Won on my first hand a raise preflop flopped a high flush he raised i all ined he called top two pair. i won. Waiting for round 2 which may start early this summer
He was very aggressive and constantly reraised me. Once after 3 or 4 reraises I folded and he showed T high with A, K, Q on the board.
But I finally got him with AT when I raised, he reraised (as usual), I put him all-in because I had him out chipped, was sick of his shit, and I wanted to really test him. I expected him to fold but he called me with a7.
I passed my first level also. Played a classic weak tight player, built up a god lead, then nearly crippled myself when a flop came AA2 with me holding A3 and he holding A8.
8 came on the river and I was down to 500 chips. In classic weak tight fashion, I bullyied my way back to 1400, then trapped his QQ with my 87 after I turned a straight.
I turned up the aggression, and he was out soon after. I'm gonna need caffine.
Finished 1st round about 10 min ago. I had to leave for dinner with about 2k in chips. Came back with 100 or so. Grinded it out and won. A few lucky all-ins. Thanks for the support Redington!
Didn't know this was heads up matches...
logged in 10 minutes late and was down to 1000 chips....
took a while but beat some bitter guy on a few suckouts.
Can't see playing more than a couple more rounds (i'm in Atlantic Canada - hello!)
So hoping to run into a forum member and get RUN OVER...
I'm through to round 3. I think I got pretty lucky oponnent-wise in round two. He was very passive and I almost always knew if he had it or not on the turn. I chipped away until I had a 4k to 1k lead. The he went all-in with kq and I called with 66. Three beautiful aces came down along with some rags... and it was all over.
Through to rounf three...took along time my connection was acting up. I get some momentum and I would be disc come back and see he had about 5 of my blinds.
Then he would raise like I wasnt there, I would reraise as I was back. Pretty sure he shit with his 82o.
10 o clock round three...
"No really honey", I stammer, "if I go onn to round three, and then 4, 5 6 7 8 and nine, I have a chance to play another one of these for a chance at a trip to London. It is Ev+ , real big Ev baby. So I don't need to go to work tommorow right?.. EV baby Ev baby....."
Out in 78th. Was fun while it lasted. I'm sure Stars got a lot of complaints about the structure. I highly doubt I'll play in the Thursday one. G'luck to the rest of you still in it!
This was good heads-up practice for only 50 FPP. I can sleep now!
I played a very tough opponent named "itwassoooted"
He made one great play folding his top pair (kings) to my AA.
Another hand I had AQ. He raised preflop, i reraised him, and he shoved me all-in. I tanked and folded. Turns out he had AQ also.
We went back and forth. I fell behind and he really pressured me. I started to fire back with any A or K in my hand and took 3 pots in a row. The next hand i limp with 87 suited and flop a straight, and the straight flush draw. I bet the pot hoping he would play back at me, cuz of my previous aggresion, and since i looked desperate with only 1/4 of the chips. H folded! It was my biggest mistake and the only play i regret making. I shoulda let him catch something....
Then I finally went out with 55. Flop came 942. I thought this was a great tiem to move all-in because I was positive he didn't have a pocket pair. But turns out he had the 9. And even worse, he had 95! leaving me with one out.

Going to watch some tv while I wait.
Much tougher player than the first round. I was down a bunch, then came back with a 5-1 chip lead.
Then Monkey Man came out to play and the tournament is finished. Off to World of Warcraft for me!

GL to all the forum types who still have chips & chairs. :cool:
BTW, isn't it brutal how the whole schedule of blinds doubles every round?

Hehe... I like using the Coles Notes version. Four digits and a hyphen is all you really need to know to pass the final exam.

AA vs KK guess who caught a king....not me
Least I can go to bed since my wife will let me live to tell about it later!

Good luck to Dick Hertz who's still sailing along!
