One solid evening of poker for me last night. In addition to poker I was also looking forward to the Steelers game finishing (had the hedge on so didn't care who won though leaning towards Pits winning of course).
The first tournament of the night for me was the Donk2Shark event. Finished 3rd and had a few chances to finish higher but couldn't win a couple races. Happy with my play in that event where preflop raises are given a ton of respect. The guys are generally tougher on each other than we are in blogger events (Waffles and MiamiDon excepted!) without the teaching. Lots of PXF guys which all seem to play a similar tight aggressive style. Not a problem... adjust a bit and try to give a less tight appearance to get them to overplay hands.
While the final table of the D2S plodded along the WWdN: Not got started. In early rounds of blogger events I like to start off quite aggro to keep people guessing. Won a large pot with TPTK when TP 2nd kicker called my overbet. Those extra chips allowed me to almost coast to the final table. I did make one stupid call with AJo when L8Bloomer raised large. That was one of those moments when you are in a big hand on the other table and your brain turns off. Soon as I hit call I knew I was dead... sure enough he had AQ and I doubled him up. He used those chips wisely since we ended up HU for the tournament.
The topic of Sharkscope results came up during the 5 minute break which didn't have me looking very good at all. My results in MTTs that are non blogger events haven't ended so well so I show up as a fish. The truth is that I am an alright player when I focus... but a donk when I don't.
Looking forward to getting to play live with Smokkee in a couple weeks. The goal is to play well in a live event at the Commerce Casino. Take out Ben Affleck! We will see.
