Early Double B recap (long)

As promised. I intend to download the animated hand replayer in the very near future for the sake of brevity, but for now it's just good old cut and paste with lots of text, apologies.

Tournament started slowly for me, then this beauty dropped in my lap -

Early Double - B (51673929), Table 86 - 25/50 - No Limit Hold'em

TheAlbinoKid wins the pot (1,000) with four of a kind, Kings (not a big pot, but probably as much as I could have got)

Chipped up a bit more on the very next hand when I raised pre-flop with QQ, got called by the same player as Hand 1; he called a flop bet too on an all-unders board, but folded to turn bet on another blank card. That was pretty much it for the first hour, reached the break 205 of 432.

Then the same guy doubles me through by because he thinks having an Ace makes him unbeatable when actually he is drawing dead -

Then I pick up another 3000 chips when it folds to me in the small blind with JJ and the big blind shoves over my raise with 77 and my hand holds up.

The next hand sends me soaring, I think this is probably the hand I am most pleased with from the tournament -

If he does shove over us, I'm snap-calling unless the original raiser calls, in which case I have an easy fold with not much invested.)

Thoughts, if any? On the back of that, I am 27 of 180 at the second break, but the cards dry up and by the time the bubble bursts at 153rd place I have slipped to 39th. Maybe I am getting a little frustrated, because I make a pretty speculative re-steal play here and it blows up in my face -

In retrospect, his stack size probably meant he wasn't folding very often here and I should have held fire. But he had been limp or min-raising whenever he entered a pot, and played very passively thereafter, generally showing a heavy reluctance to put his tournament life on the line without at least seeing a flop. I think he was the perfect opponent to make this move against, but maybe he needed to be a little deeper for it to be ideal. Is this horrible spew, or just a minor misjudgement? Or even a well-played hand?

So that hand dented me quite a bit, and my M dropped to pretty much shove or fold territory; but I got my chips back off the same guy when I open-shoved J10s and won a flip when he called from the small blind with 44. Another lull in action followed, before I had these hands two in close succession (both very standard on my part, 2nd one not very standard from villain!) -

The flurry continues as the next hand I raise from the button with KJo, flop top pair when big blind calls and take down another ~4000 chip pot. Then just as I'm starting to feel good about life, I get all in pre-flop with KK against 77 and get sucked out on, and no sooner had I scrambled out of the middle of the field than I am back in it.

Then I have a tricky decision -

With the two limpers (reads - neither likely to have limped a big hand), I'm planning to insta-jam this until saintpimp gets in first. I grumble and mutter and make a grudging fold, having lost the chance to take the initiative... correct, or does anyone gamble here? (blackflush714 does, because he calls the shove with Q10s obv, and knocks out saintpimp who has AKs... lol donkaments, and predictable table chat ensues.)

Last hand before the 3rd break makes my subsequent urination feel all the more sweet -

So I hit the 3rd break 14 of 44, and starting to get pretty psyched. After we resume, I chip up a little more, then this really gay and funny hand happens -

I then KO a shorty when he shoves for about 3 big blinds and I call with A10o and have his A8o dominated... takes me to 8 of 30, and I'm sniffing the final table. I then move tables again, to find myself sat two seats to the left of Worm646898645675476 (or something), a fellow Cardplayer-ite... two of us in the final 30, and no "Going Deeeeeeeep" thread on the forum? We're slacking. I decline his offer of a last-longer bet because I don't want to jinx it... very poor decision on my part because I'm obviously the superior player ;)

Anyway, the new table has the chip leader on it, and he seems to be playing very loose and running in God mode. Obviously I get dealt half a hand (KJo) in middle position on his big blind, he calls and then donks into me on a AdQd8s flop. I'm just dying to shove over his donk bet, but common sense gets the better of me and I let the crazy take it. I then get moved from his table again (Worm is moved with me), and have this nice little suck-out when a re-steal goes wrong and comes right again -

That pushes me to 5 of 15, and at the next break I am 5 of 12 (Worm has busted in 14th, blinds were hot on his heels and he had to push a weak ace which was called by a marginally less weak ace... nice run though). First hand back, I catch a nice free flop from the big blind with 8d3d (Ad Jd 8c for bottom pair with a flush draw) and take a nice pot with a flop raise. This hand made me feel a bit sick though -

Is that as ultra-weak as it felt? I don't like calling out of position, and I don't like shoving and praying I'm a slight favorite in a race when I am in good shape. My reads are confused on the re-raiser; he has just woken up and started to get quite active in the last orbit, but hasn't shown any hands down yet, so I don't know if he is switching gears or just getting a good run of cards. Is this one of those situations where if I want to win the tournament I have to take the chance in a death or glory kind of way, or is my feeling that this is a risk I don't need to take justified?

Anyway, I made it to the final table 6th in chips, with a predictably bad draw of the two big chip leaders immediately on the left, the God mode donk from before and General Sleven from the last hand I posted. Within 4 hands, we are down to 7 as AA shows it's head twice and knocks out two players with smaller pocket pairs. Then it's my turn to step into the limelight -

That really bummed me out... I always run badly at final tables, who knows why. It felt inevitable, I didn't even have it in me to type "QJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJQJ ASFGAFGSDJKFGKSDGK" into the chat box after the flop to try and will the re-suckout home. Sinosono must have had my number... he is the same guy who sucked out on my KK with 77 earlier on. Better lucky than good I guess (to be fair, both hands he played fine).

So, left with an M of ~1.5, I'm always getting called by the big stacks on my left so I'm pretty much dead in the water barring a miracle. Rather than pray for a big hand in the 5 hands before my big blind comes round again, I opt to push with 67o on the grounds that my cards should be live and I will most likely have ~40% chance against whatever calls me. Of course the chip leader calls with A7s, so there goes that theory, and there goes Albino. $127.50 better off for a $6 buy-in is good, but I feel short-changed again, like most final tables. Oh well, best not be greedy.

Thanks for reading, even if you only skimmed.
