Semi #2
I played in both the semi final and the limit $215 this evening. Nothing remarkable happened in the $215 and I finished somewhere around 100th. I caught a few hands early, got bad beat by one guy a few times (just like last night’s semi-final) when he made some incredibly idiotic plays. That was about it.
In the semi-final I actually got off to a good start. I ended the first break with 6k, and by the 4th break had about 20k. At that point the blinds got up in the 1k and 1.5k rounds and I never saw a hand worth playing for an hour and a half, so my stack dwindled to nothing. I finally ended up all in with KJ against 99 and never improved to end the day. I finished 70th or so (17 cruise packages were paid), and it was rather frustrating to play for 5 hours and miss. I don’t know if I am going to play tomorrow, I may just wait for the 10 pm tournament or not play either. I still need to pack for Vegas, and I need to play another $900 worth of SNGs on UB to max out my bonus for the week. I think there should be enough action tomorrow to find $109 ones, so that won't take long.
Those are going very well for me. I have played 14 and won 7 and got one second place. The second place should have been first as well, but the clueless chump got incredibly lucky heads up. The structure in these is amazing. The long rounds and small blind increases really allow you to take advantage of the extremely weak opponents. I hope the people at the $109 are even close to as awful as the ones at the $55, because these people are amazingly bad. They play bad hands and play them all as badly as humanly possible.
Well I am off to get in a SNG or two before bed. Goodnight.
