I'm not asking to get lucky, I don't need luck only to avoid other people getting it. I played the £25 fo at DTD last night and at approaching 1am through a field of 150+ runners we were down to the last two tables. I had a reasonable 40k portion of the 474k chips in play and the blinds were 1k/2k with a running ante of 200. I was in the sb and the button moves allin for just under 8k and I look down to see 99 and its a no brainer really, however his JT is a monster when the J hits the flop 1st card. Next time round the utg, who hasn't played a hand since I sat down, moves allin for 16k and the rest of the table folds to me. At this point I still have 31k and look down to see TT, decide he has AK or AQ and its another race for half my stack this time, but I will still have 16k if I lose which is still playable. So I call and when he flips over K4 suited I'm in even better shape than I thought until the dealer puts a king on the flop - ffs!
The blinds go up to 1500/3000 with a running ante of 300 which means there is 7200 a round to steal, but with everyone moving in before me and every time my 1st card is a 3 I'm soon down to a pittance of 9k with three of it in the bb. The K4 guy moves in from early and it's folded to me and when I look at my cards it's 34 off, but so what I'm 6/4 I reckon and cant pass. Luckily I spike a 3 against his AT and he looks aggrieved - how quickly they forget. After telling him he owed me that one I steal the next one with an allin move pre when its folded to me and pick up the 7.2k uncontested and now have just over 20k. This gets blinded back to 12.5k and when its folded to me pre and I have KQ its a no brainer for me to shove. The blinds wake up with AK and JJ and even after picking up some hope on the turn when with 4 hearts on board I have the heart draw and can still hit a Q; but of course I miss!!!
Out 15th for money back plus a tenner.
I never put a foot wrong and played well with confidence and feel that should the best hand ever stand up in a pot when I've put all my money in with it, then I may win a tournament at DTD.
