One And Done

Or at least,  one is done...  I survived round one.

So I don't think anyone at this table is the superstar I found online under the same name...  except seat one.

From the opening hand,  he played them all...  always raising.  He knocked out seat two on the first hand...  with four six suited that flushed on the river.  Oh,  and he plays anything - J8 off,  A5 off,  4 6 suited,  and those were just the ones I saw.  After picking up twenty to start,  he dropped a ton to...

The new seat two,  who evidently feels it is his responsibility to call or raise every move seat one makes.  He crushed seat one calling a huge bluff and now has enough chips to assert his presence with authority.  It's a rare hand that I'm not facing at least one raise.

I did have A10 off and had both blinds call.  I hit an ace on the flop and neither called my bet so I won a mini pot.

That was the first hour...

A half hour later,  seat one raised my big blind...  about the only thing surprising about that was that seat two didn't three bet...  so I did with AQ off and took his raise and my antes preflop.

That was about it until fifteen minutes left in the round and a flurry of activity.

I had 9 10 suited in the big blind and everyone called or checked so I limped in.  Flop came three unders with two hearts so I bet and won.

Then I had A6 on the button and raised...  a position raise.  I got two callers from the blinds,  but they folded to a continuation bet after the flop.

Then on the very last hand,  big slick. I raised and got three bet with a caller,  so I called and missed the flop.  We all checked it and I missed the turn that first to act bet big and I folded.  The three bet guy said he had big slick too...  no wonder i couldn't hit it.

Anyway,  32,000 at the break,  which gives me just under twenty times around the table with 300/600/75 blinds.

Going to need some of those pocket pairs,  sets,  and boats from early yesterday...
