So yesterday i decided to try the new Gala schedule, the £15 triple chance with a £2k guarantee and dealer dealt starting at 5pm seamed like an ideal Sunday tournament.
I had a fairly soft table, but did include the rock that is Mama G. I started off pretty well after being down to 2775 at the 25/50 level I found A 10o on the button, i raised to 275 with the intention of getting an extra 5k if i lost the hand. 5 callers to the flop of A 10 8 all hearts, blinds check to a guy in mid position who bets out 1k, next man folds and i ship it in for 2.5k, SB then tanks and ends up calling with AK no heart, turn was an 8 and river an harmless 5 and I'm up to 7.4k.
50/100 level and I'm dealt Jh 10h in the BB in a limped pot so i just check my option, the flop comes down K 9 8 2 hearts so i fire out a bet of 400 which takes it down without a caller.
Last hand of the buy in period and I'm dealt KK in mid position, i raise it to 375 and all fold.
With less than 40 runners and a guarantee 0f £2000 there was a nice overlay of £800.
100/200 level and i receive Kc Jc on the button and i just flat call as its Mama G's BB. Flop comes down X Xc Xc SB checks, Mama G bets 200, i flat call as does the SB. Turn brings a J and both blinds check so i fire out a 600 bet which i s called by the SB only. The river is a blank and the SB checks so i just check behind happy to take down the pot with a pair of J's. SB missed a double gut buster and im on 14.7k at the break.
Then came my downfall and the first hand after the break i found A Qo in the BB and I'm faced with a 1200 raise from a lady who had sat there pretty tight so i should of proceeded with caution, i called the raise from the BB to see a flop of J J X. I decided to check and see what the lady does, she bets out 1k and i don't think she has a J but i should of maybe put her on AA KK or QQ, i called and a K on the flop gives me a few outs. She again bets out 1k so i just flat call again, i miss everything on the river and she bets out another 1k, the pot is pretty big and i know i can only beat a bluff but i decide to call for information to be shown Kings Full. Lesson learnt.
Then came my elimination hand, at the 300/600 level with a stack of around 10k i limped in late position after 4 limper's with Ad 3d, the SB calls and Mama G in the BB checks her option. The flop comes down 6 K 3 rainbow and is checked by all, the turn is an A and I'm hoping somebody has just hit their Ace, to my surprise Mama G bets out 2100 from the BB, its just less than a pot sized bet and i don't know what to make of this bet, its folded round to me and i decide to flat call hoping that she slows down on the river. We are heads up and the river is a blank and Mama G fires out a 5k bet, I'm left with 8k and decide to ship it as i have put her on a lower 2 pair than me, i don't think she has AK or trips as she would of raised from the button, we both announce 2 pair and she flips A 6 which has my A 3 crushed and I'm out.
Maybe i should of flat called the 5k and saved myself 3k to play on with, or maybe we should have checked down the river as i would of liked. I hate being on the same table as Mama G as this thing is bound to happen sometimes. She eventually went on to come 2nd for a tidy sum of £470 which was nice as i had a share of it so no harm done in the end.

The AQ had was very spewy.
Preflop: fine
Flop: bad
Turn: very bad
River: awful
I don't really like your last hand. Limping with A-rag is generally bad, especially with an M of 10, but it was suited, and there's lots of limpers so we can play this for the flush. Once you miss that flush though you should probably be letting this go.
KJ - by all means limp on the button with this now and then for variety, but limping because it's your mother on the big blind is a) bad play, and b) soft play (which can have you disqualified).
Nah the best played street is the flop, preflop just fold the AQo if she's as tight as u think (tho u don't mention blinds here but if it's 100/200 then it's a snap fold).
You've basically admitted to soft play dan. Raise that KJ on the button and then value bet the river as played.
If u and ur mum check river and u both show aces up u should both be insta kicked out of the tourney, it won't happen but it should. I think river is a fold when she bets 5k, that's a big bet. But just shove pre and avoid all these nasty postflop decisions with shit hands, much better :)
