First light 6bet of my life :)
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
I played several live tournaments in Austria, the Spring Festival and the EPT Snowfest. I discovered two important leaks in my game which will hopefully help me to improve in the future.
I think I played the best game on the EPT €2000 side-event where I made the first light 6-bet of my life 
)) Although it sounds risky and very wild on the 2nd level of a tournament, I actually played with that opponent 8 hours the previous day so I knew his game and I knew what I was doing. He was the kind of guy who just keeps 3-betting very light, in and out of position all the time. It was obvious that when somebody first played back at him with a 4-bet, he has to defend his 3-bet by 5-betting light. So I thought one level further and 6-bet him with my pocket 3s and he folded As it turns out I still had the best hand (from what he said afterward and I believe him) which I had thought I probably did.
Anyway, I lost a 150BB pot not long after this against the same guy when he went all-in with his flush draw against my QT on the QJ9 flop and he hit his flush.
KK vs AA pre-flop confrontations also keep hunting me. After I had KK vs AA 3 times on the EPT in Deauville I was very unhappy that on the Main Event here it happened again. That crippled me enough to get knocked out not long after.
I met some good players though and some famous ones as well . On my €1000 side-event, I was sat right next to Boris Becker after a table change. I arrived to the table, said hello, Boris greeted me and as I sat down he said “Hello, I’m Boris!” “Hello, I’m Viktoria, nice to meet you” 
Then I told him that when he was a big tennis player, I was a sports reporter in Hungary and commentated the Olympics and stuff. He said that was his previous life, so I told him so was mine! We had fun, he is a nice guy, and he sat behind me – you always want to make friends with the guy sitting behind you but not in front of you
Next is WPT Bucharest, I am flying tomorrow, I hope I can finally show some nice results!
