Popped into Aspers and played the £40 £1K Gtd tournament with a 10K starting stack. Total prize pool was £1,500.
Key hands, first I flatted A10 on the button for 600 facing an UTG limp and the SB completed before the BB jammed for 8K I called to be shown A7 suited and held.
With 10 players left and paying 5 I open K9 from the button to 3,500 with blinds at 600/1,200 200 ante 6 handed, I got called by SB and BB. King high flop was checked through and when a 6 hit the turn the SB jammed for 52K. The BB folded and I called to be shown a flopped set of 7s. Thinking about it I should have let it go the bet made no sense but I should have just let it go and kept my 20BB stack and found a better spot. I didn’t go through the script…”If it is a vlaue bet what hands would value bet…” I just saw the chips and given the strange play called….perhaps discretion would have been the better part of valour.
Horrible journey home having missed another good spot to make some good money it was £500 for first and I had to decided to play through and do no deal.
I need to work on folding more I seem to call to often when I’m beat at crucial points in a tournament.
Watch Daniel Negreanu show you how it is done…
