Re: August Low-Content Thread
chopped for 1st place the other day in a small limit tourney with stupid crazy blind levels
made the final table with ~50% of the chips in my stack, got to HU with a 3:1 chip lead (~57k v ~18k at 1.5k/3k blinds), 1st hand: dude raises button, I look down at AKs and 3-bet, he asks me if I want to get it all in, so I say ship it
he tables J9o, flop is: K x x, I lose, that hurt
dude asks me for the 2nd time if I want to make a deal, I give in bc this guy is obv going to push through hard and the blinds are too high compared to the stacksizes, so I have almost no edge
would have preferred to play for it, but it was a nice 2k+ win nonetheless, esp bc I don't play that many tourneys, let alone limit ones
we flipped for who would be declared winner (casino rule), he won
made a nice 50+BB win in my 15-30 live game as well which hadn't happen to me in probably 6+ months or so (in only ~5 hours of play, mostly short handed)
so nice start to the month, only downside is that I won't be able to play much, if any at all, for the rest of the month bc of other obligations
