FTOPS Event 1 Rail Thread

[SwoopAE]

Who else is playing today?

I got off to a bad start when AQ<AK on an ace high board in a 3bet pot to drop from 5k to 3k, built a very laggy image breaking even and then found a nice spot to run good and double up. Villain was the same player as the AK/AQ hand and we were in the middle of some verbal sparring which I left in when the hand went down.

Who else is playing?

[SwoopAE]

7073 chips at the first break. The best player at my table is the guy I doubled up through; he's a solid TAG. I have a guy who seems ABC, two nits and a new player at the table at the moment.

Flopping 2p against the table maniac helps. Won a couple other small pots, up to 9k now

Ouch. Villain had been floating me a lot and folds all one pair hands to the check shove including AQ. I didn't figure KJ was in his range and felt he mostly has Tx and Qx type hands all of wich he folds and if he has 2p somehow then I have outs.

Got a bit back here though; sitting with 6.6k with the average at 7.4k; Very is the only remotely reasonable player at the table, leb is a total donk and the other three are nits.

When he called the turn I figured he had KsQx or ace-rag of some sort so I gave up on the river expecting to be screwed. Fortunately, villain is worse than I thought he was.

The hands aren't notewothy but the chat is awesome. When your opponent resorts to suck my balls, you know you're doing something right.

[SwoopAE]

7672 at the second break... average is 8600; i'm rolling my table with 3bets and stuff although sadly a nasty incident against Very ate all of my profit for the hour. Silly me semi-bluffing into the nuts

Didn't pick up any monsters other than AK once all hour; if I hit some cards next hour I can see myself taking 20k to the third break. If I don't hit some cards i'll probably be out. We'll see.

[SwoopAE]

Won a flip against a short stack when I bet/3bet committed on the flop bvb with oesd + overcard vs top pair and got there to move to 14k

Dropped back to 11.7k (avg 13k) after raising K8 in the SB, getting min3bet, calling, checkcalling a KQx flop and then checkfolding the turn to a strong second barrel on the low spade turn putting three spades on the board (I didnt have a spade). In hindsight, I needed to lead one of the two streets and my line was very bad.

[SwoopAE]

We're about to enter the pushbot phase; sitting with 9.8k at the third break, avg 17k, 600 paid 1372 remaining. I have a tough table, lots of 3bets and i'm card dead so it's very difficult to accumulate; infact i've lost 5k since I got moved here. I've only seen one premium hand in 2 hrs though so hopefully I have a fourth hour card rush.
