  • Great showing!! Any good river or call down stories??


    :spade:
  • yeah a couple

    early on 50/100 blinds I'm in ep with AK o
    stack around 7000

    utg bets 300 I reraise to 600
    mp flat calls so does CO
    original raiser pushes for 1150 more...

    I put him on qq-aa from his previous play but decide to play it..
    I made a mistake here maybe but in hindsight glad I did..
    I flat call

    both others flat call behind me..
    flop is 775
    I check MP checks LP pushes All in for around 10-12k I have 5 and fold
    mp folds

    he flips 73suited UTG shows AA


    A little later 1 was interesting too...
    I'm in BB with QTo 7k+ stack blinds 150/300

    4 guys limp in sb folds I check 1600$ pot
    flop is 9JQ rainbow.. I'm sitting with Top pair and open ended draw.. I felt I was ahead at this point and thought I'd try and take it down right now...

    I bet pot 1500$
    1 caller rest fold.. His call had me wondering now..
    Turn comes TEN !!! ohh nooo..
    desicion time right
    HU if I check he'll auto bet and I can't call, so I think for a couple minutes and decide to try around 2k bet

    DOH he pushes all in..
    previous play I know he has AK now and have 4 outs..
    If I call I got 4 outs if I loose I'm going home early...
    I fold
    left with 3800 at first break..

    the rest of my day was pretty uneventful..
    doubled up with AA just after the break.. I min raised and a lady put me all in hehe AA vs her QQ AA held..
    I got rolling on that table and took down some pots off strong bets and out playing people then with about 15k I got moved..
    stayed at next table#7 right up to final.. managed to steal a few and get up to 39,500$ when we broke for final table..

    Table 8 was going nuts... they were taking guys out left and right and what seemed like 1 every hand or 2
    the two big stakes there go HU OHOH this is trouble
    20-30k pot tell river 1 ace up rest rags.. first to act checks and other guy bets 10k.. FTA re raises all in.. And he's called.. a mountain of chips I'm guessing close to 160-200k

    they flip

    guy who check raised allin shows A6 for a pair of aces.. winner shows A8o for a pair of aces but his 8 plays hehe.. wow Great kickers on those two hands!!!!

    the card topper is Really nice... Glad to see they added them..
  • It's interesting how sometimes you need to really protect an AA before the flop! Pretty ballsy for someone to go in with a 73s.

    Great instincts shown, that is something that I am still developing as I have been known to overplay some hands without predicting what is in my opponents hands. I am getting much better though.

    When it came to final three did any of you bring up splitting the pot? I was a short stacked third on the home stretch of the tourney I placed 2nd in, and was very willing to split 3 ways. Chip leader said no and I eventually took him out (great comeback).
  • Good job.
  • Yeah I talked about chopping it a few times..

    when we hit 3 people I only had 36k left in chips and was on the BB in 5k/10k blinds..

    SB put me all in first hand I put him on Ax and called with QJo

    I was right cept he had Axs and made a flush

    the two chip leaders had roughly 468k tween the 2 of them.. to my 36k hehe
    would you split with me?

    soon as I went out they chopped it 2 ways and played for the title/casino points..
  • How much did you win ?
