side pots, figured I needed about 12K to make a couple gruesome calls to get me to halfway point. So obv 3bet bluff shoved on UTG+2 in MP who x4, he calls with AJs and my K8o misses.
Def have better idea of what to expect next time, prolly gonna skip Newcastle and Glasgow, aiming for 2 more of these during this tour. Sorry didn"t say hello Pears, seriously struggled with name tags, only briefly managed to find Duke and say hello, must remember to get numbers of those going next time! Thanks for the advice everyone else.
