I woke up Saturday morning super excited to play in my 9thWorld Series of PokerMain Event.
Let’s take a look back and see where it all went wrong…..
The open seats later filled with a couple of good players.
There were 5 key hands that tore me up.
I will take a stab at keep this simple of the non-poker fans.
- I called a raise with 85 in the big blind.
The flop came A85 two clubs.
I check called the flop, turn 4.
River was an awful 4 that counterfeited my two pair because an Ace now beats me.
I check folded to a 5k bet.
- Called a min button raise after a small blind call with 73 spades in big blind.
Q8Q two spade flop, check around.
Turn the beautiful 4 of spades.
I bet out 1800 and the button called.
I checked, he bet 5k and I folded the flush face up.
- I raised KQ and got two calls.
Flop AQ4 two hearts.
Turn K of hearts bringing flush.
River a 4th heart and I check called a small bet to lose to J8 of Hearts.
Real bad call here that was a mistake.
- Raise QQ out of early position.
One call behind me.
Flop 956 two Diamonds, I bet 1200 and get called.
Turn Ace goes check check.
River 9 I check called a 3k bet and lost to to AJ of Diamonds.
- My Bust Hand.
Aggressive player opens 1000,Harrah’s Nolaregular makes it 2800 behind him.
Small Blind calls 2800, I wake up with JJ in big blind.
Well it turns out the Nola reg was not folding KK and I got KOed early.
It is what it is…..
Overall in Vegas I played 4 tournaments and 1 WSOP Main Satellite cashing 1 of the 5 events.
Just gotta close one of these damn things soon!
Good luck to Barstool Nate on Day 3 today!
One man has to carry the torch for us and I sincerely hope he makes a deep run!
