Live By The Sword

And Die By It Too !!!

I decided to be ultra agressive from the start in the 9 handed seat for an EPT package but it failed , its not a bad way to play though if you know how to use a big stack if you get one and also when it failed you aint that pissed off about finishing miles away from a win only package. Way better than waiting for cards or finishing top 3 or 4 with a weak stack anyway.

Key hand after building my stack by 10% was the one below:

Seat 1: rimsfs (1965 in chips)
Seat 2: The_Viper (2165 in chips)
Seat 3: indsdress (1920 in chips)
Seat 4: TheDeacon (1930 in chips)
Seat 5: ClintonO (2150 in chips)
Seat 6: ---00--- (2035 in chips)
Seat 7: 25Bums (2035 in chips)
Seat 8: Animal (2210 in chips)
Seat 9: udonthani (1590 in chips)
udonthani: posts small blind 15
rimsfs: posts big blind 30
----- HOLE CARDS -----
dealt to Animal [9h Tc]
The_Viper: folds
indsdress: folds
TheDeacon: folds
ClintonO: folds
---00---: folds
25Bums: folds
Animal: raises to 90 (i would have raised with any 2 linked cards here 54 or higher the way i decided to play)
udonthani: folds
rimsfs: calls 60
----- FLOP ----- [8d Ac 8c]
rimsfs: checks
Animal: checks (hindsight = mistake but to represent a big hand eg AK or flopped full house i was happy with my play and would bet a percentage of the time here)
----- TURN ----- [8d Ac 8c][2d]
rimsfs: bets 60
Animal: raises to 210 (i dont realise i have the best hand here but his gay sized bet looks like a weak pocket or flush draw as their are 2 flush draws there, weak pocket and i win pot there, flush draw and miss and i win with bet on river)
rimsfs: calls 150
----- RIVER ----- [8d Ac 8c 2d][9d]
rimsfs: bets 120
Animal: raises to 660 (yes it was risky but his gay pay me bet also looked like a i dunno where the fuk i am bet so i know i would push a lot of hands off here by raising, as it turns out the way he bet it meant i suffered from a double whammy river. Instead on winning a 615 pot i lose another 660 due to way he bet the river, i doubt very much his gay bet was trying to induce a bluff , most people have no idea when they make these bets)
rimsfs: calls 540
----- SHOW DOWN -----
Animal: shows [9h Tc] (Two Pairs, Nines and Eights, Ace high)
rimsfs: shows [6d 5d] (A Flush, Nine high)
rimsfs collects 1935 from Main pot

That left me half stack and i only ever semi recovered before pushing in on a straight draw and missing to get back to starting stack, fair enough.

I have a $160 game at 10pm with good blinds structure and i think i may enter the $154 CPC double shootout shortly so plenty more hands and agression to come :))
