   Friday 9/5 High-Rollers at Deuces Wild

   
   Friday 9/5 High-Rollers at Deuces Wild: $100+10+5 buy-in, 11,000 chips, 30 players >> Finished 5th (about $250 prize)

   Nice move? down to ~15 players, blinds creeping up, M down to ~7, the conservative UTG guy limps in, I decide, in late position to raise all-in with a weak A6 off. Blinds fold, and UTG mocks his AQ, very upset. I am glad but shut-up. Next hand on his BB I get Queens! I shove all-in again, SB folds, and he mocks his hand again. I realize my relatively tight image might be compromised, so I show my QQ saying "two hands in a row, amazing!" Image reinforced.

   Lucky hand: SB is a jerk, aggressive big stack but very lucky. UTG is the short-stack (M=4) ultra-conservative. I am on the button with M ~6 and a pocket 9s. UTG goes all in (2/3rd of my stack); it's folded up to me: I grab all my chips to go all-in but the SB jumps the gun and announces all-in out of turn. I freeze and re-consider: the jerk is not crazy, and exudes confidence (and apologizes...) I decide to fold and he shows Queens, UTG shows AKs. First card on the flop is a Queen, end of story... Free-roll baby!

   Last hand: 6th place finish was the BB on my right, and got busted by one of the 2 massive chip leaders.
   BB moves to me at 4,000 leaving me with 32,000. Nader (the other chip leader) raises on the cut-off to 10,000. I have an M of 5+ but in 2 minutes blinds go up to 3,000 and 6,000 or an M of 3! I found a pocket deuces in the hole and push all in. Nader pushes all his chips and shows pocket rockets. Good night, $250 is not too bad!

   • Nice work. All in w/ the QQ is good after forcing him to fold against your A6. Too bad he didn't bite :)
