    • Here is a quick summary of Me and Gordo's Deep Stack Experiance. I was card dead pretty much the whole way, with getting aa in 5 hours once as my biggest hand. No qq jj 10's etc lol. Had about 10 bb when the maniac on my right raised it 2000 to go with 400-800 the blinds. I decided I could make him fold so I shipped it for my last 8500 with j3 diamonds. He insta called with a5. Must had a great read on me since it was like the 6th hand I played in the last 5 hours and my first reraise. Oh well. I flopped a flush draw and missed. Gordo was pretty card dead as far as I could tell early, but won a key pot when he shoved his last 8g or so with 73 after an early lmper. The limper called with 66. Flop.... 7 3 10... river 7 lol. So Gordo 2xed up and found himself with 40g after a guy overshovede in early position with aq and G woke up with ak. NOw here is where the greatest moment in Gordos poker career happens. He had a fairly well know/ semi famous online player at his table named Jimmy Fricke. Thats Gobboboy for those of you who know who he is. With the blinds 600-1200 a guy open limps utg for 1200. Gobboboy sensing the guy is weak(correct read, it is what I was thinking) raises to 4g(Gobo has about 75g in chips at this point) Gordo with 48g in chips smooth calls with 88. Flop 862 2 diaqmonds. Gobo bets out 7g and gordo makes it 15g to go. Gobo thinks forever and then shoves. Gordo wets his pants while calling and Gobo shows.......J2 lol. Gordo is chip leader at his table. From there Godo 2x again with aa vs kk and jj allin. At the end he was coolered by the other chip leader at his tablw when the Kid raised utg with jj and another guy shoved with kk and Gordo woke up with aa and reshipped it. The kid who was the chip leader made a redonkulous call with jj and Gordo was set to be the tourny chip leader. Um nope, Jack ball on the flop gg Gordo. P.S. No spell check on this one, I's rather not relive it
