went to the Grosvenor last night to play the £10 + £5 bounty,re-buy and found they had changed it to a £5 re-buy
i was thinking it was gonna be more of donk-fest than normal but was pleasantly surprised that it turned out otherwise.
we started off with 800 chips and blinds 25/50.
there were 50 runners.
i must admit i had won one hand up to about 10 minutes before the add-on and i guy i was meeting down there from a different forum came and sat at my table,and then my luck changed.
starting after the break with 8k in chips and a prize fund of just over £1100 after about 150 re-buys and i cant remember how many add-ons (not all me i will have you know
).
the poker was good and banter very friendly on our table and was enjoying the evening emmensely.
eventually we got broken up and the field went down very quickly.
on the bubble i got my biggest slice of luck,now i hadnt hit any top pair all evening and didnt in this hand:
cant remember the blinds but something like 300/600.
we are down to 5 players on each table,
i am utg and limp in with 5/5 ,all fold round to the BB
flop is A/5/4 with 2 Diamonds and 1 Heart,
i check, he raises and i push all-in (i have him covered) thinking he has hit the Ace with either a 10 or J...he calls,
how wrong i was, he had 2/3 for the flopped straight
i was gutted to say the least...
anyway the turn brings out the last 5
woohoo
to see the change in facial expressions between us 2 must have been a sight..poor guy walks away with £10 from the prize fund as agreed by all the players and i think he went straight to the bar.
after that we all went to the F/table and my chip stack went up and down like a yo-yo,and eventually went out with A/J when the other called with K/9 and hit a 9 on the turn.
i finished 6th for £60 and a very enjoyable night out and got in about 2.30am
