    Not exactly sure why I bet it like that. Oh well. I think I had a bad feeling he was going to outdraw me with an overcard or flush draw. I don't usually act based on feelings, but I figured I'd take down the rather sizable pot here.

    Bad call on my part. I should've been tipped off by the check on the flop after a preflop raise. Brain fart, while I'm not quite into the rhythm of the tourney yet.

    Finally some bloody action! Thank god for the loose call by him, even in a blind war! Scary turn though, for sure, as he went from 3 outs to 11.

    Bada bing! Decided not to slowplay on the flop because I thought he could have a high pocket pair, and its often less disguised that you have a true monster when you play it aggressively. Again have to survive a scary turn, this time going from 0 outs to 4. After that horribly dry stretch of cards, it was great going from 3k to nearly 13k in just a few hands, and it makes for much more interesting reading for this hand history.

    Kind of wished I called this later on. This guy ended up moving in a lot of times after players raised preflop, pushing them out, and built a very good stack for himself. I never had a real hand to call him with when he moved in (always seemed to do it after my loosest raises), and either it was the same for the other guys or they let him push them around too much.

    My first real blunder! And man did it hurt. Really really bad raise on the river, I out-thought myself here. I bet the flop on my draw and checked when I hit the 1 hole card K high flush on the turn, thinking that'd set him up to bet basically any spade on the river. I didn't really think about what he was calling with pleflop (i.e. high cards) and on the flop, which meant he easily could have the ace of spades. I wasn't worried about him having the straight flush after his preflop call, but am a bit surprised that he rereraised on the river without it. I should've just called the bet without even thinking about raising, and saved myself nearly 4k in chips. Bad Mike.


    And now I'll leave off with my worst hand of the tourney. More to come tomorrow, including a dramatic comeback that is so dramatic I don't recall it in detail!

    himself fucker.
    You need to stop lying about when you do and do not have quads, michael. It's a bad habit.

    You're a very aggressive player, michael...I like it. I wish I could learn how to play like that. Everytime I push or bet huge on a bluff people call me or push in.

    Bigred, you can't bluff a bad player. Depending on the site and buyin you're playing at, pure bluffing isn't likely to work often. If you don't already play at Poker Stars, I recommend the switch if you want to learn how to play more aggressively.

    Back to the rest of this tourney ... Skipping nearly all hands that I'm involved in that are decided preflop or with one bet on the flop, unless there's something interesting about it.

    A while later, with some blind steals and such passing, but nothing that interesting.

    My occasional limp with a suited connecting hand in early position. Typically there's enough fear that you're slowplaying a monster that you see a flop, and have more bluffing power, as long as they aren't seeing this often.

    This guy was probably the loosest at the table and called me down often, killing my bluffs. Finally got him here though. Turn basically cemented in my mind that I had him. Was hoping for calls here.

    Just a few hands ago I limped in early position with KK. Here I figured now that my hand would be more disguised by making a standard raise. Quad stalled preflop and I thought he was thinking about shoving in there, which he clearly was considering his post flop play. Tried to make the flop bet look like a steal as well, and luckily he bit big time. This hand puts me right back into the swing of things.

    Probably missed a steal opportunity on the turn here, but I was too tempted to take the free card. Considering the pot size, his flop raise wasn't enough to get me out there, but he seemed scared of my call. Whether he was feigning weakness on the turn or not though, who knows.

    Saxo was very aggressive. Figured he had two overs and I was willing to do a coinflip, but I didn't think he'd call here. Also, blinds just went up a good deal, so stealing was a lot more profitable.

    Many raises in a row now, but I keep catching an ace, which is pretty nice in a 3 handed game. I'm expected to get played back at soon.

    By far my luckiest hand of the night. Here's my thinking, throughout the hand. Preflop raise - I'm thinking pocket pair, but he may play back at me with all my betting recently, and obviously a weak ace is a much better hand 3 handed. I call thinking my ace is clean (I'm not dominated by a higher ace) and I may be able to get a good deal off of him if he won't fold his pocket pair (if its high) to an ace on the board, especailly because he's been very aggressive.

    On the flop I hit my ace, and think I have him for sure. Sucking in a bit more before I raise on the turn if he leads out again. He checks the turn, which is basically what I'd expect him to do with a pocket pair now, doing a nice job of sucking me in. He raises on the turn, but now over half my chips are already into the pot and I'm still thinking he has a hand like KK-JJ and isn't willing to lay it down. And as aggressive as he was being, I still didn't think he'd raise me preflop like that with a 9. I hit my 4 outer on the river (needed an ace or a 9), very luckily, to swing the chip advantage my way.

    Even though this obviously doesn't happen all that often, it does go to show the vulnerablitiy of low boats, and I do recall seeing this type of thing more than you'd expect. High boats are extremely tough to beat, but if you have a low boat, with a set that's lower than the board pair, then any higher pair has 4 outs, and a person with a board set (like a 9 on this board) has even more outs (any board pair besides the one you have a set on, and pairing their other hole card, for a total of 7 outs). So anyway, it goes to reason that low boats should be played a bit faster than high boats.

    Saxo's last hand. Felt a bit bad for dishing out that bad beat to him a few hands ago, he played well.


    Heads up match (I'll show this in its entirety, bolding key hands):

    Heads up play is far from being my strength, and its not something I have a ton of practice in, especially with big stacks compared to the blinds, but I do feel that I outplayed him by a good margin in this match.

    Got a few big hands in a row here. Pick up AA and he goes all in on the flop with top pair! Monte Carlo here I come, just don't let his 5 outer hit! Safe turn ... the river isn't a K or a Q! Yay! Oh shit ... that's a straight ... *life sucked out of me*. That's how this hand felt. Boom, in one turn of a card I go from having a dominate chip lead and about to finish this one off to being the small stack. Now I know what Saxo felt like.

    Got him in even worse shape than last time, just 3 outs! This is getting ridiculous! I can understand getting lucky to survive once heads up, going all in when you're dominated, but twice? Even worse than that, he moves in post flop when he has no pair and no draw. Silly, and lucky, him.

    michael1123 said, "are you interested in doing a deal where I give you cash?" - suckouts starting to get to me, I know I can outplay him, but I'm worried about him getting lucky again. And he should be thankful as hell just to be alive after sucking out of me twice, so maybe I'd get a pretty good deal.

    Some heads up all in luck on my side finally. Flop looked good with two overs and the open ended draw and a backdoor flush draw. But he had a Q as well, which made it 7 outs for me to win and 4 more to tie.

    Chance to put him away again, but lost the coinflip. Was a tad bit surprised that he'd call an all in here with 22, since he had been pretty tight and knew it was a coinflip at best. I'd have thought he'd have shoved in, or at the very least bet more, instead of making a standard bet and calling all in.

    Got lucky to finally finish the bugger off. No way I question my play here, though. Can't fold AQ heads up with that chip stack difference.


    Whew, finally done. It sure is stressful being in that long of what was basically a $15k heads up match, especially when you have him on the ropes twice and get burned by the river!

    Comments are welcome.

    Well, congrats for a start, pretty gruelling heads up there, I've just had a quick glance cuz I'm at work, but I'll have more of a look later (and try and learn too).

    You won a trip to Monte Carlo right? That's two events in a year - awesome.

    EDIT: Oh you posted in another thread - congrats again anyway
