So far today finished 7th place in a private freeroll at merge and 7th in 500 added ofc at Colt poker,thats the good news.
In the private freeroll-
1. The play is good
2.Suffered a beat when I raised preflop with a9 ds and flop is 2 710 of ds(nut flush) and the 1 caller had pocket 2s. On flop he checks and I bet 200(min) he calls, turn is the ace of spades and he snap shoves allin with his set and I call for 1/3 my stack and 10 hits river.Ended up coming back and placed 7th
3. At the final table im in 7th with 8 left and 17k. Utg goes allin for 7.5 k and the chip leader in mid position calls, folde to me in bb with 88.My thoughts are if I call and I assume the big stack has aq ak aj and the flop hits a big card and no 8,I will have to fold and be the short stack,so a call is no good, so if I go allin another 10k to the big stack and if I win it all im in good shape,if I at least I beat the big stack ,I have 20 k, and if the big stack wins it all I still get 7th. I see no other play than go allin or fold. I go allin and the big stack hits ace,no 8 and get 7th. I think I played it right,what do you think.
4. A critical hand in the ofc at colt- I am early position with 6k and pocket jacks, I call 400(bbs) and a loose player in mid position goes allin 6.5 k. It is folded to me,I think a long time and figure I probably have the best hand, I call ,he turns over pocket 9s and I double up. I have been only calling with 10s or jj in early position for about 6 weeks now and it has paid off many times with big pots from hitting top sets or middle sets. Im going to keep playing that way. That hand gave me enough chips to steal a lot of blinds from then on.
