Canterbury Park Fall Classic Event #12, $500+50 Limit
Quick update It's been a little while since I have written, and for that I apologize. I am on dinner break right now from the $500 +50 Limit Hold'em championship. Before I get into a discussion about tonight, let me catch you up on the happenings of this week.Sunday we all drove up to Mille Lacs for the $1500+200 (sick juice!) Heartland Poker Tour event. I was super excited for this event, but then I got jacked in several ways. We started with 15k in chips, blinds of 100-200. Here's how the structure went. 1-2, 2-4, 3-6, 4-8/1, 5-10/200, 1000-2000/300! What the? 500-1000 to 1000-2000? SICK! But, everybody had to deal with the same thing, and I know how to handle this, and the field was full of terrible players.
Going ino the 5-10 level I had 36k in chips and was feeling good. I was controlling my table and picking up about 40% of the pots and keeping them small. Then, the worst beat came when I got moved by the floorperson to balance a table. Bad beat. I was moved just to the left of Mike Carlson who was completely owning the table and I was placed right in his path. There wasn't a dang thing I could do, I ended up giving him all my chips and he went on to win the thing.
Monday and Tuesday were pretty uneventful as far as the tournaments went. I never had a chance and went bust quickly in both. I did play a bunch in the live games Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and won about $3400. Quote of the day goes to this guy who saw my buddy Dave's cards at showdown and said after a long pause, "What's that?" Dave had 8 high with the 8 3 after banging the whole way. That same guy won the award for biggest donk play too when he posted behind the button and said he's getting all of his $300 in the pot blind. So, I look down at 72o, raise, he 3 bets blind, I call and we see the flop heads up. JJ7. We go all 7 bets to get him all in. He had KQo. 72 good. I love it.
So, I'm going to go win this tournament. I will tell you all about it later!
Peace and good luck,
Devo
