Hi there! Just wanted to report back on my first ever MTT experience, TL;DR - give it a go, it is really good fun. If you want to know what Genting was like, scroll ALLLLLL The way down ;)
Last week I asked for recommendations on where to play my first live MTT in Sheffield (UK). I discovered there are a lot of options around and decided to step in at the low end. Genting have a
Friday £15+5/£10 Reload, at that price level I felt comfortable getting used to a Live Poker session, I have played live with friends and family before, but never at any decent level, plenty of hands online though.
I hadn't realised that From Dusk til Dawn in nearby Nottingham had a tournament on, so the field was (according to some regulars) light. Which suited me fine :)
Starting stack of 10,000 in front of me for the early bird registration and around 25 others that signed up at a similar time. Overall the field grew to around 35 I believe before level 4 ended which is a nice enough number. I started off pretty well, getting a few small pots and getting a feel for the pace of play and, more importantly, the table-manners, fortunately it was all pretty straight forward, but I didn't feel like I was getting to read the players around me, a TAG on my left and right, a few very chatty regulars to my further right, analysing all their hands between them at every opportunity.
I then got a hand I always struggle with
KhTs,
I was in cut-off and decided to open 4bb, button called, sb folded, bb called. flop came on
10h5s8s, I liked the top pair, I liked the longshot for a flush. Bet 7bb, got called by button, bb out. This is where I remembered too late that this was the first time my neighbour had even played a hand other than an AK earlier... All of a sudden I realised he probably had a big pair and that was when the
Js came on the turn. I knock, he bets 12bb... I realised I am in the cage! Tough spot, I only had 18bbs left. I made the hero-call and got rewarded with
2h... crap!I checked, expecting him to shove to get my last few chips only to see him check, I still don't understand why he played it like that. Anyway, AA showed and that was that. With hindsight I either should have followed on the earlier aggression and bet on the turn because the flush would have worried him, or I should have remembered he was tighter than a ball made of elastic
Anyway I needed a rebuy, it brought me back to just under 25 bbs (around 17K chips from memory. I decided there and then that I needed to pay more attention to the others and less on how to toss chips around. Especially with the table's biggest stack now to my left. A couple of rounds later and I was looking at under 13 bbs and several others had rebought as well. I was now the small stack and had endured a whole host of rubbish hands. Then right after the break my first hand was Ah/Kh, my right hand neighbour had been moved so my direct right was now one of the two chatty men. The first one opened 6bb UTG, the next folded. By know I knew that the opener had been playing pretty loose and put in a lot of C-bets that didn't really make sense, he had also happily discussed this strategy with his neighbour thinking we were all deaf.
I call, others fold. Flop comes K/J/4 rainbow, he bets 10 bb, I shove, I doubled up. Back to 25 bbs and relieved. Now we had 7 on the table for a while. My fourth hand this level was a KK and the new short stack was two to my left on the button. I raise to 4bb, fold, long stare and shove. J/J, gained another 10 bbs and beginning to feel better.
I was finally getting hands and slowly increased my stack to the big stack on the table, satisfyingly punishing my very tight (my estimation of TAG had long dropped to nit by now) neighbour. I then managed to get his last chips by hitting a set on my 7/7 against his Q/Q and not letting him check all the way again.
Then the floor manager began looking at what was going on and he informed me I was the biggest stack heading into the break by about 15bb. Well chuffed! At this point there were only 12 players left so the final table loomed.
But during the break I realised it was midnight and felt that I hadn't eaten enough, in fact, I'd had some olives and cucumber with houmous at 5PM and that was it. The break was only ten minutes so no time to eat, quick ciggie and back in. This also meant, unfortunately, that I was beginning to doze off a bit. I hadn't expected to come this far and I misplayed three or four hands, they weren't expensive, but it cost me around 20bbs and on the other table a guy had a huge double-up. On my table one player really stood out with a very nice loose aggressive style and strong reads. He was definitely the guy I was most weary of.
Final table - 5 get paid, top 400£, 5th £80, I decided I'd be delighted getting in the money but, during the break I also thought about my approach. I didn't know who would be where on the table, so decided to check things for a round and then, if I felt others were getting passive due to the bubble try and make some aggressive plays.
Anyway, the guy I 'feared' was was three to my right. My left neighbour from the table before was back to my left and on my right were two players from the other table, with the short stack two to my right.
I heard him say he was shove and pray just before taking our seats and decided I'd flip the coin if he did and I held something reasonable. My reasonable, only on the second hand we played was a Jc/10c so his shove for 12 bbs was a relative straightforward call, but what about the others? Do I shove?
I decided to call, the biggest stack across the table calls as well... Hmmm. Flop comes 8c/9s/Ad It's on me and I decide to put in another 12bbs. He folds, original shove had Kd/4c river is Qd I'm home safe in style.
Then the guy I was worried about roared and took 15bbs off of me in an aggressive re-raise, my flop-matched Q didn't look great with a weak side-card so I folded. Then four hands later I decide to check/call, this time I flop-matched a 10 and had a gutshot straight if a J fell. He raised 8, I called, turn shows K, I decide to use it as a bluff and raised 14 on the turn, he thinks long and hard and calls. River was rubbish and goes check/check. He shows 10/K against my 10/Q. And so my stack is now looking pretty darned average, I had around 20bbs left.
Then my final hand was right before the bubble, I decided beforehand that if my aggressor to the right didn't call I would play hard on the 10s/Qs and pray it would work. Then the TAG on my left called my 5BB raise and went over to 12. Call or shove? I made the wrong decision and called. Flop showed 10/J/Q rainbow. I went through my options, I put him on AA or maybe KK. If he is on A/K than fair enough. I shove, he has J/J and it is GG, I left the tournament in 7th, two short from the money.
But, I really enjoyed it and I will
definitely play again.
On Genting Sheffield - nice-looking and modern venue, set up to arrive for dinner and a chat, typical casino stuff on the floor but the poker-room is on a raised platform tucked away so you don't feel like you are in the middle of the slots and roulette madness. I did find it difficult to hear things, I have tinnitus from years of hardcore house, metal and punk abuse and find it hard to pick up individual noises when there is a lot of static around. Service was reasonable, drinks are free and they come round regularly but for some reason remembering who ordered what is very difficult (they wouldn't cut it in my nephew's bar that is for sure!). The dealers were a mixed bag and I wasn't overly impressed by them. I am sure I've lost several ante's to confusion for example. Having said that: I will go again, it was a nice group of players and the experience of live play is wonderful.
