Last weekend I decided to enter a team Bouncebackability (Me, Dwayne, Keiran, Jon & Ross) into an event called Poccer a day of football and poker started in the day with a 5aside tournament which we did really well in, we won every group game then won the quarter finals, semi's and lost in the final 1-0 :( after completely dominating the game and hitting the post 3 times there one shot was enough to give them the win as we just couldn't find the back of the net. But runners up not too bad on our first ever appearance at Poccer. Anyway then we played the poker tournament good blind levels and decent deep stack tourney with 108 players a few of our players went out early to a huge round of applause by everyone playing there was a really good atmosphere at Poccer everyone was really friendly including the main organiser Clinton a nice friendly guy who was very helpful. We ended up getting 3 players to the last 14 of the tournament (myself, Keiran and Dwayne) Dwayne went out in 14th after being badly short stacked and not seeing any cards to get a double up from but he is always known for hanging in there whilst everyone else makes mistakes and ends up going out. Keiran went out in 11th after a dubious call from the eventual winner. The player raised from the button to 10k blinds 1-2k Keiran in the big blind had around 60k and shoved allin the player insta called with AQo :-s Keiran flipped over 99 and the guy who seemed to hit everything that night hit his queen on the turn. I got to the final table and ended up finishing 4th after a guy shoved utg blinds being 8k-16k I had around 70k in the Big blind looked down at a6 of diamonds and made the call as I knew he could be shoving UTG any 2 he flipped QJo and hit his Jack.
A bit dissappointing to go out after all that play (around 8/9 hours) I felt I played well but at the end of the day it all comes down to Luck when the blinds are that big and I'm not a huge favourite anyway but I got it in good :).
Well After our Poker team did so well having 3 players make the final 14 and finish 2nd overall in the Poker team event just missing out on 1st place, everyone absolutely loved Poccer and I'm really glad I decided to enter a team because it was a great day fun with some quality banter! Also we have been invited back to the grand final in September due to finishing 2nd overall in the team events ...where we hope to win both events this time :)
