One Time October!

Sorry for the lack of updates from the broadway. Managed to chop the £300 double chance freezout for £8,000 when chip leader Shaf gave a local guy and myself a pretty good deal.
Would like to write up a tourney report for this because i thought i played really well. I will give you a few key hands/Situations.

I started off taking my double chance straight away as another guy on the table did, although he was 3 to my left i still wanted the kippers full stack if we clashed. My Starting table included maria demitriou / chilli - great fun and good player (we had history from a year or so ago in blackpool when i pulled a great bluff on her. Des jonas, maurice nicholson, and a few unknowns.

Started off really badly, tried to bluff maria with 66 on a AJKQx board and she made a good call with AJ, although a pretty standard call vs yours truely. I also tried a float on her with rags on a JxxJ board, alas she had JT and soon it was chilli 2-0 clam after the 1st level.

I dwindled down to 3,850 at the first break, which was way below average and (for once) went on a little stroll outside to try and get my head together. It seemed to work.

The 1st hand after the break i raised up to 600 in mid pos with 43ss Still trying to force the action, and recieved a caller from the bb. The flop came 777 and when he checked to me i fired 700, which he called pretty fast. I had an idea that the wasnt strong and was hoping i checked the turn so he could fire the river, but with 2550 left i bet 1500 on the J turn and after a dwell he mucked....phew so i was up to just over 5k.

A few hands later i doubled up with 75 on a 763 flop vs a non believers 65. I kept playing a lot of pots and after winning a big pot with KJ on a J high flop vs AQ finished the day on 31,000 and well happy. Even after losing a big KJ v TT flip which would have put me on 75k.

32 players started day 2 and i had decided that my new table was a weak passive one, and that i would go to work pretty early on it. Blinds were 400/800 and i raised the first hand utg 9hTh to signal to the table my intent.

Chilli limped early and i made it 3200 to go with 63os, she called and we saw a T22 flop which she check folded after a dwell.

Then a monster hand occured. Chilli made it 3k to go at 500/1000 and i called the button with Jd Td to see a beautiful 2d 8c 9d flop. Chilli led out for 8k at which point i tanked my last 26k in the middle to recieve an insta call with AA. The turn and river brick out and she fades my 17 outs. OOOps im now on 7.5k at 500/1000.

The net hand i shove 9T and get it through. Then i shove QTos and recieve a caller with 66. I win the vital flip and i am back to 20k. The big stack of the table loved to limp suited cards in ep so when he did it for the umpteenth time i called the button with 89hh, the blinds came along for the ride and we saw a 2h 2c 5h flop. Sb checked and a guy from sheffield frazer led out for 4k the ep limper folded and i made it 10k with 7k back. Back to frazer who put me in and revealed his flopped trips, i spiked the turn however with the Ah hitting and was back on 40k.

I was knocked back down to 30k when i was all in vs maria with 99 v AQ she flopped an ace and i rivered a 9. After this pot i played good TAG poker and with a few squeezes managed to final in 4th place in chips out of the 10 remaining.

I was quiet early on as a few players departed. I made a a 3 bet all in vs shaf with AK and a couple of squeezes. I knocked a player out with QK v 55. Maria went out in 5th and we were down to 4. I wa third in chips. The final 4 were all smokers so whilst on a fag break outside we discussed a bit of buisiness and i proposed a 4 way deal where shaf took 9k and the other three of us took £7,500 each. Thus giving us better than 2nd place money. It was a great deal on the face of it, until a guy who had been awkward with a saver earlier on the bubble, had do discuss it with his business partner, an abnoxious bloke who wanted him to go for the win. So we played on until he was inevitably knocked out in 4th. We did the deal this time giving Shaff £10k and £8k each for a local guy named saed and myself. the chips at this point were 450k 200k 200k respectively.

Since the broadway i have been playing really well online, but running really bad. Ive got deep i a lot of biggies but not made the final. It's frustrating but i know good things are coming. Ive tweaked areas of my game a little and im sure i will be seeing the benefits soon.

October is a big month for me. This weekend i am heading off to dublin for the 125 euro irish international open. Over 1000 entrants for this one and with a 10k starting stack and 40 min clock with all levlels included im hoping for a big run. There will, im sure be a few pints sunk during the 4 day break.

A week later its my 1st Blondepoker bash in Cardiff. Look forward to meeting some of the alias's face to face for a few drinks, aswell as the people ive met from blonde in the last two years.

After that its onto the Gukpt at the vic which i won my seat for online. One time.

The month concludes with a trip to walsall for the grosvenor grand prix, which i qualified for online. Last year this comp for me was a total nightmare and im hoping for much better this year. ONE TIME PLHE.

* a little mention for my mate fran who FT'd the £500 f/o @ broaway in a tough field to get 6th for £2,500 well played chick.

Oh and my name on facebook is Richard James Trigg if anyone wants to add me.

cheers
