So iv been playing over at Ladbrokes the past few days as i had some money in there and the cash games are pretty tame at lower limits.
Yesterday me and Jay were playing cash games and decided to both join a tourney. We entered a $10 shorthanded tourney and both cashed in the top 12 to double our money (out of about 100). I entered another tourney afterwards but he didnt join in time. Neway i went and got a takeaway just before it started and came back 15minutes into it having only lost a couple of blinds, raised with 99 and managed to double up.
After 5 mins of playing a had a good stack size and got to the final table on a small chip stack.
Played extremly tight, at one point folding SB when i only had about 2times the BB, managed to win when i pushed with the best hands and then we were down to about 5. I think i got about 5 huge hands in a row, going all-in each time. Got called down by A7 when i held AK and won, went all-in again with QQ and took out 2 players each holding big aces. Then we were heads up and i had such a huge chip lead i pushed every hand and won after 3 hands.
Took dwn the $220!
Today i decided to enter again and again became the chip leader after just a short while, doubling up pretty easily early on. Remained chip leader for the whole tournament (about 3 hours) having nearly double 2nd place at all times and only lost 1 huge hand when we were down to 4 when i turned a straight only for him to make a flush on the river :( Final 5 lasted for about an hour as blinds were pretty low with longish intervals. But still got about $180 for that!
And..... i just finished playing a $25 quick blinds tournet with 88 people in and became chip leader after about 45mins and kept it down to the last 2 tables. I played SUPER SUPER tight for the first hour or so playing just 5 hands!!! AA, which i doubled up on to TT then i called 2 shortstacks all-ins with 55 and it held up as the best hand! (made me a full house infact, but they both had A high :P) KK and AA again and i think i knocked another shortstack out with AJ from the BB. Got to the final table in that and got knocked out after pusking with top pair on the flop (QK) and getting called by AA :( Even so i made $150 for 4th place :]
So to round it up in the 4 tournaments iv played in 2 days i have cashed in all of them;
- 9th (+$20)
- 1st (+$220)
- 4th (+$180)
- 5th (+$150)
