Since coming home from college, I've been playing much more tournaments. Lately, I've been making deep runs but havent had anything materialize. Luckily, last night I was able to finally pick up a win in a 45 man 24 dollar SnG. I know its not a huge score, 410 bucks, but it feels good to know that I can run good deep and close a tourney out with a victory. I think I played pretty well throughout, and when it got down to 5 handed I abused everyone at the table, becoming a super stack (my stack equals all other stacks combined) with 4 people left by noticing that everyone was playing far too tight for a short handed situation with huge blinds. It should have been smooth sailing from there, right? Not....at....all.
When it got to be three handed, blinds at 800/1600, the stacks looked as follows: me 36k, V1 17k, V2 12k. I then proceeded to double one of the short stacks, build my stack back up, double the other shorty, build my stack again, double the first shorty leaving me with 6.5k with blinds at 1k/2k. All the while, I was talking to my friend, Ferocious Kitty (who has a great blog going now that everyone should check out) who told me to keep fighting. I took his words to heart and continued to run over the table even with my short stack. My two opponents did not seem to realize that I couldnt have a good hand every time, and just folded to my shoves over and over. Using this strategy, I built my stack back up until we were all pretty even (22k-ish each) and then busted one of my opponents. I ended up getting it in on the first hand of HU with my K8 vs his A4. I hit my 8 and took this mofo down. Feels good to get a win after so long.
Dude, i started getting mad worried for you when you started pretending to be an ATM. But then i realized who we were dealing with and knew you were gonna pwn the bitches.
