Uneventful Night

I logged on last night and played 2 SNGs on Stars, 2 donkaments on AP, and a donkament on Stars. The SNGs were pretty uneventful and I took 3rd in both.

The Stars mtt was a $2 micro and I didn't take it that seriously. Late into the 1st hour, I was short stacked with like 800 chips in the BB and was dealt QTo. I think UTG min raised to 200 and like half the table called, so I wished everyone good luck and shoved my micro stack in and got called by 5 players, LOL. I ended up winning the main pot by flopping a Q and went into the 2nd hour with a 4k stack or basically 40BBs. I semi-bluffed a few pots, but after that as I was totally card dead wasn't able to make it to the money when I shoved 15BBs with AQs and got called by KJo and he spikes a J. Standard.

I played the AP $5 Sniper and a random $5 6H no guarantee tourney. The Sniper started off well for me. I quadrupled my starting stack of 1500 chips by the end of the first hour. But then I hit some coolers in the 2nd hour and got blinded out when I took a trip to the card graveyard. Standard.

The $5 6H tourney was classic though. I played well and made some big hands to remain in the top 10 for the first to 2 hours of play. Late into the 3rd hour, I negative slow play myself out to the rail. My table was 5 handed at the time and it was a family pot with me in the SB with QTo. The Flop: Ad Kh 5h. I checked, as did every except OTB. He bet pot and I flatted as did the BB. The Turn: Jd So I hit broadway and decide to check. BB goes into the tank a bit and bets 1/2 the pot. OTB instantly calls and I 'just' call also. The River: Xd The river card completed a runner backdoor flush but I didn't put any of my opponents on a backdoor draw. Maybe 2 pair or a busted heart draw. So I lead at the pot for about 3/4 value. BB shoves over the top of me and the OTB re-raises all in. Now I wish I had just checked but my stack size and the size of the pot demanded I call. This could easily be a 2 pair vs. a set vs. my broadway. So I call. Well, both players hit the backdoor flush but the OTB player had the best of it with the KdQd. I knew I should have re-raised on the turn. Negative slow play kicks me in the but yet again. Standard.

Until next time.
