Anyone traveling to Atlantic City this week for the "Almighty Million" tournament? (1 Viewer)

[Senzrock]

I'm headed out tomorrow (Tuesday) and staying through the week if anyone is around and planning on playing the Almighty Million at the Borgata. Should be a fun tournament. 100k starting stacks, good structure, four-day tournament!

Looks like fun! Good luck to whoever participates.

Never seen T100s as 43mm!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen 43s that worn!

Keep running it up!!!!

We ran it up to 800k and made the money but they eventually got us when the blinds got up to 25k/50k! Cashed for $1642 but we had our eyes on the prize…

Look at all that hooker juice!

One of my good buddies made it to day 2 today. He said the blinds were too high too fast and he ended up shoving on an open end flush draw and got called and never got there.
He had J 10 and button raised 3x to 60k. BB defended. Flop Q9X. BB checks he cbet 120k. Turn was a low card blank he shoved for 200k and got called by Q7.
I hated his play here but he’s aggressive. I hate the Q7 play even worse.
Ugh

Congrats on your run!

I guess I’d feel better about that if he’d just jammed it all on the flop. Probably would have ended the same way. But I think with that stack, if he’s putting anything in on that draw at all, he’s gotta do it all at once.

This bet sizing is WILD lol. Don’t mind being aggressive but he could have bet so much less

That’s what I told him. He likes to win pots by being overly aggressive and putting people to the test. I don’t like his style of play in a multi day tournament.
He won’t listen to me. Oh well

Agree. The worst line is “well 40% of my stack was in the middle”. Ok but he called pre and on flop. Time to check back and get a free card and live to see another flop.
