I didn't have a lot of action in this one but managed to make it to the $26 token.
Hand 7 I got a little boost. I was BB w/5c 3h. EP2 limps & I check. Flop 3d 3s 2c. I hit trip 3's but don't get too excited. On the 1st hand Flop was 9h 3h 3s; 2 players hit trip 3's, one with a K kicker and the other with a Q kicker. On the River a Q fell and the player with the K kicker called the all-in bet and was gone!
Fortunately for me that didn't happen. I checked the flop as did EP2. Turn Ad. I min bet 40 EP2 calls. River Qs. I bet half the 180 pot and EP2 calls. I was a little worried about a straight but the bet was small enough I wouldn't be hurt too bad if he didn't raise me. He had Ah Qc, hitting the Turn & River. I win and have 1805 chips.
Hand 48. Been up & down a bit through the previous hands and I now have 1745 chips. Five players on this table now and UTG I have Kd 10h. I decide to bet 2 BB (320) and see what happens. CO calls, rest fold. Flop 3d 9s Kc. I pair my K. I check & CO checks. Turn 10d. I now have 2 pair. Only scary part of flop at moment is if CO has QJ they have a straight. I min bet 160 into the 880 pot and they call. River 4d. Now there is a possible flush for CO as well. Grrrr. I decide to be aggressive and bet 560 into the 1200 pot and they fold. Phew! I don't know if a little under half the pot was aggressive enough but I didn't want to lose all my chips, and, this time it worked as they appaerntly hit nothing, or too little to risk calling me.I now have 2305 chips.
Hand 59 we're down to the final 8, 2 more out and we are all in the money, and 3 more out and the rest of us receive the $26 token. I have 2265 chips.in SB position, w/Jd 5c; blinds 100/200, I'm 7th. It folds to me and I bet 2 BB (400) so the BB doesn't have a free card, BB calls (has 4045 chips). Flop Ac Qh 8d. I limp bet 200 and BB raises to 600.and I have to fold. Leaving me w/1665 chips and 8 th position.
I'd have been better off checking or betting much larger. I didn't bet larger because I didn't want to lose too many chips if BB continues or raises, but i'm sure that showed weakness on my part, and beside he may have had an A or Q. Need some more chips to make the money!
Hand 66. Blinds 120/240 my M is under 5. I'm the BB w/1665 chips and SB has 5 more (1670). I have As Js. UTG+1 limps w/240, all fold to the SB who goes all-in. I don't like that but at this point I feel I must call with my AJs (I'll only have 1305 chips if I'm just passive) and I call.. SB shows Ah 10d, I have the over card. The board turns out 9h 6d 9d 8c Ad and I win and have 3570 chips!! Yeah!! That puts me in 5th position, last of the tokens. Next hand SB goes out, seven of us left. We're on the bubble.
Hand 75 I'm able to steal the blinds (150/300) from the BT position and increase my chips to 4380, putting me in 4th but it's very iffy here. Top 4 have from 4200 to 4900 chips. Bottom two have 2340 & 1480. Unfortunately next hand I give them away. I have Kc 10c and bet 2 BB (600), BT raises to 1200, SB, BB & I fold. BT shows pocket A's. I'm back to 3780 chips.
Hand 83 number 7 went out and hand 86 number 6 went out winning $14. The rest of us have the $26 token. I have two $26 tokens in my kitty.
