Dinner break
I’ve done pretty well this level, worked my way up to just over 600k chips. The average is around 450 I believe. I’m going into dinner with a healthy stack and a healthy mind. There were a couple big hands— first I was in the big blind and the small blind raised to 25k, I called with 86 offsuit. The 457 flop hit me in the face and he bet 30k first. I just called. The turn was a 2, he checked and I bet 50k, he called. River was an ace and he checked again, I bet 140k hoping he would think I was bluffing and would have to call. He must have thought for 5 minutes and came so so close to calling but ended up throwing it away. That would have been a nice addition to my stack. The other big had was when I raised AJ to 27k preflop and got called by the big blind. The flop was J54 all clubs. I bet 45k and the guy check raised me to 105k. I thought for a while and ended up shoving all in for 350k more and he ended up folding after a long think. So I’m cruising at 600k but this tournament certainly isn’t getting any easier. All the pots are big and we are about to get into the money. There are 170 left and they pay 146 and higher. Looks like I won’t be making it to work tomorrow…
