GUKPT Main Event Day Two

Where do i start... arrived at the vic just as everyone was taking their seats, starting table was good, had a really good seat. One of the chip leaders was to my direct right, he opened two of the first 5 pots or so and i had already decided to 3bet him next time he raised, didn't have to wait long the following hand he makes it 3600 at 600/1200/100 on the cutoff, i didn't look and made it 13,600, and then i dunno what the hell happened im usually totally fine live but i could feel my heart suddenly beating really fast and i was getting hotter and hotter as he tanked, i was very relieved when he finally folded, must have been a few nerves early on or something because i was fine after that.

The table was super tight and i was playing pretty loose opening a lots of pots, picking some good spots to 3 bet and pretty much running over the table, then i pick up AK of clubs on the cutoff and made it 3200, the sb jams for like 20k i snap and he has A3 and i hold, off to a sick start and up to around 92k. I tighten up a little, and at 800/1600/100 i raise to 4200 on the hijack with AA, the bb Peter Peter Charalambous, raises half his stack, i put him in and im in great shape to win a 60k+ pot with AA vs TT, T3347 and im down to 55k but still in with a shot. I then pick up 99 in ep at 1k/2k/100 and make it 5100, Dave Colclough flats from the sb playing a 27k stack, and the bb folds, now Dave has been flatting raises oop a couple of times already with less than 20bb so i don't assume he has a huge hand even though he should in this spot, the flop comes K34 2 diamonds, Colclough checks and i bet 5k, he shoves and i call, he has KQ sigh and i don't spike a 9, down to 30kish.

I shove a few times and then the table is broken, and i get on the new table with 38k at 1200/2400/200. One of the first hands at the table i make it 6k utg with AQ, the button flats and the blinds fold, flop is 1093 and i lead out 6600 he raises i fold, down to 26k, i then shove the following hand, and then an orbit or so later Josh Gould who was to my left on the first table, who raise folds a lot makes it 7k, the button flats and i shove for 28kish with 88, both fold and im upto 46k. The next hand Josh raises again to 7k and i jam with A10, the sb then tanks for eternity then finally shoves with JJ, Josh folds and JJ holds and im out in around 60th.

So the trip to London has been a lot of fun, but poker has been really really disappointing. But i can't really take too much from it as its still a really small sample size of live tournaments iv played and another time things could have gone a lot different. Thats a big downside of live poker it could take years to put enough volume in for variance to even out a little. Anyway back home now, feels good to be back, currently playing some sunday donkaments so you neverrrr know!

Random hot asian chick to comiserate imo...
