Well I went to Mohegan for the first part of the weekend. I played the 100+25 Bounty event on Saturday Morning at 10 am on 4 hrs of sleep. Yuk! I did well staying even for the first two and a half hours which was frustrating. Start with 8k in chips and after 2.5 hours still 8k in chips.
After that I blasted up to 62k in 30 minutes finally catching hands that consistently held up. I lost a big one to the player to my right who raised my 3k big blind to 6k. I reraised to 15k knowing that he would have to commit all of his 22k total stack if he called. He went all in over the top and after 30 seconds I called with AQ diamonds. He revealed KJ. Flop Q-10d-3 turn was a diamond. river 9 of hearts. He caught the straight. It was a good hand and I think we would have ended up all in regardless as he was open ended after the flop. There were only 18 left in the tourney at this point. We started with 76.
I didnt catch a hand after that and finished eigth for 273 dollars plus two bounties at 25 each
Side Note: On the second hand of the Tourney I was first to act with AA and raised to 125 all folded and the BB called 275 in the pot flop was A-blank blank, check-check, Turn A!!! for quads check check river was a blank 200 raise and he folded. I showed the Quad A's made a whopping 275 on that pot. Definitely a rush whrn the fourth ace hit.
Sunday Morning on double the sleep I played the 120+25 bounty. Win a hand lose a hand.
There was an older pakastani gentleman sitting two seats to my right, I have to give it to him the guy was catching everything. Early he knocked out the gentleman to my right with a set of 10's over a set of 8's to give him an early stack and he got very loose. every time I had a hand he would call down any bet. I pick two pair A's and 9's he turns over trip 7's on the river. I lead with jacks to the river he catches the K on the river. etc etc etc. and he would say every time. Very nice hand....but you lose again! with an old man pakastani accent. He was very polite but I could tell he was having far too much fun letting me know that he won.
At break he told me was playing draws and loosening up because he had the chips. Blah blah blah!
in the end I was very frustrated and went all in pre flop with 10's. Of course he called with Q's and won again with the same statement! Arrrrggghh
Whatever! He played very loose and caught. I guess it happens. We will have to wait until next time. 58 dollars profit. Not going to retire on that!!
