Positive comment on the tourney: I rocked!!
I only won about 2 hands prior to the FT. KK ai on about the 3rd hand to a gambling shove monkey (ATs), and then JJ ai v's AK v's AK when I had 10bbs left on 2 tables to go I think. A few blind steals along the way but nothing exciting. Anyway, there was one guy that the whole tourney basically centered around. HUD wasnt working, but he must have been about 65/5 and just bet/bluff/call...I'll call him a maniac but mainly I dont think anyone could figure out wtf he was doing, but he kept winning lots of chips. Now I think back I think I won a few medium pots before the FT when he limped in and I picked off bluffs with 2nd pair type hands. I felt I got real good reads on him, came into the FT 4/10 think I dropped to 6/6 by the time 4 were out, then I went on my rush. Kept min-raising PF, this guy would call and I'd outplay him postflop. Pushed him off his weak bluffs when I had air, called him down when I didnt, and folded when he had something. Noone else could read him, benefits of only 1 tabling at the end I guess. Final three I started with 40k chips, another guy had 30k and he had about 120k. By the time we got HU I had the chip lead and hadnt shown down better than TPGK. Then I got lucky to finish him. Had him 160k to 80k ish. Minraise QJs, he minraised back (something he didnt do often). Flop KXX and he just minbet which I read as weak so raised him but he called. Turn a T and he minbet again so I put out almost PSB expecting him to fold but he didnt. River my A and he shoves (just because he's weak wont stop him making terrible bluffs), I call with my straight and he shows JJ. So I read him right as weak but was wrong to expect him to fold something that strong. So lucky on the last hand, but I had him under control and really felt good about how I played it.
