First off I would like to congratulate TPE Member xxsosickxx who finished 2nd in MiniFTOPS Event # 32. We were all railing and cheering him on from the last few hundred players down to the final table. It was an amazing run and we are all very proud of him.
The shoutouts to Tournament Poker Edge on the final table were awesome and the banter between da_professional and xxsosickxx was very entertaining!! LOL
The chat room had upwards of 40 members yesterday with Killingbird handing out stakes left, right and center. I was staked for a $5.50 $20k guar on Pokerstars. Made it to the top 400 and this interesting hand developed.
Blinds 1000/2000 and utg limps with a 70k stack, it folds around to the hj or co and he shoves for 3 big blinds and i'm sitting in the bb with 66. The utg limper did the same thing an orbit ago and when I bet out he folded, with top pair (10 high board). Knowing that his utg limp range was pretty wide and that he did not have a monster here I decided to try and pick up the dead money in the pot and isolate the 3 bb shove with what I assumed to be the best hand vs his shove range. I shove for 30k and the utg thinks and thinks and calls with 44! 75k pot and the flop…x4x…..yawn..standard…sorry Killingbird 🙁
I did manage to win my MiniFTOPS seat via a low buy-in satellite, which was worth $75 but after losing on stars I had no desire to play so I took the T$ and gave up for the night.
That's all for now
