My first Tourney - Trop $225 NL - an interesting hand
We are about slightly more than halfway thru the Trop NL $225 tourney. I have a good stack of exactly 19,900 chips after starting with 5k. Many players are solid, some calling stations, some obvious deer-in-headlights. [about 65-75 players left. Maybe less started with 160 no rebuys.]
I am at Table 1 Seat 2, so all the extra players are getting moved to my table so it's constantly full of new players. Blinds are now 1k/2k, antes are probably 200.I am in BB with 4d, 3d. Might have to play this one. UTG raises to 4k. MP calls. SB folds.
Okay, for $2k I'm in. No-brainer, right? [comments, pls]Flop comes 5d, 3c, 2d.
Fireworks start going off in my head. I figure there's no way I'm not ahead in Equity at this point, if not outright.I check. [yes/no/depends on?]UTG raises 10k! MP can't fold fast enough. UTG hadn't been on my left for that long, but no way he min-raised with 22 or 55 is my edumacated guess.
I check UTG's stack and it looks bigger than mine, but I can't tell with all the pretty colors.I re-raise all in after 5 seconds thought. The table is understandably surprised. [good, bad, Ugly?] I wouldn't mind a fold here, either.UTG is directly next to me, I can feel his eyes on me, but I never look away from the flop.
After 45 seconds, he calls, which surprises me, because now I am certain he is behind. I mean dead-solid certain.He calls, flips Kd Jd. Wow, what a call. I guess he was getting odds. Do you make this call?Turn is Qs. No help there.River is a Diamond. The lovely, lovely Ace of Diamonds.
ClueBoy jumps up for a second and yells, before he realizes. Dealers says 'Straight Flush...' and the entire crowd ooohed and aaahed. It was damn funny. Then he says, you have me outchipped, and I'm all like, No way, dude.Turns out he had 19,980.
I win. HGHN.After that I hit my high of 61k in chips before getting nothing but 96o and 74o for two hours. I finally bust out with two tables and 2xBB with AKo against 42s.
