Happy new year year everyone! So I didn't hit the PCA which was probably a mistake but I had some stuff going on around home but I did get to play in the Niagra Fallsview Casino Classic on Tuesday the 12th but unfortunately things didn't go my way due to an absolutely hilarious hand. The main event was a 5k buyin and we started with 20k stacks, 50/100 blinds. W/e fine enough structure, I consider tournaments more so fun and a change of pace from playing cash games everyday. Second level blinds at 1/200 is where the most hilarious hand of my now lengthy career takes place. I open with KsKc utg to 525, standard raise for myself so far. Table has been very in line, straight forward. Table is full of local southern Ontario pros including Gavin Smith and Toronto Toro. Anyways, utg+1 3 bets to 1500 and Gavin Smith cold calls in the hijack. I decide that were going to 4 town, I don't think there's any other option so I make it 4600. UTG+1 immediately calls, which I don't know exactly what that means but I assumed he was very very strong and honestly didn't love my hand the moment I was 3 bet after opening UTG. I guess that statement shows how relative position is such a cool weapon. Gavin Smith folds and we go to the flop. Flop is good but not great for my hand I suppose, Qs10s3s, I have the k of spades but I'm going to go with the hand as this point. I bet 5200 on the flop, villain raises to 15k which does not thrill me at all and I expect to be beat or flipping against a hand like Askx. Anyways, this is where hilarity ensues. Villain tanks and starts to swear. Saying things like "OMG I can't believe this is how I throw my tournament away". Keep in mind he made it 15k and he only has about 3k to call my allin bet. After a few minutes he decides he is pot stuck and calls. He shows pocket fives which is absolutely bat shit insane. I mean when he tanked I guess I assumed he was messing around but I assumed he had some king of equity. I mean who bluffs in this spot especially given my line, raise UTG, 4 bet, bet this type of board. I am never bluffing btw!!! He eventually calls and he shows pocket fives. Yes 55. I am shocked and amused obviously. I mean I had played pretty damn nitty due to not having playable hands so I assumed when we were getting the money in that I wasn't even in good shape but wow, 55, amazing! Anyways, the turn is the 5 of clubs, LOL ya. I blank the river even when I have a ton of outs. Bam thats the end of my day. Crazy hand right. Ya that shit still happens and I had to call a couple buddies to replay the hand and they both couldn't believe it. I had a room booked for the night, expecting to go deep. Good thing my gf could get a day off and come up otherwise it would've been a boring and lonely night. Take care kids and GL!
