   Long Session Good Result.

   Well Saturday night we played a 20 man tourny up in san mateo.
   1 rebuy per person.
   I played fine for the first hour, then at the beginning of the third round i made a pretty silly mistake.
   I floped top pair, turned two pair, and was all in on the river.
   Unfortunatly my opponent flopped a set, and called the whole way.
   He checked it to me on the river when i went all in, so it was just stupid on me.
   I didn't want to re-buy so i just sat around for 30 minutes waiting on a cash game, but it appeared to be several hours away.
   So the group let me re-buy during the break. i came back with 20 times the big blind.
   Ended up with first.
   _~~~~~~~~~~~
   Noteable Hands :
   1. My Q3 of hearts, versus Keiths QJ offsuit.
   Flop : 10 K A Rainbow.
   I check, he bets 5,000. I call.
   turn put up a heart giving me the flush draw.
   I bet 5,000. He raised to 15. I called assuming i had 9 hearts and 3 jacks.
   Heart hit the river and I got paid off 5, 000 more chips.
   2. Jason and Z got a little destructive later in the tournament. blinds were about 3k/6k and jason held 50k in chips and Z 40k. i was at about 160.
   Well during this blind period there was an all in preflop about 1/4 hands. Generally from them.
   Well Jason's big blind i pick up J 7 of Diamonds. I limp. He goes all in.
   I figure he is prolly sitting on AK. The blinds had just hit 7,000. there was (his 7000, the small blinds 7,000, my 7,000 and mike's 7000) so 28,000 in the pot. and it was approximently 40,000 to call.
   I figured it was a 60/40 so i called. He flipped up AK of diamonds. so im ok with it, just waiting on a J or 7 to hit.
   Bam, a K of hearts in the window, followed by a 10 8 of diamonds. what a flop for him, top pair and nut flush draw.
   i got to hit runner runner J, or 7, or a 9. Practicly 4 outs. 16%ish.
   str8 flush hit the turn.
   Sucks that he hit the flop so hard and still get beat. But the money was put in when it was a 60/40 so im fine with it. Flop coulda just been a 7 5 2 for all i cared.
   3. 3 handed. Poor phil. Now i had been playing the cards right and catching some luck here and there as you can see above. But up till ol phil's hand i hadnt actually sucked out to win a hand.
   i got J 7, poetic hand for the night.
   Phil has QQ.
   He slow plays preflop and i get to see it. J 5 2.
   He bet, i raised him all in. He called of course. 7 hit the river and he got 3rd :(

   First hand of heads-up was actually hilarious to me.
   i lost it and ended up winning like 15 minutes later but if this doesnt make u smirk then nothing will.
   So i peel up AK first hand of heads up.
   blinds are 4k/8k.
   He calls the blind. I raise to 24k.
   He calls.
   Flop comes out 2 diamonds and all low cards nothing special.
   I didnt think he hit so i bet out 16,000.
   He called. Turn came a 3 of clubs.
   he bets out 24k.
   Obviously he hit the 3.
   I call hoping for an A or a K on the river, but plan to bet the flush if it hits.
   Well the river hit and its the 3 of Diamonds.!!!
   now i had him on a 3 so i know he hit trips, so i was just gunna muck if he bet.
   but i said "your first to act" well he thought the hand was over so he flipped up K3.
   and i told him that its his turn to bet not show.
   so of course he checks.
   i go all in.
   so now he is sitting there looking at a flush draw that hit on the river and already knows i know he has trips.
   so after like 2 minutes he shook my hand and said second place is good enough. so he calls.
   he grabs the second place envelope and hears me say "count it up, how much do i owe you?"
   lol

   that so worked better in my head :)

   so i won the tourney later on some 8's followed by a 56
   then played cash game till 6 am and took down a bite more

   • I wasn't talking about you calling me - I was talking about Mike calling w/ the K3 even though he "knew" you had him :p I'm fine w/ you calling w/ J7 - I call (and go all in with) 40/60 all the time.

   • Well the hand was pretty simple to me cause we put our money in preflop i figured you for AK, i knewi had j7 pot was right.
     but on the flop came out i saw the K and 2 diamonds i didnt realize i flopped the gutshot draw for a few seconds. but the dealer was a speed demon.
     woulda been much better if the turn woulda been a 9 of spades :)
     honestly i really didnt wanna rebuy.
     i said no like 4 times, but they wanted my dead money in there so bad heh. personally if i was on the oppisite side of it i would have been ok with anyone rebuying, woulda been the same as an alternate, come in late with 20k in chips with blinds 500/1000
     heh most of the time tats dead money

   • Nice J8d yo! You forgot to mention I called it out for you before you even realized it would make you a straight flush and kick my ass :(

     Congrats on the win, even though they shouldn't have let you rebuy!!! Nobody ever asked our table if we were cool with it :p J/K - You're money's always good here!

     BTW, don't you love it when people call you when they "know" they've lost? Or "just to see" what you have? Hah.

     See you next time, dog.
