Carbon Poker $1K NLHE 6-Max (T3,000)
I hadn’t played on Carbon for a while since it wasn’t particularly easy to get money on there any more, but they sent me a $5.50 tournament coupon to entice me back in at the beginning of their latest tournament series. Since I wasn’t out at Wildhorse for the Poker Round-Up this weekend (and because I was supposed to be finishing up a project tonight instead of out playing poker), I gave it a whirl. It didn’t go so well.
Hand 1 [4s ah] UTG1 20/40 T3,000
I’d come in during the previous hand, when the player now UTG made two two with [ax kx] against [kx kx] and lost most of his stack. He shoved 360 in the pot and I folded; his [tx 9h] was beat by [ks js] making top pair, and he was out. No ace.
Hand 2 [jc 2d] BB 20/40 T3,000
Three limpers pre-flop, a raise from SB on [td 8c 4d] and I fold.
Hand 3 [kc jd] SB 20/40 T2,960
UTG limps in, I raise to 120, The flop is [ks 5d ah], I bet 150 and get a call, [8s] turn gets checked, I check [9s] on the river and fold to a bet of 540.
Hand 4 [td kc] BTN 20/40 T2,690

UTG limps, I raise to 80, then HJ re-raises to 480 and everyone folds.
Hand 7 [ac ad] UTG 20/40 T2,610
Getting those goosebumps like you’re about to win the big one, yeah? I raise to 120, BB calls, the flop is [6c jd 5h], I get another 120 out of him, then he check-folds to a 300 bet on [9c] on the turn.
Hand 8 [9h 4h] BB 20/40 T2,870
Fold to a pre-flop raise.
Hand 9 [5s 3c] SB 20/40 T2,830

Hand 10 [kc ts] BTN 20/40 T2,810
I call a UTG raise to 120, catch my king on the [3h ks 3d] flop, we both check a [5h] turn and I check call 780 after the [jd] flop to lose to [as kh].
Hand 11 [5d kh] CO 30/60 T1,785

Hand 12 [2s 7c] UTG1 30/60 T1,785
From best to worst in six hands. Fold.

Hand 15 [as 4s] SB 30/60 T1,725
The biggest stack at the table in UTG1 limps and I raise to 180. BB folds and UTG1 calls. The flop is [2s 9s 4c], I bet 200 and get called. [qs] on the turn makes my flush, I bet 500 and get a call. The river is [6h,] I put my remaining 845 in and he folds.
Hand 16 [2c 8c] BTN 30/60 T2,665
Fold.
Hand 17 [ad 4d] CO 30/60 T2,665
It worked well once. UTG min-raises and I misclick to just raise another 60 to 180. BB and UTG call. The flop is [9s jd 8d], BB bets 570, UTG folds, and I call with 1,915 behind. [2h] on the turn and UTG shoves with enough to put me all-in twice. I call with my draw and hit it with the one diamond I don’t want to see: [9d]. His full house with [jh 9h] knocks me out.
