sigh.

So I had Day 2 of the Mansion 1k 6max today. I had low hopes as I’m currently 8k below neutral on pokerEV all-in luck for March.

I won a 50k race with AK vs 88 early on though, which rocked me to my core. I honestly giggled like a super fish at such amazing luck. This is honestly like the first showdown I’ve won on a Day 2 of a tourney (out of like 20 showdowns probably - 15 of those were 70/30 or better in my favour).

Like a stupid, stupid donk noob, I thought “hello, I’m running GOOD - today could be my day!!”

I had a pretty soft table tbh, and was stealing blinds at will. I chipped up to about 140k without seeing a turn card when I opened UTG with AKs and a donk pushed his stack in with 77. I lose the 120k race and thought “ah that’s better”.

I chipped up again and got up to 110k when I opened AK again UTG and a big stack got it in with AQ. I won the 220k runoff there, and was very uncomfortable and embarassed at such amazing, ridiculous luck. Not long after, I had about 250k and was one of the chip leaders with 60 left.

The next 90min I didn’t see a pair or an ok Ax hand and the table got really ugly nitty. A guy with the username Stev0L_ (not sure if its Stevol from Aust) came to our table and put on a display of hilarious nittiness. He played 6/6 for 2 hrs. He opened the button and I woke up with the best hand I’d seen in an hour (KQo) and I put him all in as I figured such a nit would need a monster to call for his stack. Probably bad logic from me as he had AA and won that race, but its really not in me to fold KQ in SB to button openers who have 15bb.

I battled away for another 30min and finally found 99 on the button. I opened, SB 3bet, I pushed my 16bb in and couldn’t beat AA.

I finished 43 / 924 for 3.5k prize. At least I made some money for my silly ChipMeUp.com investors, who all obv hate money…

  1. Nice effort Yoyo. Big score is just around the corner I’m sure.

    Out of curiosity, are you planning on going to Vegas for WSOP and if so, what events are you thinking about playing ??

  2. I don’t think I’ll go to wsop this year. I lose 30k in vegas 06 and 40k last yr. Vegas owes me but the prospect of dealing with so many tourney-loving donks freaks me out a bit tbh. I think I’ll head over with Vos and mcd later in the year for a NFL road trip and sth america scouting mission…

  4. My mum just got back from Peru. Apparently they have the highest internet use per capita in the WORLD!! Knowing how bad you run with Internet providers maybe Lima is an option ??

  5. Hey, dude, I have been reading your posts for quite a bit now and find them really amusing. I live in Brazil and if you are really considering moving down here to South America, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro in particular) is what you are looking for. The chicks are freaking amazing… btw the one in the previous post does look brazilian.. Anyway, I guess you’ll just have to include us in your scouting mission and see it for yourself.
