the rio $400 circuit event horrible day out but we made it
double stack 30k to start it's 2:30 let's get that money
yeah but at that point you were bluffing never forget hanim going in with
everything anything with blinds at 100 300 300 the gun limps we're next to act
with 8 9 of diamonds a pretty wide ISO here but we're 9 handed actions very
slow and straightforward so we're gonna try to make something happen let's make
it 1,200 to go action folds back around to the limb / a
younger Caucasian male aged 25 to 35 the flop comes eight three deuce two spades
he checks we're gonna bet for value and make it 1,200 and he quickly check
raises to 3,200 what's here a pin here the only hands I can think of our pocket
threes in pocket deuces taking this line so he put in the call a lot of flush
draws in his range maybe even some wheel draws east 485 suited the turn is a
deuce which is a great card as it eliminates every one buttock one of his
pocket deuce combos you can only have two to exact deuces when he bets 3,500
I'm just not buying what he's selling and I put in the call the river is an
off suit for so ace 5 does get there but the Spades missed and he quickly bets
5000 we've come this far our plan was to call if no Spade hit and no Spade hit so
we put in the call and he shows pocket sixes Bluff value bet I'm guessing thin
value blocker but something like that and we take down a nice pot
the blinds at 200 400 400 onto the gun tanks and lamps hopefully he's not
trapped with the Aces action folds us in the cutoff we have East Jack offsuit
good hand for exit to 1600 the tight complaining about getting no hands
button Caucasian male calls European in the
small blind calls and the limper calls were four ways to a flop the flop comes
King Queen five rainbow great flop for our range action checks to us and we
continue with a 3300 bet we're telling a story let's see if they believe it the
button quickly folds the euro and the small blind calls and the under the gun
player folds so we're heads up I'm putting on something like King Jack
maybe some ACE tens pocket fives some Jack ten combos we're looking pretty
strong betting preflop and into three people it turns in offsuit 7 so he has
24,000 behind we have him covered we're gonna make it look like we're going for
three streets of value so I bet 8,000 we have all the Aces Kings Queen Queens
king queen maybe even pocket fives we got a much better value range than him
let's see if we can get him to fold the bad king or a queen here but he doesn't
he puts in the call the river is a jack the good news is we made a pair the bad
news is we don't beat anything except for the rare case of jack 10 off suit
which probably folds the turn he checks and under the gun player looks at me and
says hey buddy where'd you get all those 5k chips like he's accusing me of
stealing 5k chips I kind of ignore them and just say you know one second I'm on
a river here I got decided I'm gonna jam on this guy or not he says no no no let
me see your chips five kids we're doing with those because did you move to this
table or you a late reg and I'm just like no I got they're mine and guy next
who says I want it you want him off me so I eventually decided to check back
figure and he's got a lot of King jacks top-2 slow-played pocket fives even and
he chose keen nine of diamonds just got a hold on there huh put me on the one of
the very few Bluffs I could possibly have guess I should have ripped the
river I don't know maybe he gives up if I rip the river shout out to the euro
Switzerland guy 30 to 35 years old
five thousand
with blinds at 612 hundred 1200 word middle position with the 78 of Hearts
we've been playing very tight so it's time to open it up I make it 2500 to go
action folds the small blind a long time circuit reg Charles woody more if I am
correct he puts in the call in the big blind folds the flop comes King eight
seven jackpot two pair he checks let's bet large 2x all of his hands king a
queen king Jack King ten pocket nines who knows
we bet four thousand and he snapped calls under one second that's a good
sign probably so we're hoping for no Queen Jack or ten on the turn those were
his most likely King combos that are calling out of the small blind the turn
is a ten of diamonds back to our flush draws there we got two hearts we don't
carry he checks I could be scared of King ten but I think it's more likely as
king queen or king Jack so I bet ten thousand and he snapped calls doesn't
even think about raising we're still good we just need a brick on the river
the river comes the queen of diamonds probably the worst card in the deck and
he quickly leads out for ten thousand just to put me on life till would he
value bet his king Jack all the sudden I don't think so either backdoor to flush
or he made to pair with his king queen and we eventually make a discipline that
lay down even though we're getting a great price with two pair
you show i show
16,000 chips on dinner break coming back to 1600 big blind ten blinds i don't to
do with that but first let's enjoy some smash burger never had it I heard the
Brussels sprouts are great
these live tournaments are all about the pros and cons
although the rake is the highest I've ever seen at World Series of Poker
circuit events the fields are the softest the dealers aren't very great
and there's no auto shufflers so these are things you have to factor in you're
gonna get less hands per hour to take advantage of your alleged edge I
made a decision to come here today as opposed to play online I've had to call
the clock on the same guy three times and doesn't really make any difference
he I can't even imagine what he's thinking about I'm sure it's nothing
calculus related just got to hang in there for the long haul and make the
best place you can when you do get some playable hands so that's what we're
gonna do and we are in push fold mode now so hopefully we can run it up and
back up a nice stack for tomorrow
action pulls me in the cutoff and I look down at East five offsuit I have ten
blinds wish I was suited but we can't be too picky we're all in woman on the
button puts in the call restful she has ace King of Hearts and this is the board
and I am out of the Rio WSOP circuit $400 event made dinner break didn't make
the money now it's time for the drive of shame the current running total at all
Harrah's properties is five thousand nine hundred and eighty seven dollars
and a fifty cent loss or in the red let's find the green
