12+1 USD NLHE - 180 entrants

After my cash session I decided to play one of those 20-tables-sit-n-go turbo tournaments.

It is starting and I will try to write here at same time.

Level 1 - 10/20 blinds. Starting chips 1500. 18 players in the money. First place - 594 USD

Button position with QTs - I called 70 chips. Flop was Q86.  And I got 620 chips pot with pair of Queens.

Next hand I got AK suited (hearts). I made re-raise to 250 but flop was very risky - all diamonds. A player went all in and I folded.

Seems this tournament I will have a lot of job KQo - but no help from board plus very agressive player and my stack dropped to 1,590 chips.

Blinds increased to 15/30. KTs  came, I raised 120, one player called, but zdedix went all in and I had to fold.

6 hands were dealt and I saw the flop in 3 of them. It is very unusual for my style of playing.

One player min raised and I called with T9o from big blind. The flop J87 made my straight. I checked. fietsert bet 30, Petar_01 raised to 120, zdedix called him. I re-raised to 550, Petar_01 went all-in with J6. After this hand my stack build up to 2,775 chips.

Blinds increased to 25/50. My position is 20 of 151 players.

I didn't have chance for action from button and cut-off position - 54o and 83o was not the best cards to do something.
This level of  blinds finished with no action from my side.

Blinds increased to 50/100.  My stack is still 2,775 chips, still over the average stack. 137 players are still in the tournament.

53o and 83o from button and cut-off position - the situation is same as in the previous round. My stack is 2,625 chips.

Blinds increased to 75/150. My stack is 2,625 chips, 117 players are still in.
My first hand of this level was on big blind and I got T5o.  I was happy to see that small blind only called, but the flop 988 was not my favorite one.

With T8s I called from small blind. Flop KT4 and I bet 300. Noone called and my stack is back to 2,775 chips.

Blinds increased to 100/200. My stack is 2,775 chips, 97 players are still in.

T9s from the big blind position. UTG limped. Player from middle position invested almost half his stack to raise 600. I called. UTG called too. Flop AJ4 - only Jack is from my color (spades). The middle player went all in with QQ and I folded. Stack dropped to 2,075.

A8o from the small blind position. One player raised to 650 and I went all in. He folded and my stack is 3,025 after this move.

Blinds increased to 125/250/ante 25. 79 players are still in.

I raised with K5o 1000 chips from cut-off position - all folded and the stack is 3,550.

72s from big blind position. A player raised and I had to fold.

Pocket 77 on the button. Noone called blinds and I bet 1000. Small blind re-raised and we went all in. Flop 973 and I doubled up to 6,550 chips.

Blinds increased to 150/300/ante 25.  61 players are still in.

99 on big blind position. vudus min raised and one player called. I reraised to 2,100. All called. Flop was T96. I bet 2,500. vudus shown A5 and I got the hand - my stack is 9,384 chips now.

KJo from the small blind position. I raised 1,200 and the big blind player folded. With 9,834 chips I am 4th from 50 players left.

Blinds increased to 200/400/ante 50.  49 players are still in.

Small blind position came with pocket KK. OS1972 minraised from UTG+1.  Spraggs re-raised from cut-off and I went all in. Unfortunately Spraggs called and shown AA. My stack dropped to 5,799 chips.

Blinds increased to 300/600/ante 50.  41 players are still in.

A7 from UTG+1. I decided to went all-in. FulboatAAAKK called me and shown AK (what a joke with his ID). K on flop and my dreams in this tournament finished on 35th position.
