Well, I decided to give the $100,000 guaranteed a go on pokerstars yesterday. The prize pool was $225,000 with 22,500 entries so it was a big big tournament.
The starting chips were $3,000.
I got off to a ropey start, my A9s running into pocket sevens, and that was me down to $1700.
I got back in the groove a bit later however, when my all in shove with T9s was met with a call from a middle position and the guy flipped over QQ.
The flop came down as follows:
K-7-3
The turn card was an 8
The river dropped a Jack (It was the Jack that would eventually oust me too).
I played the rest of the tournament fairly tight aggressive, ran into a brick wall with my QQ as the caller of my $32,000 raise was holding KK and no luck out.
With 370 left of the 22,500 I had around $170,000 chips. The blinds were at 6000/12000 with 1000 antes. I'd just lost a massive pot with 33. I sensed the other guy was weak, so I put him all in on a flop of J-8-J. Oh he was weak alright, but slightly stronger than me. He found the balls to call all in with pocket 4's!!! And I was down to $95,000 at this stage.
I got deal AQ in middle position. There was a raise of $25,000 before me, so I shoved all in. The initial raiser had AK.
Flop came down 3-T-Q
River was the Jack. And I was out in in 362nd for $90.
Still, an enjoyable run of which I will more than likely take up again.
