First Forray On Paradise

So I started of my quest with my £50, in a 5 euro 10 man STT.

It was late at nite, I couldnt be bothered to play cash, so I plumped for this.

It was a normal structure with 8 minute blinds starting with 1,500 and the normal structure of 15/30, 25/50, 50/100 and so on. 3 places paid 25,15 and 10.


First rotation pretty slow for me, but lodsa big hands running into each other, including Top set against a flopped high straight on the first hand.

So down to 8 players early on, which I don't mind.

Still getting rubish cards and blinds 50/100 now, im on 1325.

Then folded AQ in the small blind to 700 bet from the cut off, who had me covered. Hoping thats not the best chance I get.

Try to take advantage of my previous tight play by stealing a few blinds, but both times I am re-raised by limpers and I am now very short. (950 blinds 100 /200)

I then get kings utg get all in against A J on On a Q 10 7 board The king gives me a set and him a straight on the turn but I fill up with queen on the river so happy days.

I then double up again with AK and upto 3500 now.

Card dead again for ages and impossible to get any bluffs through,

5 handed now and I have 2,500 although its about average and the blinds are 300/600, Until 2 go quickly so im the money.

Three handed arrived with plenty of chips in play and my 3 handed game has been poor of late although I handled this quite well. Went on for ages before the blinds got too high and knocked the 3rd placed player with AJ against JJ, first card an Ace.

I was monster chip leader heads up and won it in about 8 hands.

Nice to start with a win.

25 Euro's for first place but I am keeping the tally £'s so

Starting Balance = £50

Current Balance = £67.90
