Event 1 Northern Lights Blackpool
Arrived at the G around 1pm planning on playing the free roll, to find 161 runners already registered for the £150 freeze out so decided to enter it up front.
The free roll was designed as a crap shoot as you can imagine went all in the first orbit with aj walked into kk on my left. Not to worried as the cash action was pretty live.
Sat down on the cash table and played up to 6pm sat with £50 lost that when I had doubled my stack to around the £100 mark limped into a pot for 2 with aq hearts got a mid position raiser to £8 and 3 other callers and me flop comes down 467 2 hearts i check out one of the late callers bets out for £20 and gets another caller i think they are both drawing and move in for another £35 i think it was and they both called. Raiser missed his flush and so did i the other caller had called with a gut shot and hit a 3 on the river to claim he pot.
Pulled up another fifty and manged to double that before leaving the table happy enough for something to eat before the comp started.
The casino was organised ciaos. About 30 mins before the comp started we found that there was about 50-60 people on the reserve list and that everyone that had registered at any other G casino hadn't been put on the system and so there was no space for them in the competition. The whole place was upside down alot of unhappy faces shouting and giving management a hard time. Rightly so......
We finally got under way blinds started at 25/50 first 2 levels at 45 min clock then the bad news was that it dropped to 20 mins blinds. So yes the crap shoot was on its way.
In the first 2 levels i had pocket aces once, pocket kings twice, pocket jacks once, ak twice that hit the flop, and aq suited in the small blind that hit a queen high flop, and by the time the first 2 levels had finished i still had only my 7k starting stack.......
Blinds started to fly up as u can imagine after that.
Got involved a few times but i was just running on the spot. First key was when i raised up on the button and the big blind called. Flop came 955 he checks i bet he flat calls straight away i think he has a hand its the first he has been involved so he must of hit the 9. The turn comes a jack and i think this puts me in front although not being sure he checks I check to see what his bet is like on the river he bets fifteen hundred and i pay to see him turn over A5.
Then I get kk in the cut off and it folds around to me, i try to make it look like I'm on one after loosing the hand before and the guy in first position tells the table I'm on tilt i don mind at all but the blinds fold.
Very next hand I get 99, folds to me I raise again and the fellow that was doing the tilt talk in the hand before decides to set me all in. This was the last hand before the break and if i call I'm not coming back. I raised it up for 1600 and this guy has moved in for over 7k. The whole card room has emptied apart from the ring of spectators around the table watching to see what is going on. Normally its a fold but with the blinds going up, and the clock dropped to 20mins I fealty it was time to go ahead and put them in. I think he could off done it with any 2 cards but final decision is the guy has something like 77-AQ. All the chips fly in and he turns over AJ.
My 9's hold up.
I'm up to 15k total.
After break my opportunities just didn't arrive and the blinds started to eat into me
Get moved table and have to settle down and find out whats going on.
First hand i get is pocket 10's utg raises up and I think about pushing but decide to look at a flop.
Flop comes AJ9 of spades and raiser pushes all in. I think forever because i held the 10 of spades and my opponent really doesn't look like he wants a call. I eventually fold and he shows trip 9's.
After that i have to start playing a short stack game and after only 3 levels and got moved table again.
Started to put my chips in with less than premium hands and manged to stay alive until 31st spot.
I ended up getting all in with the blinds about to come through me with KQ diamonds and called by the bb with 99. No help for me and i was out of there.
