@tchanchips You had AA or AK?

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

Wtf, utg opens 1200, I make 3200 utg+1, he calls. We check AKK85r to river and he check calls my 4200 with KQ.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

35bb in most tournaments feels fine. 35bb in level 4 of the main doesn't.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

40k. Value bet/folding rivers is sooooo fun. Ugh

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

Down to 50k in 1C. Missed two big draws, failed to protect JJ vs AK post. Table is not at all soft either. Oh well, it's a marathon.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

And gg. Mega now. 1c probably for the main.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

🤮 I raise utg with AK, button doesn't see it. Ends up flatting with 76o thinking he's stealing the blinds, snaps me off. 36k left.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

Good god what a grind. Profited the princely sum of 3500 to finish with 63500 which is like 8 bets tomorrow. Feels like I didn't win two consecutive pots for the last six hours.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

Rough couple levels and now I'm below starting in 10k lhe. Subpar table draw too. But still grinding hard and hoping for the best!

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

Out in 58th for some number of dollars.
10k LHE next

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

4bb at dinner, 60 players left. Send help!

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

120k on the stone bubble. This will be my first cash in any tournament since my kid was born!

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

100k on the button, about 2x average in 1500 LHE.
135 left, 82 cash.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

For those who might be surprised by this (I was!), apparently it's correct to bifurcate between 2x and jam at this stack size

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

Still turbo bounty, now about 150 from money from 3800 starting. Shortest stack at table w 75k at 2500/5k/5k.
I minraise EP A6ss, BB calls.
KsJs6d
Check, b15k, call.
Jc
He leads 15k, I call.
Kc
He jams my 35k...

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

So I called. Still didn't do the math but guessed I'm around 30-35% vs all of KQs/KJs/KTs, and some flush/combo draws. It's not great but with a bounty that rounds off to an extra 1/3 starting stack (8k) it seems like a clear call.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

First reasonably interesting hand of the summer:
1500 bounty 1/2/2, I open 600 hj, co calls, button calls, sb makes 3100, I call, co call, button fold. Opponents seem competent.
Kd4c3d. Sb bets 3k, I call, co snap shoves 16k, sb folds. I cover, bounty is $500.

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

Oops sorry I have QdQs

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

JJ<AKs, done. Time to focus on a fight!

[TChan poker updates @tchanchips]

30k ugh. Botched one I think. Hh later
