Tourneys
Yesterday, I woke up and decided to play some tourneys. The last two tries with tourneys, showed that I have hard time to focus in lower buyin tourneys because I am only interested in prices for the first few places. So I went to play some satellites for some bigger events.
I qualified for the Sunday Warm-up, bought in directly for the everest 100k Gtd and also registered for 20k Gtd 20+2 on PS and 8$rebuy . I tried one satellite for the PP 350k Gtd but busted and apparently this was the last satellite for the day.
So this was my second time that I played major Sunday tourney, the previous was more than an year ago and there I qualified for the Sunday million and busted one of the first hands with 200BB put on AA. However this time I decided to play my standard first levels loose and afterwords very tight game.
I busted early in the second hour of the 8Rebuy by running my AQ into an EP raiser with AA. Bad play me. I busted the 20k Gtd by using my running my AA into 99 for 20bb preflop and he hit. At this point I was left only with the Sunday warmup and the everest 100k. The everest game was much different than the PS, people are very tight and the gameplay was much slower. I succeeded to enter the money with only 5bb. And since the bubble was going hand to hand I played only like 5 hands on the bubble from MP w small stack that because of the hand-to-hand become even smaller once the blinds went up. I doubled up against a light pusher w A8s >>T7o and then I was just searching for my spots, until an EP shortstack pushed for 10bb and I called my 6bb w 99. He had KQs, but unfortunately the BB woke up w KK and I finished 47/861
The Sunday Warm-up, I played a standard game, doubled up trough some good tourney regulars that make a lot of moves against nits like me and then with 205 left from 3500 I overplayed an A2 from CO and BB woke up with AJ. Overall a nice experiment and winning ~1k from these two cashes certainly feels good. However, I am still beating my head, because I could have gotten away from A2 hand.
Anyways, I might do this again when I have some time in the weekends, I like the trill of this big tourneys.
