Well here we go another day another freeroll....

Signed up just in time,  close to 2k runners this time (around 1800 actually). Again a lot of people sitting out at my table. 2 guys are sitting in, they seem to want to steal the blinds every hand so I'll let them while the blinds are low and build a tight image

Repopped it with AQ from the SB and he folded :)

Took down a decent with AJ vs 45. Stack now 2680.

Lost a pot .. thought he was bluffing and I had an open ended straight draw .. back to 2k.

Down to 1200 now ... I am not playing tight enough I guess, but there are only 3 others at the table not sitting out, can't really keep folding.

Ok, I'm out. This was not even enjoyable ! I only played a few hands but they called me every time and they raised my blinds every hand, I shove on him and he shows up with AQ ! He was playing every hand, where does he get AQ from ?

Sigh ...another chance tomorrow I guess.

Pot limit omaha time tonight.

Plenty of people at my table are sitting out, but 1 guy is calling everything... Very hard to play against. Will have to hit something. Had 2 nice hands but the flop was nasty both times.

I raise AKQQ and the flop came T22, I bet in position he called.I figured he probably had a 2 and when he bombed the turn I just folded... he showed a total rag hand with a 2 in it..

The next hand I had a flushdraw and called a few small bets .. this has already brought my stack down to 1120 :( Not looking good. (Someone PLEASE hit my boomswitch !!)

Ok, he is finally folding to some bets and I split 1 pot withhim ... and finally got a boat and worked my stack back up to 2739 !

Lost a small pot when I made the nut straight on a paired board .. Check called the river and down to 2379 now.

Yess... flopped a boat and got it all in against aces. Up to 5k now.

The very next hand I flop a Q high flush and get it all in against another guy with aces ! Up to 8673 now... Niiiice. I'm in position 31 of 1179 now.

I get AA89 double suited and repop it HUGE.. he still calls and calls a full pot bet on the flop withjust top pair. He turns a flush draw and hits it on the river. Back to 4k now. This guy is tilting me pretty bad now.

I filled up on the river to make my boat, 9700 now. 50/967.

Guy put me on full blown monkey tilt now. He's calling 3 bets pre flop with total garbage and just hitting miracles. I'm back down to 3500 ... break now. Breathe in .... breathe out !

Ok busted against the same guy obviously. My KKxx against his JJxx, he hits the J and im out. What pisses me off to no extent is this was one of those eastern european freeroll leeches that seem to have infected all the online freerolls. I'm pretty sure he has no poker related blog since he has played 5 online tournaments for 5c buyin each. Nice to see the WBCOOP is also infected with these leeches.

I will be reporting live during my (hopefully long) run in the WBCOOP tonight in this post. Instead of doing a series of posts, I will just update this post with my stacksize, position in the field and maybe if I have time, some key hands. It's a freeroll, but I'm not expecting very crazy play, last year people seemed to be taking it pretty seriously.... The first tournament is No Limit Holdem and is starting in 2 hours from now. Right now there are about 1500 players signed up ... stay tuned folks !

Start of round 1 :

Some players at my table are sitting out. Will be nice to steal their blinds later on :)

2 people have already moved in pre flop for 100 bb, so seems like a weak table

Played 1 hand with K9o, flopped a K and called a bet, turn check check, called river bet and he turned a straight. Small pot though, lost 100 chips.

Lost a pot for most of my stack with KQo, against AK ... Opponent flatted the raise pre, then called a flop bet with a gutshot and bombed the turn and river which I called coz the line was so weird :)

Shoved 20bb with AKs, got knocked out by AT .. Better luck tomorrow.
