I played only two hands at my third table. Eliminating a player when I turned a straight (he lost with two pair). I bet on the flop with a pair of tens on a board of 10 K 8 and went uncalled.
I moved to my forth table as the big stack, having double more than anyone else. And truth be told, I am not used to playing the big stack. Short or medium is what I typically am yielding. I made a major misstep trying to push someone off a hand. I was dealt [Ad Jc], guy UTG limps I reraise to 7,100 on the button (2,000 BB) he calls. Flop comes [9s 7d 8h]. He waits and then bets 19,450 (pot) leaving himself only 10,455 left. I move all-in trying to push him off his hand believing he is not that strong (especially limping in 1st pos). He calls time and then calls [4d 4s], for a pair no draw. I was actually 40% to win the hand but turn and river blank and lose a large chunk of chips. Looking back he was pretty much committed to the hand, so folding is less of an option, however he overcomitted with his 4's and certainly considered he was beat. I am mixed on if I played that hand well. So I went from 112,768 to 75,513.
I played a couple of hands with decent holding but didn't hit anything and went down to 60,583 in chips.
I took another hit when I picked up A 10 off in the SB against a guy with only 1,738 in chips to start that hand. So I obviously put him all-in and he calls with 7 2 suited. I flop and ace and hits a 7 followed by 2 on the turn and river. I told him I wasn't even mad I was impressed. I would have felt worse had it been any substantial amount of chips, however I'm trending downward (46,787 by the time a play my next hand) and the moment with the money in site. My fear that I am donking off my money seems to be coming to pass.
And I almost did as a took a big risk against the player who called me with 4's. He limps again from early pos and I reraise to 10,000 (3,000 BB). He calls, flop comes [Kd 5s Ac]. I am first to go and I shove (for what reason I do not know. lol). He folds and I win my first pot in awhile.
I eventually eliminated the guy who hit 7 2 when I played A 3 suited from the button (just calling). Flop comes [3d Qc 3c]. Guy bets 9,000, I reraise to 40,000. Mr. 7 2 calls other guy folds, shows [Jd Qd]. I hit quads on the river and KO mr. 7 2.
I also eliminated another player when I raise with [Qd Jd], guy behind me moves in for 21,090. While I don't love it, I am getting 3 to 1 on a call and I do. He shows 8's. I flop a Jack. Back in business baby! 118,083 in chips
I used to not be a big fan of 3 bullet bluffs. However sometimes it is necessary to push your opponent of a hand. I get [2c 2s] in the BB. I check my option. Flop comes [4s Kh 6s]. I bet 8,000. One guy folds, guy check-calls. Turn comes [Jc]. Guy checks again I fire 10,000, he calls. River [3c]. He checks again. I was thinking of shutting down but I didn't think he would check 3 times with a strong hand, I bet 12,000 and he folds. Nothing better than a river bluff.
I finish that table trending upward 180,933 in chips, feeling like cashing is very possible and necessary.
