I finished my first day at the WSOP with 67,125. I think the average is like 40-50K, so I can’t complain. But I was up over 100K with 30 minutes to go and got myself in a really bad spot. I raised K4s to 1100 UTG (tight table, end of the day, especially tight BB) and got called by the CO, who called me fairly often and had nearly 50K in chips.
Flop was Kc 4c 5s, I bet 2000, he called. Turn 2s, I bet 6000, he raised to 24,000 with about 12,000 behind. I had a bad feeling, but 55/44, a total of four combinations, was about the only thing I could plausibly put him on that beat me. I tried talking to him, and he seemed kind of confident but I didnt’ feel like he wanted a call either. Eventually I stuck the rest in, and he called so reluctantly that I thought I was good. But he did have 55, and I did not hit my two outer. The more I think about it, the more I think this was a fold.
Oh well, still in good shape. I play again Wednesday. Need to sleep now, but I’ll post more later.
Such a cooler.
GL on day 2!
That’s a fold on Day 3; not Day 1. Good work, Shorty
What do you think about checking the turn?
Good thing you didn’t make any four king jokes, because they are really bad.
Good luck on day 2 mate.
Way too many draws on the turn and worse hands that can pay me off. If I checked the turn, it would be for the purpose of check-raising.
Good Luck!!
