my first Live ITM finish
Played the tournie last night. my fourth outing to a live event.and after finishing right on the bubble in a tourney last week I managed a respectible third last night....delighted about it but also dissappointed...felt i could have won it but I think my heads up play has a lot to be desired.
One interesting hand in the early stages of the tournie. I was dealt KK in late position. a player A in early position pushes all in for about 1000.player B to my right calls (and has only 275 left). I call.Flop comes up KQx. Player B checks. I bet 275. ...he Calls. so three way showdown.Player A has AAPlayer B has QQ. And my set of Ks hold up.
Made the final table as one of the shortstacks with about 8,000 and played like a rock for the first twenty minutes...and this hand came up.
A9o in late position. 4 callers into the pot. I tihnk the blinds were 800/1.5K...so im thinking heres value if there ever was. so i smooth call.flop comes up a lucky Ah9hx. checked around to me. I push.
everyone folds and back in the game.
I climb back into my hole for another orbit or so and I get dealt 99 in late position. two all ins before me and the push I felt is automatic as i reckon i was up against Ax and Ax. they turn over Aj and AQ and its just about a coinflip.a jack comes up on the flop but a 9 on the turn bails me out (nice to see the strongest preflop hand holding up) and im in great position for the tournie.
a bit later on I min raise with K4 and a loose player goes all in for 11K more. I honestly felt he was chancing his arm as he did a few times and if i lose then im still in good position. so i call. he turns over A9s flop comes 44K turn K river. doesnt really matter. full house take your pick which one.
I honestly felt bad, online it would almost be a fold for me but lack of experience on my part made me call i think plus the bloody heat.
Hand I went out on. 3 players left Blinds are 2,000, 4,000.Button folds.I have about 40K left. Made the decision early to raise to 10K with K4s flop comes up QxQ. We check down to the river which is a K. I check. He goes All In. im now thinking that he is up to a steal. so i call.he turns over a Q. wp gg. thinking back to it now i should have thought more about it and folded I should have red the slow played Q but I guess I will only get better with experience all in all it was a great tournie and pleased with my cash out of 300.
