Last night was event #5 for the home league in which I came in first place. The night started out pretty good, I was playing SUPER tight, mixing up my game. Funny thing is no one noticed, laugh. After about the first hour I announced that I hadn't played any hands yet and how tight I was playing, no one seemed to care. That's OK. Amazingly, in the first 4 or 5 rounds I folder pretty premium hands; AK, KQ, AQ, Pocket 8's and the like. For some reason I just wasn't feeling it.
A few hands that come to mind... after announcing my tight play few hands later I had Ace 4 of diamonds, I believe I raised it pre-flop with one caller, directly on my left. I am pretty sure I was on the button. Flop came two diamonds and a pair on the board. Turn was a blank with the river putting two pair on the board, no other diamonds. I basically had two pair with an Ace kicker. I bet $600, player thinks for awhile and decides to call with A 5 I believe, we split the pot. I was happy with that, I knew if he called me I was either dead in the water or tied, no way I was winning the pot out right.
Another hand a little while later I ended up taking a pretty big pot with an 3 spades for a 4 card flush on the board, I kept betting, caller kept calling, I got lucky on the river.
Finally we are heads up, I have 7-9 (I think, I'm horrible at remembering hands), ended up making a straight to his two pair for a $10K double up putting me in a big chip lead, game ended shortly thereafter.
It was a good game. Everyone played great. Every week is getting harder and harder as we are learning each others style of player. I have to either bluff on this blog as I know some of them read it, or completely mix up my game month to month... I'll do both!!! :)
After 5 games the leader board looks like this:
1st, Robin, 54 Points
2nd, Chris H, 49 Points
3rd, Melissa, 39 Points
4th, Kyle, 36 Points
It's still any one's game, can't wait until next time!!!
PEACE!
