While the title might be a bit of an oxymoron playing the 10+1s at Party, this one was a bit more fun and memorable than most.
Started off good, second hand in managed to drain half a guys stack with A-6 suited on a A-2-3-9-6 flop... he had A-5. No real betting until the river where I took him down. About 15 hands later took down two small stacks with A-K on a 3-5-K-10-Q flop. Then the real fun began. One guy who was short stacked goes allin on a rag flop 2-3-7. I'm sitting with A-Q and figured he could well be calling with nothing to steal the pot so I take him allin for 600 leaving me with about 1000 or so. Turn J, river 9, he turns over a 2... grrr... One of the tighter players pipes in "interesting call"... was one of those calls I knew I shouldn't make but had a feeling about... which was wrong.
So we go on and I tighten up. Another hand comes up, blinds at around 100-200, I have 1100 on the BB, dealt KK. UTG goes all-in 400, everyone folds to the button who calls. I raise 400 to take the button allin thinking I'm set. Flop comes 10-8-J-3-7. UTG flips 10s, button flips As... yikes!
So now we're down to 4 and I'm short stacked. Staying out of the action until I'm BB, 10-6s, two call to me so I check. Flop comes 10-K-9 with K-9 my suit. I check, then call a raise. Turn comes Q to complete my flush. I all-in, one folds, other calls (the guy who made the interesting call crack). River comes nothing and he flips K-rag and doubles me up... so of course I say "interesting call"... he responds "jack A". I laugh...
I end up finishing second after he knocks himself out of the money and I wait out the third place. Was a wild time, I flipped from high stack to the low stack about three times... good fun but definately not my most solid play.
