Had a swingy day in the 40k. My starting table had vanessa russo, john juanda, thorladen, noah schwartz, ivan demidov and johnny chan. I didnt play many hands for the first couple levels then at 500/1k I accidentally raise to 2k with 9s (meant to make it 2500) juanda makes it 6800 and I call. The flop comes 910q with a fd I check he bets 10k I make it 35k he shoves for about 50k more I call he has aa and I just about double up to 220k.
But after that I never really got much going. I ran a big bluff on russo and lost 100k when it completely failed then lost a few more pots and got down to about 50k. After that though I went on a nice run and got up to 250k then back down to 160 and finally ending at 205.
I played kind of meh overall I lost about 50 pots to russo in some of them I made a couple mistakes and in others she just outflopped me like crazy. Then later in the day sorel mizzi got moved to the table and he played really well and sort of ran over the table. I had position on him and should have put up more resistance unfortunately I was card dead against him but even so there were some spots I should have been more aggressive. Against everybody else at the table I thought I played pretty well I was never all in the entire day and mainly won a bunch of medium sized pots without showdown. So was overall a meh day in terms of how well I played and pretty happy to have ended up with 205k
So blinds are going to be 2500/5k and I feel pretty good after getting some rest so just going to try and play the best I possibly can and hopefully run well.
