I busted the first $550 donkament around the same time as Dave yesterday. Starting stack was 7.5k chips and I never got past 7.6k. I was very card dead, so it was pretty boring! The only interesting hand I had was when I min raised blind vs blind and then proceeded to forget my hole cards. The flop came 98x and I thought to myself… well I might have a 9… and cbet. Unfortunately the villain called. I double barreled an 8 turn and after thinking a bit the BB folded. I checked before mucking and had QT, lol. At least I had a gutshot 😛
I think I made a bad river call in one of the other few hands where I saw a flop. Early in the tournament I raised in LP with AT over a limp and got called by the limper (a guy that limped a lot). I bet a bit over 1/2 pot on AQJ two-toned board and he called. The turn was low and left the board two-toned, and I bet again. He called. The river brought runner runner clubs and my opponent donk bet half the pot. Bleh. I thought about it for a minute and I guess I was hoping he had something like KQ or KJ, so I called. He showed Q5 clubs for the flush.
In hindsight, I’m pretty sure most players wouldn’t bluff half pot OOP on the river. It was a clear value bet but I couldn’t muster enough discipline to fold. I like the call more if he had bet full pot… (but then I still think I should fold :P)
Nothing else to discuss regarding the tournament. I busted after losing a flip with 10BB.
Seeing as neither of us made Day 2, Dave and I had a day off. We went to Kensington something-or-other to walk around, eat food, and visit shops. We went to a toy store that had a bunch of awesome stuff, and I saw the strangest thing ever. Stuffed germs. I took a picture of Syphilis:
Yes, seriously… furry, cuddly Syphilis!! If you’d rather have the flu or some human cell, you can get that too. LOL that’s so awesome.
Women’s donkament tomorrow. Women play so terribly, I’m pretty excited 🙂 I hope it gets a decent field.
