Hand selection and patience will get you to the money I’m telling you …. the more I play the more it seems to bear out that this is true. I have not updated my blog in quite a while due to being away in Ibiza. Lucky me I found out that there was a series of $100 sit and go’s happening at the local casino out there while I was in town.
My spanish is poor but the guys at the table were very considerate and one guy translated most of the banter I couldnt understand – at least I think he did haha!
Anyway a little patience early on went a long way as in a race to be in the top 3 slots ( the money) people were dropping like flies on their AJ’s!
I played conservatively until I flopped a hand with more outs than a 1 legged cricketer! I had to play it to the finish and I hit big brunson style with a guy who had hit trips early on and me with my flush on the river – nice.
I didn’t rush it then though opting for the same measured approach until my next big hand and so on all the while kamikaze’s left the table until there was 3. I should have got it to heads up but a bad beat saw me out – better to go like that though and no regrets on my play.
I’ll be sure to head back next time I’m in town and in the meantime i’ll be working on my spanish!
