   2nd Tourney of the VPT, AKA: Addison Steamroll

   Intro

   Here we are another post of the league after the 1st two tournaments a little bit disappointed about the turnouts so far. I figured with the new rule changes, we would get better turnouts granted there are 10 more to go but still, a little surprised. Thank you to Justin for hosting on Saturday nice table and a nice place to play in. The early going was dull I was just watching Addison taking down pots with mainly inferior hands.

   Mini Rush

   After being card dead I hit a set with and checked the flop and turn and managed to get a call on my bet on the river which was my purpose on the hand. The next hand I pick up I flopped top pair and a flush draw and checked intending to check raise. I turned the flush which was pretty much unbeatable, at this point so there is no harm in checking to give a free card. There is pretty much next to nothing that hurts you. It ended up working I managed to get a 400-chip call on the river.

   Stretch Run

   I was getting card dead and just sitting back and watching Addison eliminate the table. Until, him and I was playing heads up. I was about a 5-1 chip disadvantage and getting frustrated. Whatever move I tried to make it just backfired, I stole only two pots and when I would raise pre flop and bet on the flop. I would get re raised all in, I felt handcuffed finally I called his all in with half of what I started with going into the heads up match. With he had Ace high and took it down.

   Food for Thought

   I was glad to get 2nd place made a small profit only because there was 6 players. I did well in the cash game and the bankroll is just under 1,200. Now I am just waiting for that time to get my poker fix in at the casino. I am just so tired of the same thing at La Center but to lazy to drive about 2 hours to Spirit Mountain. I am kinda stuck, I don"t like the online scene so I really am just kinda waiting on how I want to increase the roll faster. Please give feedback play well and may all your pots be monster.

   • I was just looking at your comment, Ethan, and I realized my Omaha captcha is AA63. Not bad for high low...

   • Well, 2nd is better than no money - good work. At least you can play patiently. It's too bad you aren't getting a higher attendance for your games. Perhaps you need to make some phone calls in addition to the email invites?

     I don't know what to suggest for you to build your roll up. Probably just keep doing what's been working. Maybe try to branch out and find some more local games you could join.
