Aussie Trip - 2007/01/15 - The Big Day
I made it through to day 2 with 40,900 chips.
On a pretty tough table - up to 30,000 at one point in the late afternoon but lost a lot of chips when raised with AJ, bet and got called on a flop of QJ7 - had to fold to an all-in when the turn was Q.
Some extracts from pokernews about my table:
It Happens Every Day
Right about this time of day we seem to find another "name" player. Today it's Jean Robert Bellande who has been hiding at the furthest table. JR has been having a rough time of it, mostly due to the play of Van Marcus. "He has been abusing me" reports Jean Robert.
Van Marcus Wants to Fight
On a flop of Q-7-3, Player A bet out for 500. Player B from America dropped two 500 chips out. He said he wanted to just flat call but the dealer said that bet was binding. He protested and then Van Marcus re-raised to 2500. Player A folded and Player B moved all-in. Marcus called with 7-7 and Player B had Q-Q for top set Van Marcus had him covered and was not eliminated but he was fuming over the angle shooting incident. He challenged the young American to fight in the parking lot. Stay tuned for an update on the possible fisticuffs.
This Van Marcus guy was immediately to my right and in some ways it was good to have him in a lot of pots - it was certainly never dull
Key hands before dinner
Call 2 limpers including Van from the button with J9 hearts with blinds. 150/300 (50) ante. Flop is 872, 1 heart. We all check. Turn is Q and when Van bets 600 I misread my hand and think I have a bellybuster straight draw so I decide to raise to 1500 thinking I might nick the pot anyway. Van calls but the river is the perfect 10 so when he bets 1500 I min raise to 2100 which he calls showing 2 pairs Q8. He asks me how I could raise with a gutshot draw and then laughs when I say I misread the turn - confirming my fish status.
I bust a mid position min raiser when several calls around give me odds to call with my 55 in the small blind. I hit my set and when I check it he goes all-in with his AA. Ho ho.
Key hands after dinner
Blinds are up to 200/400 with 75 ante and I leak chips when a couple of semi steal raises with 99 and AJ get dangerous flops which I have to fold when met by big bets.
I am down to around 11,000 when I pick up TT in the BB and after a limper to my left calls a short stack min raises from mid position. I go all-in and he calls with 99 so I bust him.
Finally we have the hand of the day for me.
We have just got to the final level 400/800 (100) and I get AQ (red mixed) in the BB. The "young american" just calls from mid position so I bet 2500.
Flop is AK3 (K3 are both clubs). He has always bet out no matter what he has, so I decide to check. Sure enough he bets 5000 so I go all-in since I know he can't have AK or KK and if he has trip 3's I suspect he would have checked trying to lure me in.
He asks the dealer for a count of the pot (but in fact the dealer just spreads the pot - apparently they don't count it). My raise is t0 19000, so he is getting about 2:1. I put him on Ax of clubs so the odds will be about right for him to call with a flush draw. He thinks for ever and then calls with K7 diamonds!!! He says "I thought you had nothing". What hand can I have that he would be beating? Would I really go all-in with QQ or K6 with that board. Anyway I am not complaining when he does not get lucky so I win a massive pot and pretty much fold everything apart from a couple of steals to end the day at 40,900.
We started at 11.30 finished just after midnight had a 10 minute break every 90 mins and 1 hour for dinner so I am pretty knackered.
