End of level two 37400 not good
But first hand of level three flopped 2 pair from the small blind w 57os , bet it hard and scooped a good pot

 

First break 85300

 

End of level 4, got moved won two small pots 89600

 

End of level 5. 74400, End of level 6 57000
Took two big hits, couldn’t make another player fold repping a big pair with AK and got an ace on the River, he had two pair w rags
Other pot, got reraised on the River Had a pair or kings and ultimately folded, could not get a good read on the player, he’d been bluffing a lot but I couldn’t rule out two pair

 

And Im out right before the dinner break at the end of level 9. Level 7 and 8 were brutal. No cards and there were multiple players that did not like to fold. So no spots to bluff in. The hand that busted me: We are at 1000/1000/500 and I have about 34K left. I am in the small blind with JJ and make it 4000K to go, the big blind calls and so does another player. Flop comes 10, 9, 6 rainbow. I push for my remaining 30K- the player on my right tanks forever and finally calls (I swear so many people at this table were allergic to folding). The other player folds. He has Q 10. Turn brings another 10 and a blank on the river. That's all she wrote!

Overall I am pleased with the way I played. I folded one hand I probably should have called with but as I stated earlier I couldn't get a solid read and I was a little gun shy to commit almost half my stack at that point. There were a few hands where I could have gotten more value and another one where I flopped a set and led out with a really big bet for the size of the pot. I should have checked it there and then came back over the top. There will still 4 players in the hand.

Trying again tomorrow in a one day event

 

Sorry about the bust, but thanks so much for the post and updates.

 

Cheers for updates, and unlucky run.

Best of luck today!
