That didn't take long
I'll run through my 3 hands that I played after the dinner break:
Hand 1: The very first hand it folds to me in the SB and I complete for 400 more with J4, the big blind raps the table and we take a flop. FLOP: 886 rainbow, this looks like a good flop for me and I decide that since the BB is a fairly aggressive player I will check raise him on the flop to take the pot. I check, he bets 1,200 which looks very week, I make it 3,200 straight and he instantly announces all-in. I muck.
Hand 2: I'm in 2nd position and two very tight players are in the blinds, so I decide that I am going to raise with any two hoping the rest of the table gives me credit for a hand when raising from 2nd position. I squeeze J 10 off and make it 2,100 a 1,300 chip raise. It folds to the tightest player at the table in the BB and he calls..... great... FLOP: 662 two diamonds. He checks, I ponder and bet 3k, he folds... back up to 14k in chips.
Hand 3: Very next hand I squeeze AQdd UTG and make is 2,100 again. Again it folds to the BB who is a rather young decent player and he makes the call. The flop comes AKJ, KJ of hearts, I'm not very thrilled about this flop but he checks it to me and I again bet 3k the exact same way that I did the hand before. He immediately announces All-In and slams in a stack of pink chips that has me covered.... yea, gross... I think for a minute like I normally do, running through the possible holdings I can put him on before studying his body language and deciding what I think he has. I decide that Q 10 is slight possibility, AJ is more likely and AK is unlikely since he would have re-raised pre almost certainly. I rule out AA and KK and finally decide that he has one of the following hands... AQ, AJ, JJ, KQ (least likely) or a heart flush draw. I am in bad shape against all of these hands except the flush draw and AQ / KQ so unless he looks like he's really making a move I have to fold.... I look at him and immediately see his heart and pulse is RACING.... I almost instantly say call and almost yell, "NO HEART"..... then he flips his hand.... AQ..... of hearts.... so gross, he nails the free-roll on me and I bust from the tournament right on the bubble... dang
Tomorrow I think we are playing the $1,000 buy-in "main event" for this series. The winner gets a seat in the 25k buy-in WPT Championship along with 1st place prize money.... I'd take that.
