My summary for Flight 1A and 1B... (very similar storyline in both flights
)
At 1st break, we chipped up 20-25% nicely... playing strong
At 2nd break, card dead or bad beats...
At 3rd break, best round of the tournament, we manage to go up to ~100k.
At 4th break, mostly card dead and few more bad beats, but we manage to keep our stack at 100k.
Round 13, another good round and we went up to 160k+.
Round 14, we continue to steal few pots and manage the inflation... but came down to 20-25bb.
Round 15 and 16... completely card dead, try to enter the pot with some hands and a failed bluff too, but ended up folding, couldn't steal enough pots and down to <10bb.
Finally shoved with AK and 6-7bb, but poker gods didn't bless... busted around mid-way in Level 16... in flight 1A 26 places before money, in flight 1B ~150 something places before money.
Thanks CardsChat for the opportunity, it was so nice to meet the team, and a great fun experience, and I was super excited... hoping to better the run next year.
There were several interesting hands where we played good or bad, I do plan to post on my twitter later in the week... thinking of hashtag #DidWePlayItFine... Everyone is invited to follow me on twitter at
@Akhil__Bansal, and comment on how the same hands can be played differently, will love to hear your opinions.
