Re: WSOP Main Event Day 1C Sweat
Out. Came out of dinner break feeling good with t6800. I was sooo card dead all day, saw AQ once and TT once, other than that the only other pocket pair i saw was 44 and folded it under the gun. Made some nice plays just to stay afloat and went from t5600 to t6800 the level before dinner. Coming out of dinner the antes kicked in and I made a call for t675 in MP2 when MP1 raised with 99. Flop came AK3 and it went check/check, turn brings a brick and he bets out t750 and I almost jammed, but fold, he says he had a weak Ace and would have folded to a jam. Down to t6100 in the process, 4 or 5 hands later I open in EP for t700 with JTo (cards were irrelevant, I just wanted blinds and antes or to c-bet a flop).. player behind raises to t2500 i fold. Down to t5300.
Blinds hit me now and I see K8o, UTG+1 limps for t200 with about a 23k stack, folded to button who is short and he calls, sb folds and I check.
Pot: t950
Flop: KQ3 rainbow
Ok I check to open limper who had been active and he fires t700 into the pot. Button (has about t4000 left) thinks and mucks and I push. Guy tanks and says what do you got Q3? Blah blah blah, he finally calls with KJ.
Turn: 8
Wooooooooooooooooooooo!
River: Q
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
He says something fairly unneeded and "prickish" I wish everyone good luck and head to the rail. I dont mind the play I made as he c-bets with Q's there or even TT, 99, JJ, etc and could be folded KT. I figured I would rather take a chance early in the antes level so I could make a run and probably dont regret one hand in the whole night.
I have now played the WSOP two times for a total of about 16-17 tables hours and have yet to see AA or AK. Saw KK once last year and QQ once this year. Fun stuff.
