First of all, I was the bounty. I wasn't sure how this would effect anyone's play against me and it turns out it didn't do all that much as I don't think anyone was playing more or less due to my "disadvantage/advantage" of being worth an extra point upon being Knocked Out. I did find myself with just about a double stack early on, however, I think it was due to some nice hands that were catching and not really due to extra calls that wouldn't have happened if my opponents weren't trying to cooler me. My tournament was going smoothly, Shae was to my left and as Shae usually does, she calls probably way too much and wittles down her stack really early. Then I looked down at Ac-6c and raised it up. tables are split up 5 and 5(missing Jake). I have Shae to my left, then Jaime, Terri, Chivers and then me. Yes, I'm at the girls+Chivers table. Anyway, Ac-6c, 100-200 level and I raise it up to 550, Shae calls, because that's what Shae does, folds all around. Now I notice Shae only has about 4K left over. The flop is pretty awesome, 3-3c-4c, I think and a big part of me hopes that Shae has some small/mid over-pair that she'll like. I bet out 1100 and she raises all-in. This is strange, Shae will have the nuts almost all of the times she does this, however, she previously stated how all her chips were pretty much gone and she'd probably be out soon so I was thinking she just didn't want to be bullied and thought her over-pair was probably best. I like the option of the nut flush draw and possibility Ace would be good, or even a 6 could be good in this spot, though not as likely as the others. I think it was 3500 more to call and so I'm getting 2 to 1 on a call and I'm cool with that plus I have a large stack. She flips over 2-3(off...I think...?) and I Ace the river but my flush doesn't come so she's doubled up and I'm back down from 16K to 11K. Next group of hands I lost a few pocket pairs, one hand with open ended w/2 overs didn't catch and was down to about 8K(starting stack) and Shae was pummelling me, probably had her stack to about 14K. At this point she lost a large pot(5K or so) to Chivers in a 2-pair vs 2 pair struggle and so I was hoping to get them back from Chivers when I looked down at Ks. Chivers, 200-400, raised it up to 1200 UTG, I 3bet him to 2500 and was hoping to get stacks in asap as he actually only had about 7K more and that's more Chivers style. Chivers called and the flop was K-J-7. Chivers bet out 2500 and I shoved, thinking he'd never fold in this situation. He thought for a few moments and then folded, I swear he told me he folded Jacks, but afterwards, I'm thinking he meant 1 Jack and not a set of Jacks...
Oh well, I got a decent stack of 10K moving to the final table when I doubled up Shae again and then Terri, too... I hate it when I just can't seem to knock anybody out and this is what seemed to be happening. I could've had Shae out 3 times, Chivers folded but I could've had him, Terri had the best hand going in, but not by much and out of 5 all-ins I didn't get 1 winning hand... Sometimes poker is just poker! With 7 players left, blinds at 500-1000, Chivers raised to 2500 under the gun, Heck folded and Craig shoved all-in for 2700, I folded small blind. This is one of those interesting spots, if Jon calls, Chivers can't raise because Craig's all-in isn't a complete raise. betting opens if Jon raises, however...Jon only calls the 2700, 1700 more than his blind. Chivers put in the extra 200. I can't remember the flop, but I think Jon bet, Chivers shoved and Jon called. K-9 for Jon ends up being the best hand, Craig had AJ and I think Chivers had KJ, maybe the board was K-high I don't know...but Jon KO'd 2 players in one amazing crappy hand and had a huge stack top 5.
I had to play "survivor" shoving in situational spots because my hands were just not there and my stack was dwindled down... I looked down at 9-4hearts, I was the button with a little over 5K left, Jon is the small blind to my left, Terri next to him as the BB. I had already won a few all-in preflop shoves with no callers and since Jon was stacking his chips, I figured he'd probably fold a really large amount of hands since he was worried about stacking chips and Terri folds a really large range of hands no matter what so when it folded to me I shoved. Jon folded with a hint of thought, but went back to counting/stacking his chips and Terri looked down and looked like she got sick, but blurted, "Alright, I'll call..." in her best impression of Eeyore. I asked her, "Do you have a 9", hoping I'm at least live... I think she thought I asked her that because I had 8s or something and after flipping over pocket 7s kind of irritably, she perked up when she saw it was only 9-high... The board ran pretty dry, not even a heart in sight to give me any kind of hope and I was out 5th...So no "all cash season" for me this year... I will say that I usually suck out on Terri and that's probably the only times I've KOd her so I definately owed her a few double-ups over the years. The only good things that came out of this last game: Dejo was KOd prior to the final table when he was coolered Ks vs K-8suited AIPF, Chris is in great shape to double up, however, Heck used his "ONE TIME" for the season and turned a flush. This was good for me in that I would be able to rack up KO count distance on him, however, as I stated, 5 all-ins and not one win for me, then I couldn't win my own all-in...
Fred Vs Dejo KO Bet Count:
Fred: 7
Dejo: 2
About the time I was KOd, others were starting to play a new game Sean brought called Cards Against Humanity(I had previously played this game with my family over Christmas/New Years and had a blast) and we had a ton of fun with this amazing and horrible game. I think they call it a "Great Game for Horrible People". Aint that the truth. It's like "Apples to Apples" in that a card is read by a player and cards supplied by the other players are compared against that card to answer/complete a sentance and that player picks the best card, giving points to whomever's card is picked...(not my best explanation...):
For example: "The U.S. postal service spent 3 million dollars last year promoting _______"
All of the other players have 5-10 cards that they use to fill in the blank. Each player turns in the card they pick to be their best to fill in the blank and the original reader reads them aloud to much hysteria and picks their favorite/best. The person who's card was picked as the best gets a point. The significant difference/specialty of this game is that it's extremely, ugh...dirty, to say the least...
Turns to be the reader move in a clockwork fashion and we just played until nobody had any cards left. Up until the last round I was leading with 7 points, Dejo had 6 and he won the last card, which for some reason was deemed worth 2 points and so he won. Nobody cares about winning, though, as the game is just too much fun to play and hear all the ridiculousness.
Some were even saying we should play that instead of poker next time, while I don't think that's happening, I know we'll definately be playing both games again next time...
