We had quite a few new runners in the MTT on Monday night although the overall turnout was still fairly low - I think this is because the league itself appeals to quite a specific intersection of players. It makes most sense to those who are very active on the gutshot forum and who (of course) actually play on gutshot.com.
So it was 22 players this time - 54 unique players so far in the 4 weeks.
I came 3rd. I held the chip-lead on the final table after picking up a timely KK on the big-blind vs TT for the button player. I was in decent shape all the way to the 3-handed stage when I stopped raising and played more passively. This was a mistake.
It was especially damaging in the hand I went out on. I only limped with A2 on the small blind, and the BB checked. Flop K99 with 2 diamonds. I led out and was called. The turn was a 7 so I thought I'd better make any flush or straight draw pay, so I made another significant bet, which was called.
When the river was another 7, I reckoned my Ace could be good so I moved all in and was insta-called by 97 ! Oops.
Obviously I am still leading the YTD league. My objective will be to lead the league from start to finish. Because the new scoring system favours regular players, I think there is a good chance of this, in fact.
