omfg no way ffs finally i cash in a f tourney….

I really wanted to do well in the 6max today as 6max is basically proper poker and everything else is a joke. I started pretty well, chipping up to double stack without seeing a showdown but I dumped in a big pot in blind battle vs lag when I had JJ and he had AJ on AxAxx board.

Moved tables and chipped up again and was sad to see our table break and I got moved back to the lag’s table. I had about 20k (10k starting stack) when I opened button with 22 vs the same lag and he 3bet me out of BB. His range here is so wide its ridiculous, and I’m almost 4betting or pushing for value - I structure 4bet rather than push to hopefully discourage low pair call-offs, but he pushes and I’m priced in for a massive pot (probably 3x avg stack). He flips AKs and is disgusted to see 22. Window card Ace and I’m devasted and gutted and left with 900 in chips (the pot was 40k plus).

Next hand I wake up with JJ UTG and put my stack in, the lag isolates me with T4o and I double to 2k.

5 hours later, the lag is gone and I am up to 90k and nearing the money. I fought and scratched and fought for that whole period, and super happy with my recovery after the big race loss. I had some nice cards with 40 players left and pulled off a lot of light 3bets nearing the bubble.

There were very few poor players in this tourney, with almost all the players on my tables being pretty decent. Annette_15 was railing a couple players on my table and they were both pretty good and made my life very difficult. One of them now has 300k and was opening every 2nd hand - I 3bet him a couple times and he insta 4bet pushed on me, so I stopped 3betting him pretty quickly…he was using his big stack very well.

5 minutes from the end of the day, I lost a big pot with top two to a rivered straight which sucked pretty bad, but I didn’t play it so well, I probably should have gotten rid of him by raising big on turn but he hit his 7 outer and I paid him off on river which sucked.

I’m a bit short now but the structure is really good so I’m fairly comfortable - I also play short pretty damn good now I think, so I’m not too worried, but I’m hoping I can get some nice setup hands in my favour tomorrow as I had absolutely zero setup hands in my favour today.

There are 19 left and 150k for first so I’m in with a shot - but mostly, I’m just f relieved to finally cash in a f tourney ffs - ding…..
