Played another satelite on sunday, and ended up winning. so I paid my way into the 330 on monday.
Played great the entire tournament, but ran really really cold. Especially in crucial spots.
I stole as much dead money as I could, but eventually I was going to need a big pot. We started wit 500 players, and we were down to 100 with blinds at 600/1200 and a 100 ante. I’m on button with 18k, and look down at 10,10. Same hand i went out on at Sahara. This time Cutoff makes a standard raise to 3400, and i shove. Obviously its standard for Big Blind to wake up with a hand, he shoves over top of me with KK. cutoff folds and I dont improve. Good Game me. out in 99th or 100th roughly.
Today I decided I wanted to try and climb through the limits. I was starting at 1/2 no limit and once i reach 500. move to 2-5, then if i reach 1000 move to 5-10. I ended up moving to 2-5 after 20 minues. a sick start. But i got coolered early at 2-5. I flopped top 2 paid, and villain flopped bottom set.
I eventually grinded back what i went to the table with and called it a day. It was about 6 hours of playing, and the table had lost all the dead money, so I left.
Going to try out my “Lucky You” type of limit climbing once more. we’ll see if i can get up to 5-10 no limit at least once.
