Early exit but everything irie!!

Well St Kitts is fantastic, I managed to bring a faulty plug adaptor and blew up the baby monitor and the laptop but hey… in the Caribbean nothing gets you down. Even a day 1 exit from the main event didn’t dampen the spirits too much. It was a bit of a strange day to be honest. The table I drew was really really tough and I could not hit a flop for about 4hours, AK 4 times and missed everytime and QQ once with an AK flop. Still plenty of play left with 15k starting chips and only 155 runners in a 4 day event and even though the chip stack got down to about 6k I managed to dig in once again and get back up to about 20k by level 6 playing a little on the deserved tight passive image I’d done so well to foster for the 1st 4 hours.

20K was just a touch below ave when I was moved to table one. My 1st impressions were that it was a bit softer (then I spotted a WSOP bracelet on the wrist to the guy to my right! ) won a few then I managed to donk off a few chip with an ill timed move and needed to get busy when I picked up AsAc 1st to act and put my standard raise in. Two callers and I’m liking the 4d 4s 9d flop. Check – Check and last to act bets 3500 into a 6k pot. I tank in my last 11k and he calls with the nut flush draw…. Two diamonds later and its back to the pool for me in about 95th! Again not to worried about the play, get it in favorite and win and I’m sitting OK for day two where anything can happen… just not to be.

The hotel is great, the food is good and WH upgraded us to a suite so it makes life much easier with Jack having a bit of space. I’m about 1k up from the (wild) side action after getting paid in full with quad 8s buy TT!?!?! Me and the Mrs just going to chill for the rest of the week and maybe play a few STTs and a little cash…. Best to take it easy when the rum punch is flowing ;)

Cheers,
