A Good Day
Sunday was a good day, I came downstairs and turned on the PC and found a whole new tournament schedule on Poker.com. They had some server problems recently and used the opportunity to update the schedule with lots of new events. My friends over at the forum were like kids in a sweet shop. I had a couple of hours to kill before the Poker.com Forum League MTT so I regged for the amusingly titled Quarter Quicky.
The idea was to get a few hands in so that I`d be in the right mental state for the upcoming game, kinda like a warm-up. Well it didn`t quite work out as I exected. I chose not to risk all on doubling up early on and mucked pocket jacks only to see the early position all-inner win a nice pot with pocket 10s. However I plodded along, picked up a few chips and slowly the field of 276 runners fell away. I was pretty short-stacked by the time the bubble burst but I managed to survive a couple of all-ins and before I knew it I was at the final table with a decent enough stack. A few players were wiped out in short order and I think there were 7 left when I was forced into a hard decision.
In the BB for 6k UTG raised all-in for 12k and the next player also pushed all-in for 14k. The action folded round to me. With K9os it was an extra 8k to call, which would have left me around 20k. I had very little information on the 2 players and decided after some consideration to fold. (Please feel free to leave me a comment with your thoughts on this decision). Well at the outset it looked a good choice, QQ vs A-10, the board however mocked me by producing a King and a 9, Still 1 player virtually eliminated, he actually had about 2k left but lost the next hand.
After this the winner of that battle quickly moved into 2nd place and I really was cursing myself for not risking the call, but that`s hindsight for you I guess. Pretty soon after it was down to just the 3 of us with me in 3rd. The poker gods were being kind though and I hit a few hands and moved into 2nd place. The chip leader seemed content to sit back and let us fight it out and I took my opportunity to get it to HU forcing a decision on flushnblush on her BB when I pushed with 9-10s. I went into the hand slightly behind, she had a jack, but hit a 10 and that was it for her.
After a few hands HU I was chip leader and the end came swiftly for my opponent. On the BB I found myself with KQos and raised about 3xBB, he immediately pushed all-in. It was a no-brainer really, I called and he turned over A-10, but a Q on the flop sent him to the rail and gave me my first (non-private) MTT win on Poker.com. A modest prize but one that I`m very happy with nonetheless.
