FTOPS Event #1

I'm extremely fired up for the FTOPS V. I have a bet with TheMasterJ33, PiMaster, and GambleGambel on our performance, with the winner receiving a FTOPS main event seat and 10% of the other players' action in that main event. For the first event, I decided to focus on just the one tournament and write down every hand I played.

We started with 3000 chips.

10-20
show up 8 mins late after swimming and then a mini wireless fiasco
first hand I am in BB, MP R to 60 I RR to 234 with 83o in BB and show when he folds
R button to 56 with K7s steal blinds
R cutoff to 56 with K6s BB calls Q96 check/check turn T he pots I fold
Very next hand call Panamatony R with 96dd another call BB calls board of AA6KQ is checked all the way down 88 wins.

15-30
Panamatony R to 90 call CO with 76ss flop A52 I get disconnected and have to fold to a cont bet which I would have anyways
Next hand Panamatony R to 90 I RR to 277 with KK folds
Limp 77 2nd pos some limps button R to 180 I decide to call others fold flop 653 I think a long time and check he checks turn 6 I think again and check
he checks river 4 I bet 2/3 pot he folds.
Panamatony limps SB R to 99 with A8s in BB he calls flop J93 ck ck turn 7 he bets hard I fold. Maybe a bad line here.
R SB to 99 with A9o BB folds
Limp 87o on button behind UTG and one other limp flop AT5 someone bets and gets called I fold

20-40
R QhQ to 111 MP button calls. Flop K32 two hearts I check he bets pot I call. Turn Jh C C. River low heart I C he cks 43s.
Next hand R AK all folds I show.
Next hand R K9s EP button calls flop Axx I bet he folds
Next hand fold 65s UTG
R K4s on button folds
Panamatony R to 120 HJ I RR to 366 CO with QJo he calls. Flop A64 he cks I bet 439 he tanks forever, into the time bank, then calls, which looks either weak or gigantic. Turn Q he C I pot bet to put him allin he folds quick. 4679.

25-50
77 in BB a buncha limpers I C flop A85 C fold.
Fold A6o MP
BB 53s MP limp button limps I C. Flop A64 I take a stab of 100 button calls. Turn Q I decide to CR allin (he is somewhat short) he cks river K I give up and C he wins with 43o.
4504

30-60
Fold J9o UTG going quiet here.
R 82o on button to 166 blinds are supertight. BB minraises me. I am getting a terrific price obv but can't afford to show this one down and it's such a rag I fold.
GetPWN3D joins the table to my right and immediately wins a big race to over 5k.
2nd pos limps fold A9o MP
PWN3D R UTG guy calls flop A92 he bets 60% pot guy calls turn K he bets 60% pot gets raised small and shoves, guy calls with 99, PWN3D has KQo!
4248 at the break

40-80
Table playing tight/straightforward
Fold J7s 2nd pos
Fold K6o in BB to a 3x rz from the SB
Fold ATo to a UTG min rz and a call
Fold A7o 3rd pos
Fold 96s 2nd pos
Fold T7o in BB to PWN3D's CO R
R T9o on button BB makes a small RR I make a weak fold
3797

50-100
Fold 98o MP just not that much to win right now
R AQs to 266 in 2nd pos BB who is a donk min RR me I call flop 652 he bets 400 with 1k behind I have seen some pros make a shove here but I fold.
The donk raises an extreme nit UTG limper min and I fold T2o in the BB, the UTG nit reraises small of course.
Fold K3s CO, easing into tight mode here.
3215

60-120
R to 289 UTG with AJo MP repops me this has been a rough day.
Complete SB with 96o BB C flop QT9 bet 156 he folds
R button to 277 with T8o they let me take this one
Next hand fold 97o CO
R to 288 EP with AQ the supernit RR me this is really getting annoying I fold. Warrants mentioning I haven't once defended to a reraise.
Fold T8s UTG
Fold Q6o in BB to SB R
2638

80-160
Fold JTo CO in gear 1 now with ~17 BBs and no antes
Button limps I complete SB with A6s BB C flop JJ3 I fire half pot both fold
2798

100-200
Guy shoves for 470 total I fold Q3o in SB.
Moved to new table, sickeningly UTG after just going through the blinds. Lose them again and down to 2200
Dodge a huge bullet here with KQo on the button, some guy limps, then there's a shove and a call from the CO, then limper calls, it's KK vs 55 vs AA for the CO, I shove if CO limps or even if it's limped to me
Fold JTo MP not time to make a stand yet with 11 BBs and no ante
Fold A5s next hand
Fold 33 UTG next hand
SB shoves me in for my 2200 in the BB I instacall with 88 he has a frustrating J9o and even more frustrating flops a jack.

The next one I play will probably be tomorrow's $200 pot limit hold em event.

I choose events 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12. If for some reason I don't end up doing the omaha hi/lo, then I will do the stud instead.

I am changing my events to 3, 5, 6, 9 ($300 rebuy), 10 (stud), and 12 ($2,500). I ended up winning a seat to the stud, so I might as well play it instead of the omaha.

I change my mind again. Now I choose events 3, 5, 6, 7 ($1,000 short handed), 9 ($300 rebuy), and 12 ($2,500). I will still be playing the stud, but I'm not going to use it as one of the six that count.
