Full Tilt 750k Guaranteed

Well I decided to buy in to the Full Tilt 740k guaranteed tournament, which is by far the biggest tournament that I've ever bought into.

So I'm playing right now and I'll just have a running log on here about how it's going.

I was in the shower for the first few hands.

Right now the blinds are 15/30 and my stack (starting stack 3000) is at 4530 and i'm big stack on my table.

The first hand I won I had 9c3c in the big blind for 20(from now on bb) and a player raised to 60 and got two callers so I called. flop came 8c9s10c. I checked, raiser bet 125 and got one caller, I raised to 300, one caller. Turn is an ace, I bet 700, guy called. River king of clubs but I'm worried he has nut flush draw so I check, he checks.

I picked up a couple more small pots with AhKh and JJ. Had aces on the button, raised, blinds folded.

Just misplayed two hands... same exact hands back to back Kc5c first time flop is 33K I bet in late position, get check raised and fold. Second time A65 rainbow I call player's weak bet, raise him on turn, he calls and bets 1k on river. I'm at 3025 now, not happy with myself.

Just lost 800 on a badly played hand with 5h6h. Need to stop bluffing with mid pairs.

Just got lucky with As6s sb pushed for 430 in what looked like desperation when three people limped, I called, flop 623 and I win. Now at 3440.

just flopped set of three's and filled on turn at 4950 (was donking chips off letft and right)

Just won a big pot with KcTc in the bb (100), guy raises to 300, I call. Flop 9Tx, I check he bets 500 i raise to 1k he call. Turn king, i check he bets 500, I raise to 1k, he tanks and goes all in for like 830 more< i call and he has A9 I dodge river and win. Now at table with Barry boatman, I have 8135.



Just won another huge pot with KK I limped and to my disappointing surprise three others limped plus the two blinds so six people saw the flop of 369 rainbow. I checked, one guy bet 400, (blinds are at 80/160) button called, blinds fold and i raise to 1550. Guy tanks and goes all-in, button folds. It's like 3.5k more to call. I'm worried he has a set but I eventually call, he shows TT (sigh of relief) ace on both river and turn and I win.

Now at 14100 blinds are 80/160, I'm 53 out of 1733. Tourney started with 3400 players or so.

Just made the nuts against the big stack but played it small to ensure I got some money (KT on button).. blinds are now 100/200 I'm at 17140.



We're at the second break and I have 22940. 15 out of 1450, avg. stack is 6893, chip leader has 35k.

Just lost 1k with KJ offsuit, raised pre flop got one caller, got check raised and folded on flop of 569.

Just won a stressfull hand with 99. Other big stack raised and got one caller. I re-raised from bb, big stack folded other caller called. Flop Q45 rainbow, I led for 2.5k into a huge pot and he folded.

Wow just won a 6k pot with QQ I raised pre flop other big stack calls (he always calls me) flop comes Axx, I check he bets pot (he always does), I call. Turn Q we both check, River x I bet 2k he calls so he must've had ace. Now at 32k and 6 of 1090.

Just called a guy's 2k preflop raise with AhQh, bricked and folded on flop. 28.7k now.

F'ing breezy on my table is going all in every other hand and now has 19k, check raised me when I had 33 on 456 flop and I folded, I have no idea what she's playing cuz no one has called her. I'm at 23k now.

Fuck just dumped like 12k with QT flop was 1074 guy has T7. 12k now.

I suck. 9k now.

Just shoved from the sb with A3off guy had raised to 1500 with blinds at 250/500 and 50 antes now at 10.6, needed that one.

Just shoved pre flop with a6, took blinds/antes, then check shoved on a chick when I had JQoff and flop was AA7 she value bet and I shoved on her.

14.1 now, approaching bubble.

here it is.. TT in the bb..WOW.. this is all I have to say:



So lucky.

Now playing hand for hand to make the money.

In the money.

Just lost like 4k with 22 got checked raised on the flop.

As I was typing that won 10k with AJ now at 32k.

Just made a huge bluff based on the person that bet. Although I think she actually had something like JT or QT because she took extra time to think about it before folding:



Very next hand I get QQ re-raise and player folds.


Sitting at 36k+ now. 83 of 378, 10k above average.

Now won AK vs. short stack 77



Went on a sick rush on new table had AA against KK



Went up to 91k and then dumped a lot back with 44 vs. 77.

Now at 45k.

Just won a hand on a ridic bluff:



What a donator.

New table is much more active. Now after the fourth break I believe and at 52k, blinds are 1k/2k with 250 antes.

Just made mean bluff now I'm at 56k.



Was getting blinded down like a motha and just bluffed a guy to get back up to 64k. Actually I guess it wasn't a bluff but i shoved pre-flop with A4off after he raised me in the sb..

77 min raised under the gun everyone folded, 67k.

86k now.. just won a big pot with AA, raised a raiser preflop he called I pushed on JT6 flop, he folded.

92k raised with As2s no callers.

85k getting blinded down with weak hands.

Was down to 75k had KQ in bb, guy went all in for 34k, I call and flop the king. At 123k.

180k going into the 830pm break.

Blinds now 2.5/5k, antes are 600. People will start dropping like flies.

AsJs raised to 15k no callers, 190k.

197k, bet flops twice with open enders and other player folded. Pretty substantial pots too. Luckily they folded.

227k and I have railers from FCP, so flattering (seriously!)

Getting blind down, 216k.

Lost couple big hands to finish the tourney in 48th.

QQ I lost to AK all-in pre flop.

Then I was at 133k and shoved with A7 (blinds 4/8k, ante 1000), guy calls with KQ and flop is 9T7, turn x and river J, Good Game me.

Anyone from FCP that was watching, I appreciate the support that was very satisfying for my first big tourney although I wish I had made it further. Could have avoided pushing on that last hand probably.

Peace.

216k to 0 ...cmon dude...unless it was total cooler hands, there is no way you go out that fast. Its like that guy that was chip leader in the ME FT and finished 9 or something. When you play fast you bust fast. anyway..nice cash..

To Tekmo - thanks.

To Anonymous -- I think you've missed several points. #1 point being that I announced I am very inexperience at tournaments.

#2. I was 6/56 remaining. Obviously I am disappointed in this outcome. I called an all-in with QQ and lost to Ak, that cut my stack in half.

Then I shoved to try and steal the blinds/antes with A7, was caught by someone calling with KQ and lost.

So how is there no way I go out that fast? It happened, I learned from it.
