This evening I played on AP. It went really well. I played 4 rebuy tourneys. I final tabled 2 of them and finished in 12 in another. The 4th I was knocked out a couple spots before the bubble. All for a decent return on my money.
In the first rebuy, I was just astonished in the way the cards were falling for me. My hands would be strung together. I would have 5 to 8 winning hands in a row then nothing for an hour. Which isn't all that strange. It was just the strength of the hands I was hitting that was strange. In the same game on one table I flopped a royal, hit quads 3 times, and had 2 straight flushes. This was over a span of 2 hours. It was just one of those sickening games, leaving you wondering when the bottom was going to fall out of it. I ended up in 2nd on this one. The bottom waited till we were down to 4 players to fall out.
The second and third didn't go as smooth. Both of those I actually had to play cards. I especially please with my 7th finish in the 3rd game. Nearing the bubble I was in dead last holding 5 big blinds. Due to a couple forced calls from the big blind as soon as the bubble passed I was actually back in the game. About 30 to 45 minutes after the bubble I had a key hand that was the turning point for the game for me. I was back down to 11 times the big blind. I was dealt 65 of clubs in the big blind. The very nice gentleman in UTG+1 limped with aces then it became a family pot. The flop came 345 (rainbow). After checking it, the fellow with aces 2x bet the flop, everyone called. The turn came a second 5. I shoved and ended up with 3 callers. the river was 6 (saving my neck from the fellow with 26 of hearts. After that hand I had enough chips to start fighting back and taking down blinds repeatedly.
On a side note, the fellow with aces later said he misread his hand at a glance. He was under the impression that he had A4 until it was too late.
