Day 0, Canterbury Park Fall Poker Classic
Satellite and 30-60--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This morning I went into work with Kelly and Nicky, two of my good friends from Minnesota and with whom I am staying for this trip. Got into work at 11 (so early...) and left at 7. It was kinda nice to feel normal once again.
There was no 30 game going so I played in a $65 satellite. $500 in buy-ins and $50 cash to the winnner and we made an 8 way last longer bet for $20. I came out super-aggressive, was able to pick up a few pots early and cruised from there. At one point I busted two players in one hand. As the second player was leaving he said, "Look. You bust both asian player in one hand. Now this game fuck up." Instant quote of the day. He was asian. Other was too. All us white guys remaining couldn't help it and cracked up, he smiled and left. 3 handed I chopped the last longer pool with the other remaining guy $70 to him and $90 to me, which I am happy with since he was behind me and he could react to me. He then went busted four hands later (damnit), and I was heads up with a young player named Kyle. He had me 3-2 on chips. We took a $200 save and decided to play for the remaining $150. I don't know how I feel about taking a save in this spot. The blinds were 50-100, soon to be 100-200, with only 3k chips in play. But, I had a good read on him and felt that I was the better player. How much equity do I give up due to the fast structure? If any of y'all have any insight on that I'd be happy to hear it. Please comment below.
From there I started a 30 game and was basically stuck in the mud. I was up $600, down $600 and everywhere in between. I finished up $242. Nice net for 8 hours of $597.
I'm going to be spending a lot of time out these two weeks hanging with people that I haven't seen in a while, and I'm stoked on that. I just might wear myself out pretty quickly though!
Tomorrow is the $300+40 Limit event #1. It's interesting that their opening event is a limit event... wasn't like that last year.
Oh yeah. It was 34 degrees this morning. I hate the weather here.
Peace and good luck,
