1st half of this is about football/boozing 2nd is the last ftops events TL;DR

After a night of heavy boozing a question was posed.. what are you too afraid to buy 20 doublecheeseburgers? The answer to that question was obviously no but only 16 were bought. This was excellent preparation for a massive football (soccer) match the following day.

Five years ago my housemates and myself established our football team Singleton Park Rangers. SPR. The main reason for this was because we wanted a team of our own to smash the opposition in the intramural league. The Uni league was full of dicks and you cant choose your own teams without players being poached by higher teams. For the last 2 years our football team has been ejected from the intramural cup for fielding illegiable players against our biggest rivals. (A load of C*nts). We wiped the floor with them in both games however it was just unfortuante that the illegiable players in question scored wonder goals in both games to secure the wins.

After leading the league for the whole of the last season we lost it on the final day to the prementioned rivals. This obviously increased the bad-blood between us. The first time we met in the league this year we fielded a weaker side due to missing players and got spanked 6-1. Our next game was vs the same team in the first round of the cup. Nothing other than a win will do. They hit the post 3 times in the first 15mins until our centreback played one hell of a ball to our striker who converted a complete beaut. After this goal we dominated the game. They refereed the 2nd half and really took the piss. a 45minute half turned into 56minutes but we held them off as we still looked for a 2nd. As the other games ended people walked over expecting to see sloth taking an easy victory into the next round after last weeks slaughter.

That was not the case, the whistle blew and everyone went clean off including people form other teams who were overjoyed to see those league nicking and default cup winning scumbags knocked out in the first round. The night that follwed was ridiculous. It ended with us being ejected from the club (suprisingly not from the vip part considering the carnage was caused) for standing in a line of pairs, interlinking arms and bouncing each other along the dancefloor. Once outside the bouncing resumed with the end of the line being a stinking (probable urine contaminated) fountain. The police then turned up to see naked people fleeing from the scene and my mate explaing that it was an accident to which the officer replied yes im sure it was an accident thats why hes taken his clothes off first...

In terms of poker that ftops schedule really took a lot of me. I was utterly exhausted after the end of it, And literally did nothing for 2weeks other than bust outa mtts. I dont know how these guys put in that amountt of volume week in week out especially when running bad.

124/5500 in the brawl for ~$850. Lost some very questionable spots (in terms of villans calls)
Early on I got lucky with AAh on a K94hhh flop v 99 to get chipped up.
Im shocked that with only 150 left theres still guys chasing a $40 bounty.,Im still shocked that there were 3 droolers on a 6max table that deep! SWEET!

The guy behind me had been playing shove/fold from having 40K on 800/1600. So this severly narrowed my opening range. My first open for 3 levels was from the BTN with AKdd he snap shoves 44 over me and I pick up a FD on the turn and brick. This drops me from 50K to 20K on 15/3000
After a few rounds I shove KQ form SB and BB tanks with K5 and gets a chop.. sigh.
UTG opens on 2k/4k to 9. I shove 29K. he snaps 9Ts leaving himslef 8k back? I hold. I btn shove 22 for 50K. the SB has 57K and the BB has 38K. These 4 hands are the only ones I played so BB obviously snaps with K8o. LOL/SIGH when 8 drops. Finally get it in with AQv QT and lose.
Early on I got lucky with AAh on a K94hhh flop v 99 to get chipped up.

The main - 612/5000 ~$900
I lost small pots with QQ/AK in the first few levels and eventually 4Bet it in with AQ v TT in a spot where I think its incorrect not to 4BAI based on dynamics of the previuos hand.
Im now on about 15K. LP opens and I flat call with AK from the SB.
a) I like to trap dominated hands as very few people flat call with AK in mtts.
b) I dont like escalating the pot when we're so deep and Im OOP.

Flop comes a dream AK5ss. I have the Ks as back up. I lead out for a PSB. he calls. A low spade drops on the turn and I ship. he tanks and AQ no spade and is drawing dead.

Now I have 33K and am crusing with about 1200/5000 left. On 500/1K EP has opened for 2399 and had 2 callers. both are aggressive good players and I believe that they are rasing premium hands for value. Instead 1st caller is utilising his position and the SB feels valued in. As I have only played AK I feel like this is a great spot to take the 11K down PF I make it 6250 with 84dd and get it through the OR after a tank fold. the 1st caller now tanks and calls. SB folds. AH well ill need some help on the flop. A84. I lead for 10.200 and he tank shove AQ, I hold and am in the top 50/1000.

This is the hand I regret not playing. If id had a good series I think I gamble here. but min cashing for 900 is a big chunk of peoples %ages back. I open AJcc to 2.4K (6/1200) and a shortstack shoves for 10K Im calling this as his shoving frequencies are too large and Im getting 2-1. The guy behind now shoves for 50K. I feel like hes gambling and isolating the shortstack with a medium strength hand I think JJ+ he flats or makes a smaller 4bet as with a bigger ace. His stats on OPR show hes a decent winning player and im the only other stack on the table. I see decent player isolating in these spots for such larger amounts which seems suicidal to me. Ie moorman ISO A5 from utg +1 to shortstack utg shove for an insane amount of M. Anyway I just feel like it a good spot for me and the extra 14K in the middle is inticing. Im pretty certain that If I hit I win. And I I hit I have 120K on 12/2400 and can really abuse the table with that stack for a superdeep run. I fold b/c 60K is plenty to continue with and Id hit the J v his 10's and SS's KT.

I misplay 88 OOP and make a bad river call for 3600 and blind down to 30K with 600 left.
Same opener as the 84dd hand MR my BB. I call with 99. 9K6dd. I need to get maximum value from this hand so I opt to check and let him cbet his entire range. On the turn (5x) I decide to check again (and if he checks back I checking the river). Hes seen me smash the pot with AK/84 which are the only two big pot I have played so I feel like he has to try to force me off on the turn. He drops into his timebank before setting me all in. he tables QTo and binks the J. BAH!

I have A LOT of work to catch up with at uni as its my final year so I dont think ill be playing much at the moment although saying that I can already feel the mtt bug back in me after those deep runs.
