Aug 13/04 Pokerstars $3+0 tourney, one of the best I ever did

Just gonna point out the important hands (hands I play past the flop, or lose abit of the stack):
10/20 blinds
Hand 12 (T1430), pick up AKc, call 80, fold to 160 bet on 832 rainbow flop

Hand 14 (T1310), pick up AKo, raise to 80 in EP, 3 see flop, comes QJT rainbow, I check flop. I check turn as well (9d) and button bets 80, EP raises to 160, I raise to 240, button folds, and EP calls. River is a 7h, EP bets 200, I go all in 790 more to call. He calls and shows K9 (for the sucker straight).

15/30
Hand 17 (T2760), I have KQo in the SB, and MP raises to 60 (45 to call), I call, flop comes 8KJ rainbow, MP raiser bets 60, I reraise to 200, and MP calls. Turn is a 9, I bet out 300 first, he calls. Turn is a 3h and we both check and I win

hand 18 (T3440), I have KQo on the button and folded to me. I raise to 70, SB calls and BB raises to 110 (I call 40). Flop comes 322, BB bets 180, I fold.

25/50 - TABLE IS NOW VERY TIGHT, can't believe it myself
hand 33 (T3285), UTG with AKo, I raise to 150, and win pot

50/100
Big hand
Hand 53 (have not played any hands since previous T3185), on button with 66, UTG calls 100 and folded to me, so I call.SB calls 50, then BB raises to 300, UTG calls, I call, and SB folds. Flops comes 8c4s6s, BB bets 300, UTG raises to 1235, I call (with trips, hoping to get a call out of BB). BB Calls, turn is a 9h, BB goes all in, no way I am laying this down, I think they are on big pocket pair, straight is near impossible. BB shows QQ, UTG shows TT, and I collect a HUGE pot :D (T7319)

75/150
hand 80 (T6907), I am Button+2 and have QJd, I call, flops on TK8 (2 clubs), checked to me (button flop) and bet 400 (on straight draw). EP calls, turn is 2c (I check button), river is Ts, EP bets min and I make a strange call (either felf I wanted to see his cards and didn't want to be pushed out of a pot on min bet). He had A high flush (not nutz due to FH possibility).

100/200
Hand 94 (T5507), i pick up AJo on the button. Button+1 calls, and I raise to 500, only button calls. Flop comes 6JA rainbow, I check to hopefully lure a bet on the turn. Turn is a 4, I make a small 400 bet and he folds, wanted him to go over the top, oh well.

100/200 A25
Hand 100 (T6282), I pick up AQo in UTG+1, I raise to 500 and pick up pot (nice with Blinds and Antes)

Hand 106 (T6357), in LMP I get KJo, and call, buton raises to 600. I decided to call 400 (3 see flop). Flop comes 5QK, EP ch
ecks, I bet 900, button flat calls, and so does EP. Turn is a 4, EP checks I bet 1000, button calls, EP calls, I am thinking wtf, are they all in draw, trapping. Turn is a 9 which completes the JT straight. Ep checks, I check, button checks. Me and EP and KJ. I asked button if he had AQ and he said yes.

hand 110 (T7769). I get 99 (gretzky) on BB, button +2 raises to 600, I call 400. Flop comes TAQ, all 3 check flop. Turn is a 4, I check, and button raiser bet 600, I call, don't need a confrontation now.

Hand 111 (T7144), I get JTo in SB, and call 100, 4 see flop. KTK, we all check. Turn is an 8, we all check (I think my hand may be good). River is a 4d (possibly flush), I check just in case, BB bets 600, button calls 600 and so do I. BB shows 2T, button muchs, and I win with JTo.

200/400 A25
Hand 120 (T8544), I get AQo in SB. Fold to 2800 bets, yikes!

hand 126 (T8194), I get AQo in UTG+1, I raise to 1000, and pick up pot.

Hand 128 (T8969), I get AQo in BB, LP calls, SB calls, I raise to 1000 and they both call. Flop comes 539 rainbow, EP checks, I bet 1600 hoping everyone missed flop, on LP calls. Turn is a 9, I bet 2000 now, hoping he maybe thinks I have 9s or higher pair, he calls again, I am thinking I am beat. River is a Kd (no flush), I check, he bets 800 (2xmin) and I call because pot is SO BIG!!! He has A4 and was chasing the inside straight, and made a poor bluff attempt on the river. I win a big pot (T15569). Bluff got right :D

Hand 131 (T15119), I get AKo on button +1, I raise to 1000 (first in) and take down pot. I like to keep my raises the same during tourneys, around 2.5 min

300/600 A50
hand 148 (T13394), I get KJo on button, I bet 1400, and BB raises me to 2200 (800 to call), I call, Flop comes 2A7, he checks, I bet 2000, he calls ARG. Turn is a T, he checks I check (I think he will call another bet). River is a Qs (flush possibility, but I have straight). he bets 17087 all in, I think and can't put him on a runner runner flush, so I call. He shows 44, I show straight and take down a massive pot (T27388)

400/800 A50
Hand 169 (T23988), I get JQs in MP and call. 4 see flop, EP bets 4000, I call rest folds. Turn is 8, again EP bets 4000, I think to steal , and raise to 10000. River is a J, EP checks, and I raise all in (9138), EP thinks and then calls all in. I have two pair and EP shows AQ for one pair and a RIVERED!!! I may have overplayed my hand, but I won :P T47248

600/1200 A75
Hand 174 (T46687), I am on button with JTo, and raise to 2800. BB calls 1600. Flop comes 9QT, BB bets 2400, and don't know whether this is a bluff or actual hand as I have middle pair and straght draw. I reraise for info to 5500, and he calls. River is a A he now bets 3600, I call, too much in pot. River is a J (two pair) and ez straight board. He bets min, and I just call. He has AJ for two pair, arg, I was winning on flop.

Hand 182 (T30795), I get Q9c in SB, folded to me and pot is big, so I call (BB has a bigger stack). Flop comes Q2T (2 clubs as well). I think I should have checked this hand as it had top pair and MONSTER potential, but I bet 2K to 3K pot and take it down.

Hand 186 (T32370), I get 22 in LMP, I raise to 2800, only BB calls. Flop is 4Q6, he checks and I bet 3600 and win 6800 pot.

Hand 186 (T36370), I get AQo in MP, and call (I've been raisiing before, but this time just call). 4 see flop, QJT, 2 ppl check, I bet 4200 and LP goes all in 5000 more, EPs fold, I figure I got top pair, inside straight draw (even possible 2 pair) and runner runner so I call. Flips QT, It hink pf raise would have knocked her out of pot.

1000/2000 A100
Note, at this time or around before, we had like 4 of the top 30s at table including tourne chip leader.
Hand 194 (T24325), I have KK in MP, and chip leader(EP) raises to 10K, I reraise all in (either hoping to pick up 15K or doubleup). He calls (loose call) and shows KT, to be dominated. I win on 85Q78 board. T52250

Saw a hand of AK vs AK go all in and one hit flush, yuikes

Also now placed at the table of ammbo (from the ITH forum, I know some of you know him).

1.5K/3K A150
hand 214 (T47250), I am UTG and get AKo, 8000. SB and BB call. SB and BB check flop (Q86) and I did not try to take stab at it, arg, turn is 2s, and BB bets 6K, I think, pot is over 33K to call 6K, but I decide I won't get involved this hand.

I once call min with KQ in midd,le but fold to Ammbos all in, he hits trips on flop and ended with a full house

2K/4K A200
Starting to get blinded out. T21650).
Hand 227 (T21450), I am on button+1 and get AKo, EP calls, then I raise all in 21K (12 K pot). EP shows 22, flop is 34K :D turn is a K, and river is a J (T50100)

Note: not sure when I became in the money, but I think there were about 80 left now maybe less and 135 paid

3000/6000 A 300
Hand 239 (T41600), I get AsKd in the BB, EP bets 18000 and table has been talking about Karma so I hope for good karma. I reraise 23K all in. EP calls and shows AhKh. 1 person laughs. Flop is 3h5c8h, me and ammbo say NNOOOO. Turn is a 4h (I am done). River is useless, and I am out 36th (for $20, 1st was 1300 oh well) I checked stats, AhKh is a 52.5% favourite.
