Found my Level
Played the £10 NLHE rebuy tourney at my local Casino, 2nd time I played it now cashed in both. Last night was 17th/110 entries so only got £30 but a wins a win, especially as my biggest pocket pair was 99 :-)
It was billed as a "newbie" night and boy did it show. One guy on the table seemed clueless to the point of retardness. He continually took 2 minutes over each decision, checking and rechecking his cards. The funniest spot was where he was in the big blind. Two players had gone allin for 950 each. It was allin for him to call. "Check" he says. Pointed out he can call or pass. "I pass" he says and grabs the 50 blind. "No you can't do that". " OK, I call and flips over 43 off suit. Of course QQ and AK in his foes hands see a flop of 256 and the fun starts.... :-)
He pulls the same coup with 43 later hitting a 4 high flush which creams AK and JJ. Then comes the nasty stuff. After a few small bets the board reads KJT5K. Mr 43 checks. His foe, completely drunk, bets allin, Mr 43 has him well covered and as is his style goes into the tank. He looks like hes going to call and drunk guys shouts out "chips please". Mr 43 calls with AQ for top straight, drunk guy has KJ for the stone cold nuts. Nasty angle shoot, which he finds hilarious and brags about for a while.
I never really got going. Had KT in the big blind vs Drunk guy. Flop KT2 I check raise allin. He calls with AJ and Q pops up on river.
I float around the 2000-3000 mark and by the 400/800 levl we have lost 80+ players. I get AJ move in vs AQ and A9 Board flops 789 and a lovely T on river propels me to 5000 ish. Suddenly we are in the money and with blinds 800/1600 I have 4300 UTG and see 44. Lump it in and drunk guy eventually calls with AJ (by this time he was close to being in a coma). Flop incuded Jack and I missed my 2 outs.
Luckily with it being an early start I am back home for 11.30 pm.
