Random Tidbits
I played a single $20+2 MTT last night and ended up in a pathetic 42nd/181. I never really had any hands, and I didn't really get action on any of the ones I did have. A couple of funny hands first.
Blinds 50/100, 2 limpers, SB completes, I check in the BB with 79o (no heart). Flop comes 2h2d9h. SB checks, I bet the pot (400), 2nd limper calls leaving himself with only 450. Turn comes Jd, I bet 450. Limper sits there for a while, says "lol", and eventually calls with 2s2c. Thanks for the slow-roll, dick head.
Blinds 75/150, 3 limpers, SB calls, I'm in the BB with QhQd. I move in for about 1450. All fold to the SB, who thinks for a while then calls with ATo. This is just such a terrible play. Against a normal player, there is absolutely no hand you should just limp with from the SB in that scenario and then call a raise for 10 more BBs.
Then at the 150/300 level, I'm in the SB with A9o and the BB is "Away". All fold to the button, who makes a standard raise. Obviously I have to move in here. I do, the button calls with AJo, I get no help, and I'm gone.
I'm also trying to put together another home game tonight since nobody really has work tomorrow. Hopefully everything goes off without a hitch.
In other news, Nordberg is now officially ridiculous. Yesterday he made the WSOPC New Orleans final table in 2nd chip position behind Gavin Smith. This guy is long overdue to become a big name in the poker world, so I wish him good luck today.
