Some changes

Well, where did we left off?

Ahh yes, the tournament, the qualifier, the money!

Well, i didn't qualify, had some though luck. In three hands, i left it all to ruin..

First, not a really smart move but i was trying to get some chips from the blind with 35s, he went as well all in with 86 and the flop revealed an 8.

I've rebuyed and got all in later on with AQ against a big stack ( who went all in before with T8s, 33 in a multiway pot without position, etc, etc ) and he had AJ. Cool, i thought.

The flop? xxJ.

Last rebuy and i went all in again with a big pocket pair, don't recall if it was AA or QQ. Well, the other player had a pocket pair as well, like TT or 99 and hit a set on the river.

Enough is enough and i lost.

Then i charged the ring tables and manage to build up a stack to about 39€.

Played some more and lost it to 30 € with an incredible bad run of events ( 3 hands lost almost 3 buyins, ill put some of the hands here ) and later on manage to a solid 37 €.

One of the hands that forfit my escalation to success ( the mark of 50€ ) was:

- AA chased by a weak player who caught a set on the river. He then quit instatly.

On the rebound to 37€ the two hands i remeber most were AA against one player, i hit a set ( flop A28 ) and he went all in. He had 22. Perfect flop for me here.

And another hand was in a table where a good poker game was being held. Lots of bluffs and power play. One of the players, Ash something, kept being both agressive and insanelly passive.

At some point i had AK with a solid raise pre-flop 3 or 4 time the big blind, and he chased me down. The flop revealled only rags and he bet half the flop. I raised him the pot and he re-raised me the minimum.

I re-raised me, with the read he didnt hit anything but was trying to push me out or make a cheap 4th and 5th street. He quickly re-raised me. I fold and he show A6. The flop had something like 274.

Later on another player, in a flop with QJs2xx, kept betting small values until the river which i felt it was a blank card.

I had Q7 and knew my weak pair could probably be the best hand, since this player was to into bluffs at this point. I call and became very proud to see a straight flush draw in his hand ( T9s ).

I'm a weak and learning player, so this kind of hands make me happy!:)

So, now i've got 36€, with .25€ invested in a 3000$ garantued tournament and .20€ in a 200€ tournament.

Let's see how this goes.
