59 Runners £30 Rebuy Pot Limit Hold Em

I got to the first break with like 11,000 chips which was above average and blinds were only going to be 400. So I was in comfortable shape. I also was happy that I detected a really big tell off the crazy guy to my left, when he leant his face to the left and bet he was weak and right he was strong. So I was hoping to demolish his stack using this tell. I get 6-6 in sb, lp limped I called. Flop came 7-7-3. I lead for like 800 and he called. Turn came 10, I thought it was too likely he called with a 7. So I checked, he bet 800 though, leaning to his left, So I called. The tell obviously aiding an otherwise close decision. River K, I checked , he lead for 1,000 again utilising the tell I deteced so I called and he said " good call" turning up 5-6 (busted straight draw).

Few hands later, he raised to 1,600 utg. I look in bb and find K-7. I noticed again when he bet he was leanning to his left so I followed my conviction and re raised pot which was 3.5k back on him. He didnt look comfortable at my raise but after a bit re raised all in. I disapointed in my read gave a bit of acting and folded. Then he made me happy and flipped up 6-6 confirming my thoughts that he was weak. He said he thought I had big cards. Even though I lost the pot I was happy with my play. If he wasnt such a freak hed have passed to my re raise. I mean he raises utg ,gets re raised and he re re raises all in when hes deep with 6-6 lol.

Soon after I get moved and am quite short, luckily I find K-K in bb and double through a lp raiser with AQ. Then I get Ac 9c in sb and limp re raise pot to the ss in the bb. HE calls leaving 500 I tap him on a 10-10-4 flop he calls with KJ and is out.
I noticed I had 3 LAGs to my left so I was careful about what pots I would riase and made a concious effort not to raise with junk in position this time . I find Kd Jd and limp, they both limp. Flop falls Kh Qs 6s. I would usualy bet here to avoid the draws coming off but I know they are gonna bet for him, so I slyly check, immediate left leads for 3.6k the other called. blinds passed, I read the guy to my left for nothing at all really ,at best a Q. And the caller for a flush draw. I re raised pot, which was all in. They both passed , the 2nd guy wanting to see if a spade would come....it would have. I am not sitting around 24k maybe more. I find KK again!!! I limp ep , LAG calls, an abc player raises pot , i re raise pot he calls all in, hes got the A K and I dodge another bullet. Burnt cards were A A x lol. Now I got like 43,000 with 28 left or something. FT average is 44k so I am very content but still keep to my gameplan. 7 handed, I find As 9s in UTg +2 , I raise to 4,200 (bb 1.6k) immediate left ss pushes for 11k total, then LAG re raises all in . SB dwells and folds his AJ. I got nice timing eh? FOLD. They have 2-2 vs Q-Q. I wouldda hit my ACe but eh who cares.

Soon after we are down to like 22, 7 handed on each, utg raises to 10.5k (bb 3k) I lost down to maybe 35k at this point cos of blinds but am not worried...anway I look and see K-K LOL. I look at the raisers stack and he has another 3k, I decide to just call and call it off on flop. I also give bb big stack a chance to call and dump me another 7.5k. He folds and flop is A-10-2 . SS pushes , I call he has AJ. sigh. Now I got 17k.bb 3k. I already made my decision I wasnt gonna wait too long. We were down to like 19 now and I was ready to push and pick up 4.5k or double thro or bust likely. Next hand I find 3h6h but decided against it simply cos i thought theyd figure I was on tilt. So I waited for maybe one or 2 hands, when I chose K-6 to riase pot with. 10.5k, AJ boy calls on button. And at this point I felt strongly he had JJ+. Normally I would push wahtever flops but 6.5k I felt hed call wahtever hand he had. So I decided I would only push if I hit. Flop fell 10-2-6. I check/fold to his allin. And overhear him saying " I didnt know he riased"...What did u have , said guy nextdoor..." two Aces".....That lucky git wakes up with AA first steal I make.Sigh. Next hand I push all in for 6.5k with A-3. mp calls as does bb for pot odds. they check K-7-8 , turn 10.mp bet him out holding TT and I am out in like 17th.

Even though I didnt cash, and I had a big stack. I left thinking that I played possibly my strongest since coming back to uni. Granted I got Ks a few times, but I wasnt afraid to do strange or unorthodox moves, cos I was going with my instinct. Also , I really played my 2 tables so well. I acted accordingly where maybe sometimes Id try and be table captain and neglect the fact I have 2 super agressive and loose players to my left. So for that I am happy. I am leaving for lanzarote on thursday, I will play the wednesday tournament simply cos it xmas holidays and I wont be able to play live till january. But even then I won't be playing the live comps expectin to make money like last year. I suit a deeper stack game, and to be honest I am too unlucky in that place.

I ll post on my final winter tournament on wednesday night. Peace.
