Stars ITM - $20+2 MTT.
Saturday, September 03 04:37:20 AM 2005
I finished the Stars $20+2 Friday afternoon MTT - ITM! 564 entrants, I got up to 49th. I was happy I didn't go out on the bubble... but I went out shortly thereafter. My chip stack was healthy early on: I was able to limp (when the blinds were cheap) w/ 44, and I hit a set against 2 other aggro players.
MTTs have always been more fun than ring games (for me), so I might start satellite-ing more. It would be fun to play in a big event.
34-54th: $39.48
(Entry: $22)
----------------
= $17.48
Meh.
The best thing about this tourney was surviving past gank, who busted out at the 25/50 level when his AKs didn't improve against a mid pocket pair. Speaking of AK suited - I don't know if I like this move (of gank's):
b: 10/20. gank (~T$1400) limps UTG for $20. Folded to MP/LP (~T$1000) player who raises to $120. Folded around to gank to goes all in instantly, flipping AKo. The AK didn't improve and the MP/LP's JJ (or TT) wins the pot. I think gank had around 340 left after this hand...
^^ Is that a good move? I don't like it b/c the blinds are too low, and the only time he's going to be called is when he's beaten. Right?
Hmm. Maybe that's just tournament style poker waaay above my head.
