Everestpoker.nl – My Recent Tournaments
29 March 2009
Everestpoker.nl – My weekly live tournament last time around was a truly memorable occassion as I came back from the brink of elimination early on to win. This week I hoped to even come close to emulating my success last week, but playing a final table of an Omaha tournament online just before I left for my local Holdem tournament did not help me much.
When I began playing, I found myself in a rather different, high tempo frame of mind, and made a bad read to bluff off 2,000 of my 6,000 chips in the first three hands. After taking a little while to settle down and stop throwing chips around, I realised I had only 2,800 left with a field of 21 players still intact. After seeing my big blind flat called by three players I managed to double up after trying to pick up the blinds by moving all in with a small pair, and being called by two overcards. From there I started playing better poker and my chipstack soon began to grow.
Before I knew it I had made it to the final table, although I wasn’t a particularly big stack with 11,000. After a good fold when I had 5,000 already commited to a hand, I made an all in move with (Kd,10d) from late position, walking into (Ad,Ah) in the small blind. My luck saved me though, as my flush draw on the flop was completed on the turn, and I continued to get busy from there until we were 3 handed. I had to find some luck again when one of my blind steals went awry with (9s,2s) and my opponent quickly called with (A,K) but a (9) on the turn eliminated him to take us heads up.
After a drawn out heads up battle, I eventually lost after getting it all in with (Ac,Qc) against (5,5) and my opponent flopping his set. I had a chance to win it early on if I had called an all in with a very small pair, but a second place following a first place last week, certainly isn’t anything to complain about. www.everestpoker.nl
