WPT Bucharest – through to day 2
Posted by Viktoria | Filed under Live Tournaments
We only played 6 levels on the first day – I loved it because long days make me more and more tired being 6 months pregnant.
Anyway, we started with 15k in chips and I have 42k after the first day. Appr. 90 players are left out of 160. I had a good table, I knew some players with whom I played before. I had Sorel Mizzi at my table, I respect his play very much, but his style is very different from mine. He is a good player though. When I play with someone I respect, I usually try to learn something from him even if I wouldn’t ever be able to play his style. I believe that there are things to learn from good players and you can always pick something up.
I felt that I played well and even when my move didn’t work out the way I planned, the board helped me out
So I was in the wrong spot at the right time
))
I felt I could play correctly against anyone at the table – I made the right calls and the right lay-downs as well (I folded an overpair on a 6 high flop to Mizzi when he had Aces – it is not easy to do that given his image).
I was also lucky to get some hands when I really needed them – exactly at the times when the table started to question that I always had a hand (so I showed them that I did
)).
I think tomorrow we will play down to 24 players. It will probably be one of the most important days (except the final table) of the tournament. If I can play well and get a nice stack, anything can happen! I feel like I deserve it finally
