M3boys poker exploits

As you will soon see, this comp is one of my regular comps.
It is a 2 day event with a somewhat strange buy in.
Firstly it is £200 entry for 10k chips. You then have 2 further options of £100 and £50 for 10k chips each which you can take at anytime(during the first two levels).
Basically it is a £350 freezeout with 30k chips - thats how I play it anyway.

The clock is a slow one at 45 min levels and most levels included. You do however start at 50 100 - but with 30k chips it really isnt a problem! lol

I have final tabled 3 times in this comp so far (been running about a year i think) and usually gets between 60-100 runners.

So, onto this weeks comp. Slightly low turnout but with Vegas it was to be expected. It only just made the guarantee giving £7k for 1st.

My day one started off slow ending with 30250 at the first break. The rest of the day was somewhat slow and I ended up with 58k at end of day one with 22 left. Absolutely no hands and basically was stealing my way along.

Day 2 started and after the table redraw I had the chipleader two to my left - not a good move but I had played with him all day yesterday and had a good feel for his game - he was ultra aggressive and liked to “just over min raise” your bets on any street. Anyway, I started quite well restealing from the chip leader in a couple of pots and was soon on 130k. Blinds at this stage were 1000 2000 with a 200ante so plenty of play.
We were down to 13 or so quite quickly but then the short stacks started to double up and we did not hit final table until 4 levels later! This unfortunately made the final somewhat of a crapshoot. Av stack had something like 12 BB’s.
I picked up a few hands early on and climbed to 200k.
With the comp now running crapshooty (unusual for this comp tbh) I found that my recent month of playing turbo SnG’s on Stars a real help - I was taking advantage of Stars kind offer to UK players where they basically gave away Supernova status! - I missed it by 2 hours of play but thats another story!
So, down to 5 and it was shove poker. Then we are 4. I am shoving once a round to stay in with a shout and my final hand was As5s and with 175k (blinds now 15k 30k) I get a call from 55. The flop was very kind of Qh 2s 3s. So now I am favorite here with 15 outs twice but I fail to hit and finish 4th for £2k.
Not a bad weekends work and another final table but only picking up £2k from the £16.5k for top 4 was a little disapointing.
I do not think I am playing next weekend, but the weekend after is the £300 2 dayer at DTD - another one of my regular comps………………….
