Tournaments are alright
Well, after 5 weeks of tournament poker, I successfully somehow went from never cashing in a sunday as of 3 weeks ago to winning one. I don’t really know what all to say about it, it’s a pretty sick feeling obviously that I’ve already made more in a day than I made all of last year plus some, and that if I really play hard I might actually make as much money as Derk this year.
I remember joking when I had like 1000 people left that I was gonna win it but obviously you never go into a tournament thinking you’re going to win, you just play your best and hope good things will happen. And they did, over and over and over again. It really hammered home how sick lucky you have to be to win any tournament, especially one like this. I won every flip I had and there were at least 6 or 7, and I also won some allins that I was crushed on, including having KK v. AA fairly late in the tourney for 3/4 my stack and having the board give AA a set and me a flush. Even headsup, I turned a pair outkicked and would have lost maybe 1/3 my stack on the river to the opponent’s value bet, but instead I rivered two pair and doubled up and put him into a shell that he never recovered from, as he started folding every hand to me, pretty much giving me the 30k.
The funny thing is also I wasn’t even paying that much attention to the million for the first couple of hours, I was fairly deep in the brawl (I finished 80th) and was really focused on that and playing basically on autopilot for the million. I was down to around starting stack with blinds at like 200/400 and I picked up aces a couple times and got paid off, then hit a set and tripled up, and just ran with it all the way to the FT.
I have to thank JCarver again for getting me into tournaments, and convincing me to start putting in full Sunday schedules, and for his videos on PokerVT.com which are very good, and probably better than Daniel’s to be honest, even though Daniel’s are very good also. The problem with Daniel’s is that I feel like he is making videos for a slighlty dumber audience, but I’m absolutely sure that’s the case so I mean I don’t blame him for the style of his videos at all, it’s just the way it is.
I also have to thank tommy and Vivek for making such sick cashes and making me want to play tournaments so I could get one of these sick cashes too. Also to Evang and Ben for declaring that basically I would never win a Sunday and that if I did they would kill themselves, because that gave me some sick motivation.
Stars has put up the video highlights of my final table, but I won’t comment too much on it because I’m going to record a spicebox video of the full final table whenever they release the replay of it, so that should be up next week sometime. In the meantime if you really want to see like 20 hands and some british dude talking about how aggressive I am (which will make at least Xyven and EC10 laugh I know) it’s here:
