Started the Day 1 of the $lk event today along with 2,601 other people. $3,000 in starting chips and just a struggle, got to a low of 2400 and a high of 4200. After four hours of hard laboriois play I was at the starting stack of 3k.
BUT I’ve worked hard on my game the last year and worked hard to pick my spots and to take my time and yesterday it was rewarded.
Young gun moved to my table with some chips, I’m just nursing my original pathetic stack when the following hand occurs: I raise from the cutoff with K J off. He calls from the blind. Flop 8 6 6 check/check turn is an 8 he checks, i check. River a 7, he fires big into it .. about 1200. I knew he didn’t have anything because of the way it came down. I call I say only to see him turn over J 10 and my K was good. A few hands later, he was still tilting and I raise his blind again with QQ. All In he proclaims, I have to call I say and he turns over JJ and I got his chips.
Long, hard, arduous day but a great tribute to patience and solid reads. 2,601 started, 260 end and I’m 2nd in chips with 103k. Chip leader has 110k. Anothrer start day today then the remaining players from the two days play down on Monday.
