These $1500 NL tournaments are kinda dumb. More often than not, nothing of note really happens. This somehow got an attendance of over 3000 people, so first place was going to be a big one, but if you don’t get chips early, you’re already stuck in the all-in game.
I hovered right around my starting chip total for the first 3 hours, and had about 15 big blinds left when the antes finally came into play. Unfortunately I had to go through a stretch of folding 38 consecutive hands at that point, always facing 2 raises with 6 high. Not much I could do. Down to 1600 chips at 100-200 with an ante, I moved in with A
4, looking at just the ace, and spiking to double vs 10
10
. Next hand I raised it up with AJ, missing the flop, but shoving against the bb who called and then followed it up with a weak lead.
I didn’t play another hand until the blinds went up again, this time to 200-400. With just over 13 bbs, I moved in with AQ
from the cutoff, and the small blind once again woke up with aces. Luckily the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha is finalllllly here. Looking to get it done over the next 2 days, with that and the $1000 NL Rebuy!
