The first table

Hand #7 isn't very exciting. This was the first hand I was really involved in. I noticed that "Aces" limped and drew 1 card. Then he put in a bet when checked to after the draw. There is a possibility that he had a busted draw. I gave him credit and folded aces, but I might not fold next time...

Hand #14 isn't too exciting either. Aces has limped in a lot, so I probably have him beat. I'm fairly sure that Bull has a better hand than me, though.

I might have made a mistake in hand #15. Doublemeup seemed like a player that was capable of raising with a pair from early position, so I decided to get involved. The right play might be to reraise, and probably fold if someone caps the betting. Both blinds decided to call the single raise, and I learned that my two pair had been the best hand before the draw. This hand confirmed that Aces played extremely loose (calling and drawing 4). I didn't think that I could beat his hand post-draw after his bet, and when Doublemeup called I just dumped it. The fold might be borderline, because Doublemeup might auto-call a bet(from someone drawing four) with an unimproved pair.

I'd just dump this hand if I was sure that one of the limpers had me beat, but it was possible that Aces had some crap and Double was on a draw. I got that confirmed at showdown. How can I be sitting at this table without raking in a bunch of chips already?

I checked after the draw in hand #41 with the intention of calling a bet. Because of some earlier plays and frequent betting after the draw, I thought that Aces might be a bluffer. I gave him a chance to bluff. The check from Aces gave me some valuable information. I'm afraid that I didn't really take advantage of this information later in the tournament. That might have saved me some chips from borderline calls.

Here's my first real bluff in the tournament. I guess "Eights" had the better hand of my opponents, so the bet after the draw resembles a squeeze play.

I didn't get any good cards for the next 15 hands, so I just folded all of them predraw. I got a free play from BB on #61, but had q high after the draw and folded. I finally got a decent hand, but had to fold it after committing some chips:

When Doublemeup capped the betting, I put him on a big hand. I didn't think that kings up would be good, so I folded quickly. When he drew three cards, I realized that he was much more aggressive than I anticipated. I also think that it's a fold with aces in that situation, even if it worked for him this time. I didn't bother to think about the play from the shortstack. It's not a good play, but he busted out so I'm focusing on the other players instead.

A pair of aces was good enough in hand #67, so I won my first hand since #45. I got myself into more "trouble" in hand #68. This is the kind of situation where I'm not sure if folding, calling or raising is the best play. The pot odds and implied odds seemed to justify a call. It helped a bit that False was playing quite passively, but I didn't notice that until later. Bull had been limping in quite a bit from late position. This either meant some loose calls, or very passive play. I might win the pot with a pair of queens:

I tried to take down the blinds from the button in the next hand (#69). It didn't work, and I'm not sure about my call after the draw. I think I still suspected that Aces was bluffing quite a bit. Maybe I should have folded based on the information I received in hand #41. I'm not sure if Aces held KKQ or KKK. None of the choices seems like logical play (combined with the action), but I should probably assume that he is liable to smooth call with big hands predraw.

In hand #77, it bacame obvious that Aces likes to slowplay now and then. I just can't imagine that he would draw two cards to eights and a small kicker. I think I was a little allerted when he drew two cards. I really think that I could have check-folded this hand after the draw. Aces hadn't been caught bluffing so far, so I should probably assume that he can beat two small pairs here.

Hands 69 and 77 were quite similar, and this hand is extremely similar to hand #15. I'm giving Aces good odds to outdraw me, and he happily calls with a pair. Reraise preflop is probably better, but he might call with nines anyway. The only good thing is that he failed to get more chips into the pot after the draw. He couldn't fold 99 on hand #99 now, could he?

I noticed that False had been playing quite conservatively, so I attacked his blinds on several occasions. When he called me here, I thought that he had a pretty big pair. I decided that he might be eager to snap off a bluff from me. I checked, but I think I might have had some fold equity against TT and that kind of hands. Maybe I should have bluffed to try to avoid showing my hand.

Maybe False realized that he was being bullied. I might have enough to call the reraise since the pot odds are ok and he might be playing back at me without a monster hand. With the aggressive play predraw, I figured that False had a hand that he would bet with after the draw, so I decided to check raise. I hoped he would think this was another attempt from me to bully him. He folded, even though he only had a little more than one big bet left in his stack.

I'm wondering if my opponent limped in with KK or AK in hand #125:

Here's one of those hands where I'm not sure if my opponent is just desperately getting his last chips into the middle. I gave him credit this time. Kings is one of the worst hands I can have here anyway:

I hadn't really seen Aces do a lot of raising predraw, but I still think trip queens is a pretty big favourite against his range of hands:

The table broke up shortly after this hand. Aces had been the most interesting opponent. He had been playing very loose, but managed to get a big stack early. It seemed like he often improved his hands, and I probably called him down a little too often. I had gotten a little lucky on the last couple of hands, while Aces seemed to be running out of luck. The blinds had gotten quite big compared to stack sizes, so it would be important to play aggressively. With a little more luck and some solid play, I might make it into the money.
