Iremmats - EPT Baden

[iremmats]

Im flying back to Gothenburg 10.15 tomorrow. I will stay there for like a week before I go to Vienna and Baden.

 

Overall, I must be happy with this stay in London. But its really frustrating to bust from the main event which I had been focusing on quite some time. And especially since I think I have been playing so good lately.

 

So no more roomservice for 5 days. Tilt.

12.15 the 27th Im leaving for Vienna. Pikabo, Auyne and Macaronis will go there too. One day later my stake Ogredani will arrive. After his big score on B2b yesterday I have high hopes in him. I hope he is on a heater.

 

I also have a big surprise for everyone. What it is? I will tell you in two days

Arrived in Vienna a few hours ago. We spent a few hours shopping and eating lunch. Tonight we will stay in the hotel playing the WCOOP and other things. We are all pretty tired.

 

Philip at Landvetter. He tried the BIG cake.

 

And he did of course fail eating all of it.

 

Lunch in Vienna. Three bolognese and tiramisu. Pikabo just won the first out of three "sten sax påse" for the bill. Eventually Pikabo lost and had to pay €50 for our lunch.

 

Whats up with the cola bottles? In sweden 33cl, in Spain 20cl and here 35cl??

 

Living room part of our suite.

 

And the bedroom part.

 

We also just watched Poker Superstars on TV. Its so weird hearing TJ speak german....

Todays event was full of really bad players. I worked my way to a double stack pretty fast. Then I raised witt TT and AQ and had to fold on the flop. Back to right above starting stack. A few orbits later I raise with queens utg. SB who played 90% of the hands called. He limped J5h two hand earlier utg. Flop 8d7d3c. I get allin vs his T9d which makes a 6 on the river.

 

My stake Ogredani were really unlucky. Starting chips were 3.5k. Lost AA vs 77 vs 44 in a 16k pot early on. Then he lost another 16k pot with KK vs QQ a few levels later and busted in that hand. Average was like 6k at this stage.

 

€100 with rebuys tomorrow.

Because the tournies doesnt start until 5pm and that we have breakfast in the VIP Lounge included in the hotel room price we got up at 10 this morning to get some breakfast. Superb! After that we took a walk into the city aiming towards the Louis Vitton store.

 

I found a really nice handbag for my sister. And while we were there. I fell deeply in love with a bag myself. A really nice small bag for my computer.

 

Right now we are resting in the room. Lunch in an hour or so and then heading to the casino.

Tournament yesterday went good until I got into a semi-setup. You start with 1500 chips. After the rebuy is over I have 14000 after making the addon for 3k chips. Then Im more or less dead on cards until I get AK utg with blinds 300/600 and make it 1750. SB calls. Flop 543. Goes check check. Turn A. He bets 2k and I call. River K. He bets 6k and I put him all for another 3-4k. He shows 55.

 

Today I busted after 20 minutes. First I lose 1600 versus a big fish. I raise with Q9d in ep. Fish calls on my left and BB calls. Flop is AQ9. The fish quickly grabs chips and gets ready to bet so I check after the BB checks. Fish bets 200 and BB calls. I make it 900 total and Fish pushes for another 700. He would do that with any ace, trust me. He shows A9.

 

Next hand I raise to 75 with 89s. CO+2 makes it 200. BB calls. Flop A85 with two spades. It goes check to the guy who made it 200, he bets 350. BB raises and I push. They both end upp allin too. BB has AK, other guy AQ with no spades in either hand. Turn and river are blanks.

 

Tonight I will play the EPT-satellite on stars and have a boring time in the hotel room.

Wow. What a sick tournament.

 

To make a long story short. I got a big stack very early through two big setup pots. After that I can more or less do what I want against tight passive opponents. With two tables left with only final table paying places im raising 40% of my hands. On the final table im dead on cards but manage to make it to 3rd place. My stake Ogredani goes and win the whole thing.

 

So, I finish third and he wins it. Much money to me

The main event today only had 107 entries. 18 places paid, 8k startstack and 40 minute levels.

 

I never seen so bad cards in a tournament. Normally you find like J9s or something like that and can make a raise. This time I was totally dry on cards. I blind myself down to 7k seeing a few flops with pockets pairs without any set.

Then I get AQo with Qc. Make a raise to 325. BB reraises to 850 and I call. Flop is AJT with only clubs. If he bets I push. He checks and I bet and he folds.

I blind myself down to 6k. Find the best hand of the day, jacks and win a nice pot. At 11000 after this.

Then is the key pot of the day. EP makes it 700. I reraise with AKh to 2400. SB flat calls me without any odds of making set. Flop is rags with two diamons and one heart. Check check. Turn is another heart-rag. He bets 2.5k and I push. He calls with QQ and I make the flush on the river. I got 23k now. Until the three final tables I get AKo 2-3 times and can take down pots preflop. Apart from that, I made one squeeze play and some blind steals, nothing else.

I work my way up to 70k this way. Average now is 35k. Then I lose most of it in 3 hands. First I raise with 45s on a passive table. A shortstack pushes and I have to call. He has AKo and even though I get a flushdraw on the flop and a pair on the turn his top-pair on the flop holds up. Next hand I raise QJs and another guy pushes and shows AK, I folded though. Hand after that Im allin vs TT and lose. I fold my way into money and find QTo with 33k and blinds 2k/4k. I push and AK calls. No luck for me but atleast I made another ITM for 4k euro.

Some new pictures from Vienna.

 

We were sitting eating lunch while suddenly a truck stops on the street next to us and 4 minutes later the car that was parked next to us was gone!

 

Erik "Ponti" folds the nuts on the river in Omaha. Skill game man.

 

No comments.

 

Suddenly a spaceship beamed down two aliens on the street.

 

In an hour we will play the €750+50 event. Last one here in Vienna.

Today I got the cards I so badly wanted in the Main Event. First 15 hands I get QQ and AA. Only problem is that I get my whole stack in with AA against QQ. Only to see him hitting a set on the turn.

 

Next stop is EPT Baden this weekend.

 

I would also like to send my greetings to all the swedes I met in Vienna. Really nice talking to all of you!

[iremmats]

Main Event of Bade went really crappy today. I doubled up after 2-3 hours in a really weird pot. I push with AJo on the turn when the board is T55T after other guy made a big bet. He finally calls me with 78 and a flushdraw. My hand held up and I doubled up that time.

After that I didnt win a pot more or less.

 

I will probably play EPT Dublin too. Cya there!
