LAPC ME Day 2 Quick Update

[NYWalker]

Still alive, with 55000.

The night before the ME, I played single table satellite $1060 and took a bad beat down to One $100 chip when 8 players left (30000 chips in play). I ended up winning the table and got a seat.

Day 1,
I was in the tent till 8pm. I came to table 37 with 10000 chips, where Issac Haxton was on my immediate left. He's a very nice guy and we talked a lot while not in the hand. I ended day 1 with 27850.

Day 2,
I lost 12500 in the first hand of day 2. Then I lost another 4000 with 88. I limp in QTs from the button and flop J98r. QQ bets and calls I all-in. Turn T, we chop. After that, I bust two short stacks and up to 30000. After dinner break, I had 80000.

I busted Isabelle Mercier and took her 36000. I had 120,000in the last level.

20 minutes before the end of the day, I took a bad beat. LP moves in for 40000 with Q2o. I called with AQo and the board was Q2JK8. After that I lost 2 hands and down to 55000.

Coming to Day 3, I have 20 bb. Need a lot of luck!

GL sir. I went out early on day two. Being card dead at aggressive tables with the captains behind you playing at you every time you enter a pot sucks.

Im still in, 74800...tough day today...posted some hands on my blog

Tough day today, played with "Bodog Ari" for most of the day. Didnt really play many big pots, except for my KK vs AA. Going back tomorrow to 1k-2k, 300 going to need some luck.

[Foucault]

Very impressive, Walker. Sounds like you've weathered your share of ups and downs. Just stay focused and keep us updated.

GL Walker,
I disagree with a lot of your plays but that does not mean that I am not rooting for you. Take it town bro.

I also hope that I can hear more about this hand:

You open limped the button? Did QQ raise out of the blinds or had it limped in EP? Did you get it all in on the flop?

Did you limp in EP with AQo here and get it in on the flop or did you raise in LP preflop and Q2o pushed on you thinking that you were stealing? Blinds were only 300/600 at this point... how the heck could someone get it in pf with Q2 for 40,000 chips?


GL in day three.

Thanks.

Actually, I was LP in that hand.
400/800/100, UTG limps. MP is Daniel Negreanu's protege Anthony Mak. I saw him limped in KK/AA before. He limps. I feel the blinds woulnd't make move after all these limpers. I look down QTs, a very good drawing hand in multi-way pots and decided to play this hand. I limp, I think I had 12K or so. Blinds complete. Flop 98Jr. Checks to Anthony who bets 2000. I smoothly call hoping someone also calls from behind and shove on the turn. All fold. Turn T. He bets 3000. I didn't like the turn but I don't think KQ would be there on the flop and I put him on AA/KK. For KK, 3 outers there would kill my hand - I move all for 10k or so. He calls with QQ. River blank - Daniel cheered from behind!


The bad beat hand - 800/1600/200. One limper who had 120K. I had about 125K, 2nd CL at the table. villain had 40K and paused for 1 second and moved in from LP. Anthony Mak folds. I called with AQo. UTG mucks. Villain turned over Q2o. 2 was in the window and villain laughed for 10 minutes.

(After the hand, I took a 3 minute break. Commerce floorman came over, he told me to remember I won the seat with one chip. It's not the worst I've seen at this table.)

BTW, QTs is the hand I had when I busted AC on ATQr board in that $1500NL 3-FTs two weeks ago.
