Thanks Flayst and Lukeellul92.
Hey everyone! It was a great experience playing my first live MTT and... a nice result!
Carddead
I started the first 75 minutes totally card dead. I kept patient while others were picking up monsters. I finally got a hand (A9) open it UTG hoping i would get some respect but 2 people called and then someone jammed. Ez fold. Then made a good fold with AT on A67J2sss board where villain showed me a flush. After going card dead again and couldn't find a good spot to get it in i went down to 5 big blinds 2 big stacks on my right who kept opening and i just didn't had a good hand to get it in with.
Back in the game
Then finally i got a hand, AK. Shoved it for 5 big and QTs called. Hit a king on the river and villian a straightdraw, which he missed on the river and gave me the double up.
Funny hand
A few hands later i pick up pocket 8s in the small blind. A very weird hand. Agro bigstack opens and it was my turn. I tanked for a while look at my opponent on my left (not the raiser) to see howmany chips he has. He was prety short and i was looking for around 20 seconds to my opponent in the big and he folds, while i still had to make action. The big stack gets angry at me saying i have to make a decision and don't look to my opponent on the left because I made him think it was his turn. I quickly moved all in and he got even more mad, saying i made a trick on him and saw he was weak after he got mad that the bb folded because i was looking to long to him. He tanked for a bit and called with A2. 88 hold and i get another double up.
Honey, he called me with K9 honey!
Later i had around 15 bigs and pick up KK in the bb and a guy opens. I shove and after he tanked for a while he called me with K9 and said ‘’lets flip’’ lol. 9 on the flop but a king on the turn. Finally I had a decent stack and possibly a nice result. I continue to play my strategy and play tight. After a few levels we reach the final table and the blinds went up prety high and everyone was kinda short 10-15bb and 2 bigger stacks. I played tight and didn't really play a hand untill we were down to 5 players. Where i started to pick up some small pots.
Deal
After someone busted we decide to make a deal. Instead of 3 players getting paid each pay out gave EUR 20 to 4th place. Then quickly someone busted and we're down to 3 guarenteed EUR 140. I was a short stack and was waiting for a good spot to shove when the 2 big stacks got in a big pot which made one of the big stacks a shorter stack.
Bust hand
The blinds kept going up and got us in a ICM situation where i had 5bb, guy on my left around 15 and the guy on my right about 6bb. I decide to shove K9 from the btn and the bigstack snapcalled me with JJ. Prety unlucky the bigstack woke up with a nice hand but overall I had a fun times, gained experience and walked away with some money.
I was a little nervous in some spots but i got compliments from players and they said the didn't believe it was my first time live
. Friend who was with me busted in 15th place unfortunate, but he was railing and said i was looking chil and played nice
I'm very happy with how i played. I played prety standard and didn't make any mistake in my opinion. Didn't
bluff early and only did it twice at the final table in a limped pot when it went check check twice and had to take a shot for the pot and took it down.
