today I'm going for max efficiency that means we're gonna maximum late reg the
wind $230 rebuy we're getting there right at 420 blaze it $230 to enter plus
$100 add-on should give us twenty two thousand five hundred chips which gives
us around twenty or thirty blinds to work with if we somehow bust the wind
before 6:30 we can max late reg the venetian three hundred and forty dollars
so that's our back-up plan but let's hope we don't have to use it let's be in
for three thirty and final table my favorite tournament of the week let's go
to the win
with blinds at 400-800 played in orbit we got some reads on our
opponents middle position asian male aged thirty to sixty raises to three
thousand into very enlarged raise action folds to the small blind who puts in the
call i'm in the big blind with twenty two thousand and pocket kings i don't
think a call is good we don't want to go three ways in case that horrible ace
pops off on the flop what we do want to get heads up or induce a jam so let's
just make it ten thousand just under half of our stack hopefully someone gets
curious and wants to see a flop or we're gonna get it in regardless asian male
and middle position shoves all in instantly small blind folds we call and
we're up against pocket queens let's hold for a 50k pot the flop comes five
six queen a few players at the table mom well under their breaths give him a king
he deserves it they're rooting for me turns an eighth and the rivers are six
and we're out of the win two hundred and thirty three by a net
loss of three hundred and thirty dollars it's 5:20 let's go to the venetian later
edge that three hundred and forty dollar
later edged Venetian 25-thousand starting stick blinds are 400 800 800
upon arriving at my table the dealer informs me that I'm just in time for the
big blind everyone laughs had my bad timing jokes
were made about me walking around a while and missing the big blind but I
told him I'm not a scumbag and that's not my style I'll play my big blind
action folds the middle position who limps everybody else folds and I looked
down at pocket aces the very first hand I loved pocket aces
make it 3,000 limper elderly reg Caucasian if that matters tanks and
folds no action thought about showing but and probably not best the very next
hand middle position opens to 1600 at the minimum I'm in the small blind with
ace Queen offsuit make it 5,200 he puts in the call we're heads up the fob comes
eight seven four two hearts we don't have a heart and I check hopefully he'll
check back all of his Jack ten Queen Jack Broadway type hands we can get to
showdown with ace high but he does not comply he puts in a bed of 8,000
probably has a hand like pocket nines or tens going for value and we put in the
fold and we're down four K chips okay that's a start
with lions at 400 800 800 I could move to a new table I have 27,000 in my stack
raise it up under the gun plus one with pocket tens to 2,000 middle position
calls 2,000 agen male age 21 to 40 on the button makes it 8400 what's he
reppin action pulls back to me 27,000 pocket tens not low in this spot but
something about the way you put the chips in the pot makes me think he has
ace king possibly a sack suited I might have had to tell on how he looked at his
cards so we shove all in for 27,000 original a collar folds and he shrugs
and puts in the call he has Ace King off suit 57% never felt so good
flop combs jack 9 7 Turner's a5 and the river is a deuce we hold and we now have
almost 60,000 chips
the blinds had 500 1000 1000 action polls to middle position who makes it
3,000 everybody folds and we have pocket threes in the big blind of course we're
gonna put in the call with our 55k stack the flop comes nine five deuce rainbow I
check planning on a check raised if he bets small but he does not that small he
bets large six thousand it could be doing this with a lot of hands like a
skiing ace queen try to take it down here on the flop it's very dry a lot of
our range has missed so I put in the call threes are still going to be good
here a lot of the time the turn is in offsuit nine great card for our range I
think about leading very small but I'm more likely that he's gonna just check
or give up if he doesn't have an overpair I check and he bets eleven
thousand a very strange bet considering he should be afraid of me having a nine
so his story of him having an over pair doesn't make much sense I think he's
more likely to have hot control or check an over pair when the top pick top card
on the board pairs so we put in the call still putting him on some sort of bad
straight draw seven eight six eight or ace high he's trying to get us to fold
we can still draw up to nine but we don't want to turn our hand into a bluff
and check raise so we call let's see a river the rivers in offsuit Jack we
check planning unfolding to a triple barrel because I don't think many people
will triple barrel on this board we still have a lot of nine X's in our
range and we could be trapping he quickly checks behind and shows out of
turn pocket queens I do not have to show any takes down a nice pot I'm now on
dinner break possibly with a viewer of the vlog and we have thirty thousand
let's bag and tag right after midnight
playing that one and then everybody obviously signs inconsistence like
register we go from 30,000 all the way down to 10,000 without winning a hand oh
we tried we tried to win some small pots they did not let us mines are now going
to be 800 1600 under the gun plus one makes it 3,600 I'm out of the gun plus
three with pocket aces I love aces we shove all-in for 10,000
he asked for a count and eventually puts in the call should be good Oh jack oh no
nowhere else
we get three or four shows through people are amazed that I'm shoving so
wide with a 15 wine stack but it is what it is I shoved eights
ace king ace Jack all reasonable Holdings then under the gun limps off a
10 blind stack elderly Caucasian splashing player over
limps out on the button with King 10 of spades the kajam would be okay here I'm
definitely not worried about the splashy player but the under the gun limper
could be trapping so we just call blinds complete and the flop comes nine high
all spades action falls to the splash you player who bets six thousands no
reason to raise and scare off the other players so we put in the call but
everybody folds her heads up first splashy turns a brick he bets 11,000 and
we're all in for 12,500 he asked her account and hesitates and puts in the
call I showed my hand and he mucks but you can't muck in an all-in situation
your hand must be shown he is ace eight off suit and he's drawn dead
negative
I thought you'd loved it Oh when I called open they discuss their
thoughts
like what happened with it so at that like final the blinds at one thousand
two thousand two thousand under the gun splash you player makes it six thousand
Indian male age forty to sixty pretty crazy player makes it seventeen thousand
we're under the gun plus two with East Queen and forty mm you know what we got
to do guys I fold and round to the next hand two
more hours left to play tonight we have fifty thousand going to twelve
twenty-four twenty-four it really botched the structure on this one there
shouldn't be this level in big blind ante it should be fifteen twenty five
twenty five so the hundreds can be colored off and
taken out of play get it right venetian I emailed the table II the Venetian
tournament director to voice my concern about the discrepancy in the big blind
aunty structure he promptly replied and agreed that there was a problem and it
will be fixed in the future props to Tommy at the Venetian
with blinds at 1,200 2,400 2,400 action folds to be in the cutoff I have King
Jack offsuit make a standard raise to 5500 off a 55 k stack a large muscular
Caucasian male on the button snap jams 32,000 chips action folds back to me
pretty close spot could be easily dominated but I think the snap shams a
little bit weaker think he would have tanked a little longer he had something
like Ace King ace Queen ace Jack just you know make it look like he has a
weekend he just wants to take down the pot now but we came here to gamble I put
in the call he shows two deuces let's win a flip flop comes Jack eight for all
spades neither of us have a spade turns the ace of hearts and the river is the
four of clubs we eliminate a player and have 85,000 chips
40 minutes left in the night hopefully we'll bag and tag we have 100,000 ships
going to two thousand four thousand four thousand with blinds at two thousand
four thousand there's eight minutes left in the night
I have 82,000 chips action folds to middle position who makes his standard
raise to 11,000 I'm gonna cut off with East King off suit just over 20 blinds
slam dunk all in the blindfold and he asks for an exact count he has two
hundred and thirty thousand to start at the hand so I'm putting him on something
like a screen ace Jeff you know maybe a small fair why not even use between your
snap calling that he says after he gets the count I'd be a terrible player if I
folded this so guys he has like a mid pair he slams the chips into the pot
after a minute and says what you got I show ace king he shows pocket queens
pocket queens but let's punish him flop comes seven four three
the turn is a four he's yelling for a deuce and the river is a deuce and I'm
out eight minutes before the bag hell of a day
