Played the 5k main event in Caesars Indiana today. Here are the key hands...[10k chips to start]
50/100 blinds - 10.5k chips
After establishing a pretty solid image, it folds to me in the hijack and I raise to 250 with 62 of spades. The big blind makes it 800 and I see a flop in position heads up. He thinks for ten seconds and checks a Qd 9h 7d. I bet 1025 and he folds. I facial.
50/100 blinds - 11k chips
EP limp, MP makes it 300, sb calls, I calls bb with TT, EP folds (standard). A sexy Td 2c 4s flop and I check raise 600 to 1600 and pre flop raiser calls. A suspicious ace turns and I check call a 1k bet. Jack on the river and I lead for 2k he calls and mucks. Think I got max value here.
100/200 - 16k
UTG limp, I limp button with A2 spades, sb limp, bb check. 963 two spades flop. BB bets out for 500 of remaining 1400. Folds to me and I put him in for his last 900. He has 92o. Turn and river brick me.
100/200 - 15k
UTG raises to 600, I call with 55 in third position, next guy calls, and LP makes it 1600 total (obvious big pair here), UTG folds. Now a tricky decisions. He has 7700 behind and there is 3700 in the pot and it is 1k more to me to call with one person left to act with a 5k stack (unlikely to shove). I decide to take a flop - 5k stack folds. 9s 5c 2s. I check jam after he bets 2400 and he quickly calls with JJ. Turn rag, River Jack. Crippling blow in a big pot.
100/200. - 4450
EP makes it 700 and I go for the "tilty jam" within 10 hands of the suck out with AK on the button. EP calls with little thought with AQ diamonds. 8c 2d 9c flop. Td turn, River jack. I hate my job.
