100 £1 STTs Completed ..... and Duffs!
Well finally tonight I played my 100th and last £1 STT and I'm pretty pleased I've finished this challenge. I've just lost the last 3 with some beats ....
1. Dealt JT, Flop JT7, oppo has 98. (I go bust here on £1 tables everyday)
2. Dealt 33, Flop 983, oppo has T7 and we get it all-in on flop, inevitable 6 on turn
3. Dealt QQ in BB, raise to 120, oppo has limp trapped me UTG with A5 suited and goes all-in. I didn't stand a chance :)
... Nothing astonishing there but I feel that Crypto is just warming me up for a terrible run and I feel if I carried on I would lose the next 10, the Crypto bad run is coming but I'm getting off. Stats and graph below. Not a bad effort as very difficult to take them all seriously and incredibly bad calls do result in incredibly bad beats. And not all the calls were by me either :)
Duffs was as good as ever, really enjoyed the golf despite shooting 130. My first game for 12 months and with regular play I could knock 25 shots of that score next time. Putting and short chipping need immediate help. Dibble also gave me some excellent tips about my driving and getting the ball out of the rough. Unfortunately I kept letting the team down (Me and Dibble vs Ariston and Womble) so we were resoundingly thrashed in our fourball. Sorry Dibble.
Back to Duffs and I didn't actually have much spare cash on me after buying into the main event and the golf. But I did have enough for a £30 STT which I won. Tight as a ducks arse to start with, get down to last 5 without I think winning a hand and then open up. It's works on the £1 STTs and it over time it works well at any STT. So I made £120 profit by beating Mandylou heads up. Which was the buy in for the main event ...... which was nice.
Main Event started at about 8.15pm which was a bit late for me. On a table with Dibble (he follows me everywhere lol) Wonky, Snap, Mandylou, Keith A, Radix and Sarah (DJs missus). And of course as it's an MTT I play it utter rubbish, trying woeful bluffs with 10 High, playing AQ like a numpty (ended up representing trip Kings on the river) and moving all-in with J6 just before the break when Wonky put in his standard raise. He had 98 and nearly called.. The community cards were dealt and I would have doubled through had he called!
But after the first break I had approx 8,000 chips and was getting a bit tired, thinking about how this would end at 4.00am and the fact I had a game of Squash booked for 9.00am! So I limped a few times with rubbish and missed, raised a few times and got them through and finally just after midnight I pushed on my SB with J7 (Blinds 500/1000 with 100 antes) and was called by Keith with his AT. I was out, said my goodbyes and drove home.
The difference between my STT game and my MTT game is incredible. I can fold for England in STTs and if the hands don't come wait for the blinds to get big and start attacking. In MTTs I cannot see the big picture, get bored to quickly and tend to chuck my chips away on calls/raises I wouldn't make in STTs. Sarah was a good example on what I should be doing, she hardly played a hand in the 1st 4 hours but was happy to enjoy what was going on around her and patiently wait for the hands. She ended up coming 10th and won a buy-in to the $50K. It's not a complicated or difficult strategy, I just cannot do it in MTTs :(
Write-up is rubbish because I have the memory of a goldfish but I do remember that I enjoyed myself immensely. wp gg :)
