Newton’s PL 5-Card Draw Freeroll (PokerStars):
Once again I played another 5-card draw freeroll really well before blowing it near the end. Early on I had to contend with a table that only had two players that weren’t sitting out. These tables do allow you to stick in the game for quite awhile and build a small stack but you eventually start to fall way behind the overall leaders. I did win about $500 with a two pair draw (8’s and 10’s). I had a lot of other great hands that aren’t even worth mentioning because they only netted me about $100. I did get a straight draw right off the bat that increased my stack to $2,920.
I also won a battle of full houses with my tens full of deuces beating fours full of jacks for a $2,805 pot. A nut flush built my pot to $6,545 and got me to #247 out of 3,143 players. After finally getting on some better tables, I continued to build in the middle of the tourney. I eventually got up to $10,125 and #221 out of 1,530 before losing a lot of it by being too aggressive after the break. I usually struggle staying aggressive after the hour mark so I wanted to change things but it didn’t work out. This caused me to fall back to about $5,000 in chips but I won it all back and more soon after. I continued to play pretty aggressive throughout the rest of the tourney and eventually busted out when my small straight ran into an ace-high straight. I finished in 574th place (out of 6,000).
