Hello,
Thank you everyone who has shown support in one way or another, I am really appreciative and hopefully I will be able to complete this challenge.
So, I went for the LWPS ( Leisure World Poker Series) tournament on the Leisure World cruise yesterday. I went there twice before, and the worst part is the ferry trip to the cruise. The moment I stepped into the ferry and it started rocking, I feel giddy already. It was a torturous 1 hr ride to the main cruise itself.
Onboard, I rolled $500 to get $35 cashback, not bad considering the ferry ride costs $43, so effectively I spent $8. However, those $500 chips you have to gamble it at the tables. AND, I really hate gambling (weird to hear this coming from me right hahah). But, baraccat or blackjack is gambling. For example the house has a edge of 1+% in baraccat. So if I sit there wagering $1000 every hour for 5 hours, I'll be expected to lose about $50. THIS, is gambling.
Yup, so I registered into flight 1a, and got assigned to seat table 7, seat 3a ( they pantang dont wanna put 4, so it's 3a instead hahahaha).
The first few levels went pretty well for me. I was able to chip up nicely with a few raise preflop and cbet. Sitting to my right is an Ang Moh, so I engaged in a little chat with him. He's a private banker, from Switzerland. Then he started talking about how many years he have been playing poker (10+), and how many tournaments he've won. Recently he said he just won the poker tournament played in the Singapore Flyer. AMDK, so I just said " Oh ok". I didn't really care though hahahahah.
So during the 3rd level, I had AK suited under the gun +1. The AMDK open shoved about 19bb, and i made the call. He turned over 44, and i rivered the ace to have a nice stack of about 15k ( we started with 10k).
So after the break, people got more aggressive. There were more 3bets preflop and shoving. I was chipping up nicely and had about 17k stack. So this particular hand, I had QJ suited on the button. Some middle aged uncle raise 2.5x. I called and the big blind called. Flop was QT6. Uncle made a cbet and I called, big blind folds. Turn was a 3, and the uncle shoved his stack of about 22bb into me. I went into the tank, and made the call because he did it before with AQ on a low board.
Yup, so this was the board when he shoved, and the Ace must peel on river. And Wuffle became a sad puppy. However I was not tilting, just gotta accept it and fight on. At this point of time, I was a little short stacked (7k) which is about 20BB ( short but ok stack).

A few hands later, my AK ran into QQ. No A or K on the board and thus, I was busted and this concludes my LWPS tournament. Hahahah, oh well! If only I won the first pot I think I would have a nice stack, and hopefully can final table.
I booked the next ferry out, because any minute more on the cruise makes me tilt. The smoke + the rockiness just make me feel very uncomfortable. And oh yea if you're wondering about my $500 casino chips, I had some random poker friends who just wanted to play the casino so they cashed me out ^^ always good to be nice to people, So while waiting for the ferry, I was watching Game of Thrones on my google nexus. Halfway into the show, suddenly got sex scene the guy was pumping the girl from behind. In my head i was thinking " siao liao so many uncles and aunties beside me". But aiya heck I am not even watching porn why should i be scared. But the sex scene was quite long hahahah and then I felt a tab on my shoulder. I took off my earphones and the uncle said " eh boy ah, this kinda thing not good. You very sick in the mind ah." I told him " Hey it's game of thrones, US drama serial". Then i realised they dunno what the fuck it was. So I just gave up, and he was giving me a lecture behind me.
hahahaha, yup! Today is Sunday, which means it will be a full night of grinding. Hopefully I'll make some good deep runs, and post some interesting hands here!
On a side note, my favourite rabbit passed away. His name is Rambo. :( RIP Rambo.
