My wsop main event

My table looked pretty solid. There was a couple of average players at the table but the rest of them were real solid. The only person i recognized was chip jett 2 to my right. I decided to play tight since my table was playing solid and not make a big bluff in early levels. I was gonna try and see alot of flop early on though. Here are the most notable hands

50/100
utg raises to 300 i call on button with 78s both blinds call. flop comes T-8-8 (2 clubs). utg bets 750 i flat call blinds fold. turn comes 9 of clubs he checks i bet 1200 he calls my read was that he had overpair with club here. river was 6d he checks i bet 1800 he folds. i really regret not raising this on the flop but i think he gets away from his overpair here on turn anyways.

i raise in MP to 300 with TsTc guy behind me calls SB reraises to 1350 i call i can tell this guy has a monster. flop comes q-9-6 all diamonds he checks i check turn comes the jack of clubs he checks i think about betting here but i thought he would call, it looks he has two black kings or aces. turn comes a blank he checks i check he shows two black aces. i end this level at 21.5k

100/200
i look down at AhQh in the bb after two players limped i raise to 1200 and only the first limper calls. flop comes 3-7-7r i bet 1400 he calls turn comes a 9 i bet 2600 he calls river comes a jack and it goes check-check he shows 44. i gave this guy credit for making a good call after i saw him call a riverbet with jack high in a raised blind vs blind battle. But at the same time he goes out by playing a gigantic 80k pot in the 2nd level with AK on a board of A-8-6 against a set of 66 when he should obviously have folded. i end this level with 16.5k

200/400
A HUGE INTERESTING HAND!
i raise to 1100 with AsQc in the hijack the cutoff calls after a 20 sec think. flop comes 8-3-4 (2 hearts) i bet 1600 he calls. turn comes another 8 he bets 2500 i really thought he was on flush draw so i call.river comes a total blank the deuce of spades. i check he instantly bets 5k i remember looking at him when he showed down a good hand and his body language looked different this time. his pulse on his neckwas beating like crazy i was expecting to see KhQh or AhJh. So i make the call with Ace high queen kicker! he doesnt want to turn over his hand so im high-fiving myself in my head then he reluctantly turns over AhKh i show my AQ and he celebrates his great value bet. Never underestimate the physical read.

there was 2 limpers in front of me sb completes i look down at AK in the bb i shove allin for 6450 total.i really didnt think i was gonna get called but i wanted it to look like i was on tilt and get a call from a hand like AT/AJ. The lp limper ended up thinking for 2 mintues and calls with 77 with 5k behind after calling, i win the race.

i raise to 1200 with 88 in EP chip jett calls in bb. flop comes 5-9-6r. he checks i bet 1800 he check raises to 4200 i really thought he had a big hand here i dont think he would have folded if i went allin. i head to dinner break with 8.7k

200/400 ante 50
they all fold to the sb he limps i check j3 in bb. flop comes j-t-3 he bets 1050 i raise to 3k he putsme allin i call he shows QT my hand holds

i raise to 1200 with AcKs in MP the button calls. flop comes 6-9-3 (2 spades) i bet 1800 he calls i put him on a medium pair. turn comes another 3 i bet 4k he thinks for 30 seconds and calls. river is a 8 flush misses i have 9,300 left and decide to jam in. i had a tight image and i thought he would have to give me respect if i tripel barreled but of course he calls with 77. i dont give him any respect for making this call. he was one of the 3 average players at the table. i always bluff the wrong guy, something i really need to work on.



I will try to post my other wsop prelim tournies later.
