Live Blog

Anyway, so no blog from me today. Sorry all. Instead I've decided that I'll LiveBlog a poker tournament for you this evening. Ofcourse if I do something stupid I'll never post it, lol. Here goes:

23:35 I've signed up for a tournament on PokerStars, It has cost me $1 + 0.10 to enter and currently there are 689 entrants and 12 min until it starts. I'm playing in a $3 + 0.30 Sit n Go while I wait. I'll keep you updated on that too.

23:40: Check this movie out, it's pretty fucking amazing. Glad I never played against him in my youth.

23:37: slow playing AA in SNG flop brings nothing, lots of players in, I bet T$50 all by two fold, they check. Turn is blank, I bet T$100, both call. River is a real blank, only someone with a pair of crap in the hole that has hit the board, or two really crap pair can beat me, to get rid of them I bet T$600, one caller, in fact he goes all in, woot, I call. He shows Q8o, there is a Q but no 8 on the board, I more than double up, woot!

23:45; just took two short stacks out in the SNG,

23:46 Play in the main tourney has started, final count is 1381 entrants, wish me luck

23:52 playing in two tables at once is not as easy as it sounds, I hope I win the SNG soon. My stratergy in the MTT is just to hang in there at the moment, and wait for all the chancers to get knocked out.

23:58: got taken out of the SNG is 3rd, it's not too bad. Now I can concentrate on the MTT, My goal is to last out the first two hours.

00:00 only 1104 players left in this thing

00:07 gonna fast play my KK, raise 10x BB, one caller, flop comes AhJh3d giving me an ok chance of taking it, I bet T$100 the other dude calls. Turn is a 6h maybe givng the other dude a fush but I still have a good pair and a nut flush draw, he goes all in, but with only T$230 so I call. He shows a 6x, i get another heart and end up with the flush and I win, woot. It's a small pot though and my stack is still slightly below average.

00:20: I'm curently 430th out of 734 palyers left, about 25 min to the first break.

00:22 I get KK again. BB is T$50 I raise 3x BB to 200, dude goes all in with 975, another dude calls, I've got to call. Flop comes A7A and I semibluf the other caller off the pot. All in dude has QQ, I win again. Now I'm 138th out of 760 with 1.5 average stack.

00:24 Just laid down KQ pre flop, dude before me raised, he had QQ woot, go me

00:46 First break = toilet break

00:47 On the way to the bathroom I noticed that e-TV has porn on, meh. OK, this is how things stand in the MTT. Currently I am 291 out of 504, my stack is T$2825, average is T$4110, I've lost about T$1000 since my last win. If I can last another hour I'll be happy with my performance.

00:52 Tournament started again

01:04 Just had my AK beaten by K2 when the turn came 2, I lost about T$600 ;(

01:16 OK I'm out, Had my KK cracked by QQ getting a Q in the flop, aww well shit happens. I came 320th, it's ok but I'll do better next time.

cheers
