Coronament

Have not really been playing at all, played the freeroll a few times but have been knocked out early each time. Last time I played it I late reg'd, got TT in the CO first hand I'm dealt in, and raise on top of a limper. SB shoves on top, and then the limper shoves! WTF? So I think they're just screwing around so of course I call for all of my chips. Limper had AA but the SB had 99. It's a clean runout, the aces hold up, and I'm gone. In a way I felt relieved that I didn't have to sit through 2-3 hours of poker to collect 50 cents.

However, with my other activities being taken away I fired up the software last night and played the nightly GPP which is basically a freeroll (as long as you have 1 GPP in your account you can get in) with 10 cent rebuys. So I got in about 20 minutes into it and here's how it went. They had 95 entries which was the most I had ever seen on there. Nothing real eventful for me in the rebuy period, played one hand where I flatted an raise in the SB with AQo, but had to pitch it on the flop after I whiffed. Chipped up by taking the rebuy and add-on at the end of the rebuy period and had about an average stack. Onto some hands.

Of course I pick the word play of the 3 (rustiness I suppose) and just limp behind when I should either raise to isolate or just pitch it. But after SB makes a smallish raise and limper folds I think I'm priced in to see a flop.

TBH not really sure what the hell I'm repping here but I think there's a really good chance he doesn't even have a pair and would be hard pressed to call with even A-high. So I bet enough to get the job done which was about 1/2 pot.

I always hate these SB/BB hands but at least I have position on this one. When he pots the flop I put in the chat "Very Aggressive" as if I have a real decision to make. Got him to show though and this is valuable info cause now I know this guy is not necessarily afraid of an ace flopping when he doesn't have one.

Actually villain had QT so I had him beat the whole way but at least took some of his top pair outs away on the turn. I get a huge boost to my stack.

Now he fuckin bets pot and we see why. Worst card in the deck for me on the river. Maybe could have gotten away from this.

Went with it here thinking he missed and fortunately I was right. But hey, even if I get called I have three to a straight flush 😆😆😆.

Not much to report after that. Raised with a few hands and took down the blinds/antes (88, AQ, AJ) then we were getting close to the bubble and managed to sneak my way into the money. But I couldn't keep up with the escalating blinds and my stack was decaying. First hand after the bubble burst and I decide to just go with it.

And that's all folks. 3rd best hand (pfr had AJo), thanks for having me! Ended up finishing 18/95 though, not to shabby. Turned my $.20 into $.72 which will surely save me from this impending doom.
