So How much bling did I cash?
haha, ok so not much. Probably not enough to get my bankroll going... I can't sit in on no limit tables unless I have $1 so it's .02/.04 limit with 14 big blinds and only 7 big bets or more freerolling. I'm going to kind of give it some time before I just jump into it.
I really didn't play well I figured two people were strong because there was a raiser under the gun... a caller in early position so I flat called with 58suited hoping to hit... I hit the 8 and they bet out too strong, and I shouldn't have called but the UTG checked and the caller bet. I figured the caller could have just AK or something and he was bluffing though so I called knowing if I hit, I'm getting it all... basically then I called but didn't anticipate a check raise and got trapped between. Proabbly didn't QUITE have the odds to call, but there was enough of a chance that they were both bluffing or had a weaker hand... Plus if I folded now I would have to take a bunch of risks to get back in it, so although it may be considered a small mistake, I think folding would put me in a position where it would significantly limit my play, and force me to have to get in very iffy all in situations and I may have a chance to find profitable situations. It was also not worth my time to keep trying as a short stack as I really wouldn't gain much experience as a short stack, and the overall value I was playing for... So I got lucky once there... Then Didn't catch a hand for ever... and it wasn't a table for me to be able to see flops... It was aggressive with re-aggression raising and reraising and some calling.
There were a few loose calls as well. I think I called a couple raises hoping to hit and get it all but for the most part I didnt pick up a hand. I finally managed to inch my way in. I finally was moved tables, but it was pretty late by then, I was at a point where I really didn't have enough chips to make anyone in there right mind fold. So I was stuck waiting blinding down. So in the big blind I was raised and forced to either check or go all in. I figured there was at least a chance that if I checked I could check it down and stay in for one more hand in which I'd have even BETTER pot odds, and someone just might raise after a bunch of callers and isolate me headsup in which case I'd septuple up or something. Anyways I checked and flopped a fullhouse. I could have checked figureing somone might bet, but they might bet big and scare away people... so I pushed getting 1 person to fold and like 3 others to call. After this I had a couple of rotations go by... I probably passed up a steal opportunity when it folded around to me with 2 spots away from the button and I had 79, but if I were to steal it would have to be all in and I just didn't trust the big blind not to call. I folded like crazy again and then I had 27 on the big blind after raises and then only like 3X on the small blind on the next hand. I had 48 and I could fold and give up good pot odds (antes were in) move in and get called 90% of the time, or complete the big blind and move on the flop and my opponent will miss the flop a third of the time, making him much more likely to fold. As it was my opponent decided to min raise me. At this point it was useless to move in on the flop or after the flop as I would not only have enough for a min bet so I just moved in. My opponent had T8 and we ended up both hitting our 8s and the board paired and a jack hit so we split. The next rotation on the big blind I picked up K2 and it was me and the small blind. I moved in and got called by T8 again! I won the hand again. I managed to move in on the big blind the next hand and pick it up, and then I got AT and moved in and got called by two players and won. Anyways. I basically was in survival mode the whole time, but managed to survive much longer than I thought. The blinds were huge after that last triple up (they moved up again) and I checked the big blind, and then somehow the small blind put me all in.
Might not be a big cash, but it's progress.
The hands might not be in order. I have the end part on video ( after I was near or in the money). I kept it restricted to only the hands I played. I didn't set up the microphone commentary.
