I went on a horseriding holiday in spain in august. Because my flight was early in the morning I decided to stay in an airport hotel on friday night. This gave me an opportunity to play a tournament in the fitzwilliam card club. The tournament was a €40 double chance, bounty tournament (with a €20 rake ).
Well I sat down and got stuck in, and there was one extremely loose guy at the table, who was accumulating chips rapidly. I managed to take a couple of small pots down, early on. Then I called one guys resteal with KJo and lost a few chips. He was short, and this wasn't the first time he tried the resteal.
I then raised limpers with Q2 suited, and the flop came down with a 2. I think I bet the flop (with only 2 players left in it), and the resteal guy called. The turn was a harmless looking 2. I bet again , and the resteal guy thought for a while, before shoving all in. I called instantly, and my set of 2's beat hist pocket sixes on a lowish board. So I had my first bounty.
I then managed to win another bounty, when I was dealt AA and again there had been lots of preflop limpers and I put in a pot-sized raise. The board was fairly low and I shoved all my chips in. One player left in the pot, who's trying to get a read of me with speech play , eg "Why would you shove if you had anything?", I think you have AK", "Do you want a call?". I told him I just wanted him to make his mind up and then "yes" followed by a quick "no", and he decided to call showing mid-pockets to my AA, and I ended up busting him. I was well stacked, probably one of the chip leaders by the break. I then proceeded to donk off the chips, in two situations. One where someone flopped a fluish and I kept betting every street with top pair. Another on a KKx board, where there had been limpers, and I raised with rubbish and got one caller. I put in a continuation bet, and bet the turn, which committed the other guy who was sure he was behind to AK but shoved all-in, and with only just over 1BB I had to call the rest. Somnebody else had said they had folded a K. He only called because he had a suited K. My final shove, was when I hit a flop with a Q but pocket 7's had hit a set. I might play that tournament again.
I got €20 back for knocking out 2 players so it was a decent way to spend the evening).
I flew out on saturday, and a taxi had been arranged to take me to coin.
