    Been apretty solid game to here. I'm short stack after some bad cards and a set over set w/ short stack. Going to push here but look what happens......a lesson on $equity mistake......lol

    Button (t6125)
    Hero (t960)
    BB (t1495)
    UTG (t4920)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, J.
    UTG raises to t400, Button calls t400, 2 folds.

    Flop: (t1100) 9, 4, 3 (2 players)
    UTG bets t400, Button raises to t2400, UTG calls t2000.

    It's not how many pots you win, it's what's in them that counts.

    Yep, the AK dude is a total idiot - and would be one even without the ICM effect. Gotta love these idiots handing you huge amounts of equity!

    Yup....agree 100 percent. I watched this in total amazement. 5 hands later I was happy to walk away with second place.....this after sweating the bubble vs 2 huge stacks a few minutes prior.
