Slump Over - Two Final Tables and Tournament Domination
So my month or two long slump came to an end this week as I made two final tables and the last one completely dominated the entire tournament. I played a super tight game and waiting for opportunities to strike. I got at a table with a few donks showing down hands like J-6, K-4 etc… so I waited for my moments to trap them. Here’s some notable hands, my hand is the first one listed.
2-2 vs. A-K & A-K (2 small stack all-ins) - Board: Q-J-4-8-9
Q-Q vs. J-6 (post flop) - Board: 2-4-J-7-8
J-J vs. ??? - Board: A-A-10-J-K (Had a donk trapped but he folded to my min. re-raise on the river)
A-K vs. A-Q - Board: 2-A-10-J-8
J-10s vs. K-Q vs. A-K - Board: 8-5-10-2-3 (final table all-in push)
A-5s vs. Q-J vs. J-J - Board: 10-9-7-A-5
Final hand: J-J vs. K-K - Board: doesn’t matter Kings held up and I went out in 5th…
Most of these wins were in huge pots and I stayed around 50-100x BB the entire tournament starting at the second blind session. It got to the point where I had the whole table dominated and when I got a big hand I just put the whole table all-in to put their tournament lives at risk if they wanted to go against me. Ended up luring people in and crushing them when they thought I was just BSing around.
Feels awesome to dominate after a horrid slump…
