FTOPS Event #3 $200 PL Holdem

I consider PLH one of my stronger events b/c the nuances of it fit well with my style (ie tighter pre, post flop play more). I think I played real well, but you be the judge of that. My bustout hand I definitely could have played in many ways (including folding pre in most cases). I numbered all the hands so you can tell how active I have been. However, I will only note ones I played or made questionable folds pre.

End of 2nd Hour 5775 in chips, Avg 7359, I'm in 374 of 682. I think I have maximized my chip count in most hands, while making a few moves here and there.

120/240, 5775 in chips

150/300, 5055 in chips

from hand 122 until 153 i got - Q5,94s,94s,62,53,J5s,A2,74,Q4c,J8,75,J9,62,73,J9,54c,82h,T9,
84c,86,T3,J5,Q2,94,J8s,J5,T3,92,KQ(UTG??),K7,T3&53d
154) CO AQ, I R to 750 bought, 5055
159) UTG AK I R to 750, 2nd calls
AQT, ch ch
2 ch, B 1000, I R allin for 4305, fold, 7255 (1st hand I won in since 106 and I increased
my stack by 10) - this is why you can afford to be patient in PL. With that in mind I
bring you the bustout
161) SB 94h, I had already written fold down, but it folded @ & I decided to limp, BB ch
K53, 2 hearts (we each start w/ @6600), I B 400, he R to 1K, I RR to 3K, he tanks and
goes allin, I call getting 3 to 1, he has K7
8, K Im out - I thought his R to 1K looked like a feeler & he would fold to a RR. I also
mentally commited myself to the pot when I RR.

I would definitely like opinoins on some of the hands I played especially the last one. I feel like I made alot of well timed moves, and solid plays w/ my good hands. I did not get a pair above JJ, and I got AK twice. I only flopped 1 monster (the KJ boat & completely maximized it). I had 1 other big pot w/ the 54c allin on the flush draw versus straight draw (where I was probably only a small dog).

Moon and Mandy both had deep runs. Moon took two ugly beats to get knocked out, and played a fantastic tourney. I plan on playing both the PLO 500 and NLH 100 w/RBs tomorrow in the FTOPS.
