I'l skip the formalities and just list all the notable hands.

Day kicked off at 12 noon, started with 30k @ 50/100. Get seated at my table with players as follows:

Seat 1: Old rich looking guy. The biggest nit I have ever seen in my entire poker career. Literally did not win a hand until 150/300/25 and aside from limp folding once or twice a level did absolutely nothing.

Seat 2: Tricky/splashy young american guy. Opened a little too wide pf given his seat but was generally a good hand reader post flop.

Seat 3: Young scandi, v v good. Possibly skjervoy, would be hilarious if so.

Seat 4: Bad nit

Seat 5: Sitout later replaced by average nit.

Seat 6: Me

Seat 7: Another scandi, did a lot of calling and not much of anything else. Saw him overbet bluff a river once so maybe he had something else in the locker other than call call call but wasn't impressed for the most part.

Seat 8a: Old guy, opened fairly solid ranges, readless on him aside from that.
8b: Recreational middle aged american player. Played quite well for one of his kind but a bit of a tellbox.

Seat 9: Good young american pro, constantly taking notes (lol).

First hand I get AQo, 8a opens t250, 9 calls I fumbling call from bb after asking the dealer "how much more it was" (I'm also wearing my England cricket shirt to this effect). Flop is Q75ss I check 8a bets 600 1 fold I call. Turn 8c I c/f 1500.

I fold a few orbits and seat 3 who has started out opening a lot opens t250 utg1. Seat 4 3bs t600 and he's pretty young so I cold 4b t2100 next to act with 54o. 3 folds 4 makes it 4500 I call, flop comes KQ3r he bets 4700 I make it 10100 he folds.

I open MP with KsTs @ 75/150 7, 8a, 9 call. Flop is 872sss I cbet 800 8a calls others fold. Turn Tc I check he bets 2k I make it 7200, he snap shoves for another 15ish I call he shows 222 and I hold. Up to a little over 60k, everything good.

2 opens MP t450 @ 75/150 and has been very active recently, 3 3bs next to act t1400. I make it 4150 otb with 94o folds back to 3 he makes it 9400 with a little over 20k behind. I go allin and he does the backflip call with KK.

I flat seat 9 utg open with JTo from btn 8b calls from bb and leads 1k at 866r. 9 makes it 2400 I decide to "overfloat" since it looks insanely strong and I can probably get him off and overpair with stack sizes. Turn 4x chk chk I bet 6200 with 15k left both fold.

I open KcJc t525 @ 100/200/25, 7 calls 8a calls 9 calls, 2 calls. Flop 872ccs checks through to 9 who bets 2500. I call and two guys behind me both call. Turn Ks checks through to 9 who bets 9500, ughhhhhhh. After much deliberation I ship for another 21k, thinking he's probably good enough to have air sometimes since the other two would play big hands fast on that flop texture or he could be committing his stack vs those two (they both have 10-15k) with a draw I'm in good shape against. Obviously his range is still nutted so I wasn't wild about shoving but I think it's the right play. 7 folds 8b snap calls for his last 12k 9 thinks for a long time before folding what he says was KQo. Anyway 8b flips 6s9s and river is 7s, asdawfwervtvy£rv£%yv5YYVC. Down to 20k.

Folds to me otb and I open Td8d t1100 @200/400/50 (can you guess what it is yet?).
8b quickly makes it 5k off about a 50k stack. I'd seen him 3b a few times before and he'd always make it around 3x and had shown down big pairs twice after doing so. There was also a lot of 3bing going on and I thought it might be a case of "monkey see monkey do" and on top of this he was a tellbox and giving me his plzfold AND I'd opened every single btn folded to me with him in the bb that for the last 3hrs (literally). Sooo I shipped it and he did the sigh call with AK and held. gg pca. Hope you enjoyed the hands, I know I did!!

That's all, I'm going to get some room service, have a few drinks and see what plo is running.

Gl all,
Rob.

also, my thoughts:

54o is kinda meh, depends on ur reads. but once you've decided to make the cold 4bet and he makes that 5bet sizing, u dont have much a choice but to call. idk if im bluffing on that board texture tho, definitely depends.

94o is just kinda un-necessary altogether imo. i wouldnt squeeze to begin with.

i really like the overfloat w/ JT if you assume your opponents to be rational handreaders

The KJs hand I'm not folding, I'd do the same as you there.

Lastly the T8s hand is total spew, idk how much experience you have live but that kinda hand range w/ that raise sizing is generally from hands that dont want action, but will still call you if you shove. Stuff like AK/AQ and TT, if I'm plugging my narrow read on his range. You have very very little FE on ur shove, I'd just muck.

I think all the other hands were standard, ur flopped flush hand can really go any way, my default would be to bet because I always think people are gonna assume I have the nuts when I checkraise the turn, but it couldnt hurt checking this particular hand on the turn to establish a more balanced turn checking range since we're probably check-calling a bunch of pairs and okay draws and pair + spades

the JTo was by far the best fancy pants of the all fancy pants.

In your shoes, my TR would've been, 'I had AQ, flopped tptk, called down 3 streets including river overshove. gg'

lol dan, same with me. seems really tight to c/f that turn there. maybe it was right

about the other hands i agree largely w/ clayton, most of these hands seem spewy except for the jt which seems pretty brilliant.

Agree with bobbos.

Why is the JT insanely strong? I understand the argument but this is a board that can be overfloated with some equity hands as well.. or if seat 8 is a donk, he would not even care much about relative position and just play his overpair. Once they check to you it's obviously standard to bet.

I think my jam with T8s is awful, the guy has probably never 3b bluffed in his life.

45o, probably pretty bad too. My thoughts at the time, 3 seat had started opening a ton of hands, 4 seat made a very small 3b which I thought could be some sort of medium str hand for value/bluffs and a little less weighted towards AA/KK. W/e it's going to be really hard for him to play anything in this spot readless 300bb deep. Obviously (maybe not obvious) I am folding to a 4b but when he practically min 4bs I flat thinking his hand is exactly AA and I can get him to fold some coordinated flops. KQ3 isn't the best for it but I can still do a pretty good job repping a set (even though it's retarded to actually raise with a set he is readless so it doesnt really matter). I mean it's level 1 ffs.

94o, terrible. Didn't think he had anything, was wrong.

KsTs, yeah pretty std just to 3brl it and probably better from a balance perspective. It was before the 94o hand but I still had quite an active spazzy image so I thought I might get his whole stack if I c/r turn and set up a river shove. I also get a bet out of some overcard spades that he'd fold to a bet with and he called fairly quickly after looking at his cards (could be a level but he didnt seem the type) so I thought he might have something like this or maybe 7s7x for example.

JTo, it's really not a spot to "randomize my buff freq by equity" it's a spot where captain tell has announced via the tournament director that he has 8x/77/99/TT type hands and the young american pro will raise all overpairs for value+ some overcards and he has very little 6xs in his utg opening range. Good spot to take advantage of capped(ish) ranges with stacks so deep and try and pick up some chips with the bottom of my range.

KcJc, pretty sick spot, what does everyone think of b/f KQo as seat 9?

with AQ call the turn but basically NEVER call the river

i would pretty much never check the turn with KTss

the 45o and 94o are just unnecessary. i realize you can play so many small pots early in poker tournaments without having to put anything serious on the line.

the guy has NEVER 3b bluffed in his life, you're right
