no luck for us in the satellite we're
gonna run great in this 10k mein
tomorrow instead
come on $1,200 if you make it up
day one of the $10,000 LAPC poker
classic 40,000 chips to start 60-minute
levels were starting at 100 100 no aunty
going to 100 200
no aunty so you know we're gonna be
playing tight is right getting value
flush over flush set over set we're
gonna be on the right end of some
coolers and of course a break every two
hours
with blinds ads 100 100 were under the
gun 5 hand did I make it 300 with King
Queen of Hearts action folds to cut off
Adam Hendricks who puts in the call and
we're heads up to a flop the flop comes
King King six two spades one Club we've
got 300 and he calls the turn it's an
off suit 7 a brick put him on a lot of
flush draw combos maybe some small pairs
few ace highs so we're gonna bet for
value again we make it 800 chips and he
puts in the call could you have a worse
King could he still have a mid pair or a
flush draw let's see what happens on the
river the river is the ace of clubs so
now we want to make it look like we
still have a weak hand we might have
been barreling with an ace and we want
to bet small make it look like a blocker
bet to induce a raise from his missed
flush draws that's the plan so I bet 600
very small bet he's gonna want to rep a
king with all his missed flush draws and
even value raised his worst Kings there
are a few so after I bet 600 he makes it
3800 there could be some small merit in
turning our king into a bluff but I
think that's a little bit too optimistic
because we do have the range advantage
when it comes to all the ace king combos
and pocket aces just in case he has
pocket sixes or pocket sevens but I
think that's a little too little too
optimistic so we're just gonna put in
the easy call catches Bluffs and his
mistaken value raises with all of his
worst Kings we call in he shows pocket
sevens for a turn boat and we lose 5,000
chips but Glines adds 100 100
Adam Hendricks raises to 300 under the
gun gets three callers we're in the
small blind with East King of Spades so
think we got to narrow the field or take
it down preflop we make it 2,000 to go
Hendricks folds the button blake bone
calls and small blind calls
they're probably set mining the flop
comes ace jack
seven rainbow I think it's a great time
to bet for value so I bet 2,200
and they both quickly fold to take down
a nice pot my first break with 40,000
about the starting stack tables not very
soft but that's okay we're gonna figure
out their game plan and counter their
intentions that's the secret of Poker
they throw rock we throw paper how do
you not play by oh yeah you follow
another two levels down and we now have
42,000 chips hanging in there playing
solid preflop ranges no crazy cold for
bets no triple barrels ABC poker will
get us through day one
I went a few small pots to go up to
50,000 chips with blinds at 300 500 run
to the gun plus wonton with pocket kings
I make it 1,200 action folds to Adam
Hendricks in middle position who puts in
the call everybody else folds the flop
comes 10 6 4 2 clubs we do have the king
of clubs usually I'll bet here but as a
little bit of deception and pot control
he can still have you know a pocket for
his pocket sixes sixes were not being
too paranoid but I'm gonna try to be a
little bit balanced here and going to
check Hall mode I check and he bets
large 2,400 so we're gonna stick with
the plan and put in the call we do have
the king of clubs which blocks some of
his flush draw combos so it's a little
less lately he has a flush draw he's
gonna be value betting all of his 10 X's
that he flatted pree and of course his
sets pocket fours pocket sixes and some
mid pairs when the turn brings the 10 of
spades there's now two flush draws and
the 10 is paired so we check again he
thinks about it and bets out 5500 so now
he's repping a 10 some chance he'll
barrel with his flush draws but it
really looks like we don't have a 10
because we didn't bet the flop but the
plan is still to call I put in the call
and the river is the 3 of diamonds 5 7
gets there but that's not very likely
he'll probably just fold that preflop I
check with the same amount of speed as
the flop and turned and he counts out a
bunch of ships and bets 24,000 he has
5000 behind a very polarizing bet when
he bet over the pot and barrel on this
run out what hands are busy betting for
value all of his 10x combos pocket sixes
and pocket fours what hands is he
bluffing with he'd be bluffing with 8 7
suited that's double belly-buster but he
might not always barrel the turn when
the 10 hits pretty tough spot the plan
was to call down but these large
polarizing bets on the river and live
tournaments usually meanie has it the
quandary is we've under upped our hand a
lot we have one of the
hands we can have that we take this line
we could have checked called the turn
with a sex of clubs or a sex of speeds
in the end I put in the fold and he
takes down a nice pot we now have 40,000
chips on the last break the night two
more hours to play let's stay focused
with blinds at 300 600 600 action folds
the button whose art P high-stakes cash
player WPT two-time champ makes it 1,400
I'm the small blind with King nine of
diamonds I put in the call and the big
blind calls flop comes King King five
two hearts normally I'd check this but I
want to make it look like I'm I have a
five and I'm betting to see where I'm at
or I have a flush draw
most people would check a king so we're
gonna play out a flow and unbalance in
bet 2500 art myself both started this
hand with around 25k big blindfolds and
art puts in the call arts gonna have a
lot of ace highs mid pairs flush draws
in the spot only one King left the turn
is a 5 so now we have a boat we're
hoping he has a 5 but if we check will
be bet a 5 if we bet will you fold as
flush draw I think we want to make it
look like we're giving up and check and
he quickly checks behind the rivers a 9
giving us a bigger boat always a good
thing now we got to think about how
we're gonna play our hand vs. is flop
calling a turn checking range there's
only one king left there is one combo of
pocket fives the question is if he does
have the remaining King Willie calling
all in yeah probably
since all a king nine if eclis beats him
what can I be bluffing with here
if I was to Bluff I don't think I'd risk
all my chips so I was about 15,000 a big
over bet but it should be a good one in
accomplishing a few hero calls from ace
high
he's very thinking players so who knows
what he's gonna think in this spot but
what he does do is he quickly calls he
doesn't shove we show our boat Kings
full of nines and he is very very upset
so I'm guessing he had a king he mucks
his cards and says I hate tournaments
this is why I don't play these things
which shocks me considering his great
success at tournaments how can one be so
bitter towards a format that's given you
a millions of dollars I know he doesn't
play many of them so don't be ungrateful
buddy
he ran hot he played good but don't
curse or bite the hand that fed you and
we now have 40,000 chips with blinds at
400 800 action folds to the cutoff a
Brazilian who just lost a 70k pot at the
hand before incorrectly value betting
nines on the river and he opened limps I
figure if he's tilted he's gonna be
raising definitely any of his premium so
he's limping just trying to get in there
he's got a weak hand I'm on the button
with Queen 10 of clubs raised it up to
3,000 the big blind has about 5,000 so
we're definitely to call that all-in and
we got the button we got a good hand
both the blinds fold though and the
cutoff Brazilian puts in the call flop
comes King 10 3-1 club he checks and
we're gonna check to try to get him to
blow off some turns and rivers the turn
is a 7 complete rainbow aboard and he
bets 5500 everything is going to plan 10
with the Queen should be good here so we
put in the call the river comes probably
the worst card in the deck and that's
the jack eight nine gets there Queen 9
gets there a lot of 2 pair combos jack
10 King Jack he thinks about it and bets
16,000 we were gonna catch some Bluffs
but what hands would he stabbed with on
the turn that he'd continue with on the
river that don't have us beat not many
semi Bluffs available using this line
probably has to Broadway type cards like
Jack 10 King Jack Queen 9 suited and
refold we do not catch his punt and then
he immediately says I should have bad
less indicating he had a value hand he
wanted to get paid
let's focus with blinds at four eight
Anthony's panella hold please raises
under the gun plus one to sixteen
hundred I'm in middle position with two
red jacks
normally it's a pretty auto three bet
but there's still a short stack with
about 5k - to my left maybe I can induce
the squeeze or we can just play our hand
pretty deceptive so I just put in the
call guy and my left puts in the call
and the big blind calls for ways to a
flop the flop comes ten nine three all
diamonds a great flop for our jacks
action checks to us and I bet 3,500 for
value guy on my left calls and the big
blind calls really putting the big line
on something like ace of diamonds acts
Anthony folds for three ways to a turn
in the turn is an ace of hearts not the
best card if someone does in fact have
ace X of diamonds which is very likely
but when it checks to us I want to
target all of their 10x and 1 diamond
type hand so I bet real small just 4,000
button does fold and the big blind calls
okay you can still have a lot of 10x a
lot of one diamond type hands some a sex
of diamonds also when the river brings
the ace of clubs I'm like in my hand
until the seemingly Caucasian male 50
year old amateur bets out 18,000 betting
out of flow
he just went runner runner ace to make
him trips I'm guessing he doesn't want
me to check back he's not scared of me
flopping the flush
what Bluffs can he have I don't think
he's turning a 10 into a bluff I don't
think he's turned the King of Diamonds
into a bluff and we reluctantly fold our
pocket jacks and lose yet another pot
hey I've had enough doubled Jameson's I
just start on that after all the beers
and I've bagged we need a bag bags on
six back just over 22,000 chips long day
I have a headache a lot of thinking a
lot of focus needed it will come back
stronger tomorrow with our 22 blinds
find some good spots and play fearless
no regrets didn't really get out of line
at all today
could have made some big hero calls but
erred on the side of caution and we're
coming back for Day two
it's a marathon
