The coffee is a-flowin’ as I studiously digest my M=5 jamming charts.
It can mean only one thing: I have scraped my way to day two of the GUKPT Champion of Champions tournament with a short stack!
25 players remain from the field of 153. The prize pool is a cool £150,000, although with 2% of all the chips in play I am an underdog to get close to the £44k first prize. Stranger things have happened though, and I’m one double-up away from being in contention to cash...
I ran alright for the first few hours of the tourney, steadily building to four times my starting stack, but went mostly card dead in the last few levels, blinded down somewhat, before resuscitating my stack by winning a flip with A-Qo versus a shorter stack’s pocket Tens.
15 spots are paid, prizes starting at £2,250. I’m not afraid of risking the bubble in any +EV situation and may be able to exploit my nitty table image. I am far enough from the money, and short-stacked enough, that ICM has little bearing on my jamming ranges, so I will be pushing aggressively to chip up.
I got a few light shoves through towards the end, clawing back a few chips, so I head into day two with about 30k at the 1,200/2,400 level with 300 antes. Fingers crossed for today.
