Poker: WCOOP Event #18–results

wcoop2012

It's time for my last WCOOP event, namely Event #18 NL Hold'em $750k Guaranteed ($109 buy-in) after I had satellited in

There are 4435 entrants and 585 get paid, so will hopefully be a long night.... my first objective is to beat the 3 hour late registration :)

We start with 5000 chips and have got 20 minute levels, so my strategy will be fairly standard "tight is right" approach to begin with, although will be wanting to see cheap flops with some speculative hands as well.

We're off and the early hands see a lot of raising and not much calling.... I saw 4 flops with and played passively mostly, but ended up outdrawn 3 times (sigh)  Did hit trips on the river after very dodgy flop, so couldn't bet it and won small pot.   Just before end level get 9-9 and call tight player raise and cBet on 662 flop, the turn is 9 so call his turn bet and A on river is good for me as he calls my be... at last I've had some decent luck

End L1 : 768 from 5662 remaining (6751 chips against average of 5273)

First hand in next level, get  5-5 and hit trips on flop, but don't get any value.   Fold K-5 (as you do) then board comes 6-K-K-6, then back to normal passive play with mediocre hands and start being outdrawn again :)

End L2: 1325/6345 (6828/5596)

Managed to three barrel bluff into a station   Seemed a good spot, but cost me 1/3 my stack :(  What happened to my playing tight ?  :)

End L3: 2889/6540  (5586/6029)

Huge hand and doubled up with AsKd  Called 3 bet from tight big stack, Flop Ad6d4d  villian led out so I raise and he shoves with AcQc  5d hits so its all mine :)

Limp QQ early, raise from late and 3 bet.  Call 3 bet but original raised shoves (Huge overshove)  Debate what he could have here, decide he is tight range so fold. 

End L4: 1186/6266  (9342/6728)
End L5:  869/5671   12271/7796
End L6: 1251/5030  (12196/9313)

Key Hand:  AA on SB  Raise and call, so 3 bet.  Get call then all-in shove I call and other player folds  I'm up against QQ  A on flop stedies the nerves and I'm doubled up again :)

End L7: 427/4096  (21681/11789)
