Thursday Night Tournament

2019-05-16

Found another way to give my money away. Same way I went out in the last tournament. I guess I didn't learn my lesson. Lets start with the end.

My last hand: Middle position. UTG+1 all in with a small stack. I didn't have too much more. I called with AJo. No idea why I did that. Button called also. Both players had AKo. Ace on the river to account for all the damn aces.

Other notable hands:

AA UTG

Called. I almost always do this. No one raised. So I got stuck with 6 players. How often can I win this? I don't think often. KTx rainbow. I bet 600. Almost everyone believes except for the button. I check the turn which is a blank. Button checks. River brings a 9. Completes a straight. I check. Button bets

  1. I call. I win. Next time I'll raise :)

AKh middle position

Raised to 3BB. 1 caller. 2 hearts on the flop and a K. This is good. I'm betting and hoping for a call. I bet .75pot. Called. Get the nut flush on the turn. Bet again .25pot. Called again. River completes a straight. I bet small...trying to make it look like a blocking bet. He calls. He has the straight.

AA middle position

Raised to 3BB. Same caller as above hand. He goes all in with 2500 chips or so. Easy call. He has QQ. He gets the Q on the flop and gets another Q on the river.

Next Hand KQd UTG

Raised to 3BB. Button and big blind call. All low cards on the flop. Checked to me. I bet big 3500. Button folds. BB takes some time. Chats with me. Believes I have KK. He eventually folds. I show. I liked the way I played this hand. I was aggressive.

Other hands

I got JJ once and played 32s (slightly on tilt). Folded A9o a few hands before the AJ fiasco which I was thinking to jam and I would have gotten called by 77, in which I would have won.

Summary

I thought I played all right. Didn't get too much luck (but got decent starting hands), but all it takes is one mistake. And that was the last hand. I can't call an allin with AJo. Maybe not even AJs. Especially with a few players behind. I'm still learning.
