| Re: YABPBN - Heartland poker tour $1650
I'm back home. Tired, very tired. Only slept about 3 hours. Got up at 9:30am to checkout of my room and enter the $240 Deep stack at 10am.
So, the hand in the $1650 that knocked me out:
I was playing very tight after some serious up and downs on various hands.
I had not played a hand for almost an entire 40 minute level. Very card dead and not speculating on rags.
I had ~19k in chips. Blinds were 800/1600 with a 200 ante.
I was UTG+1 with suited A9. Min-raised to 3200. Can't explain, just seemed right at the time. Tried to play the tight player making a suspicious raise that he actually wants people to call him on thing I guess. Two callers behind me, last caller was big blind who had about 35k.
Flop comes rainbow A97. No slow playing, taking the pot now. If they have a set, they have it. I move all in. Middle position caller folds. Big blind thinks about it for a few minutes and calls my all in. He has a straight draw. He called me with 56 suited and hits his 8 on the river.
I was stunned he called, but I politely said nice hand, waved to everyone and got up. As I was getting up, I asked him why he called me and he just say "I didn't think you had anything". Didn't make sense to me at the time and still doesn't I guess he couldn't think of anything else to say to me. I went out with friends for dinner and a play in Tully, NY and then got back to the casino around 1am, played until around 4:30.
As for the cash games, it was a zoo, but fun. The regulars there all agreed it was the busiest they had seen the place in a long time. Money was flying around. I saw guys with 2.5k+ stacks sitting at a 200max table. I personally pulled about 1200 off the 100 min 1/2NL and a 200min 2/3NL tables. I had a couple of swings myself with my original 200 buy-in. The 2/3 table should have been renamed to the raise to 25, get a few callers and let the fur fly after the flop.
I heard that a table earlier in the evening had hit the bad beat jackpot for $130k but it was denied because someone was on the cell phone at the table when the pot was hit. They review the cameras on the hand. They look for the poker card that you have to buy for $2 to see if you get a piece of the badbeat jackpot. Also if they see any cell phones in use at that table or anything on the table that could hide a card they deny the jackpot.
Guess that's about it. Oh, Heartland poker tour gave us a free deck of plastic cards, haven't looked at them yet.  |
