Thank you for participating.

Good job man. Did you play in the tourney or just cash the $T.

cash the $$$$, sold the 5.2 k to a buddy in stars for 5.0k.

I seem to be cashing a lot lately

Steve

P.s I will play the event next month though, looks like my kinda fun.

Very nice win!

Just for the record, I ended up playing with my second ticket and bubbled with set over set.

UTG I make it just under 3x, he flat calls from mid position

i had 88,

flop is 8 2 10, rainbow.

I checked UTG, he bets about 40% of the pot. I immediately thought this guy had ducks. or a big over pair. He had a very tight conservative presence.

turn is a J....8 2 10 J was definately not threatening to me, thoughts he could he holding AQ, AK hearts crossed my mind as I am now look at 10 J hearts on the board, or maybe jacks.

I bet 65% of the pot to see if he had a draw, still not worried. He game straight back at me with min raise. Obviously I knew I was in a lot of trouble at this point, the move was text book huge hand, comittment your oppenent to the pot.

I could of and should of folded my set in this instance (against this player only), but my commitment level, the cards I chose to push at this point.

No way in hell does he have a straight 79 or 9Q. Over pairs dont worry me, high suited contectors, he is still drawing. Odds tell me I am still ahead by a long way and can win.

river is an Ace.

He had 1010 in the hole. I dont regret the hand, or anyones play. His preflop play was what beat me.

oh well. next year!

Steve

River comes an Ace spades.

Set over set situations only come along once in awhile. You can't blame yourself for anything in this hand, you made the right play. You'll definitelly get him next time.

I guess 5 years ago a lot of pre flop play was different, he would of raised.

Now days you get people playing all ins, rasing from UTG like a new button position, many people seeing flops with AA-1010 as cheap as posible and trying to build pot on turns.

You are right, play the hand 100 times and I wouldnt change a thing, replay the hand 100 times under the same betting strategies, and I would of had the premium hand 99 times out of 100.

Strange part about this guy is we were playing some 2/4 cash later that night, i got my 250 buy in up too 800.00 and left the table for some dinner.

when I am came back from dinner, i rebought for 250.00, very first hand he pushed his stack of about 1400.00 i shoved with my AA. He had 1010 AGAIN and hit the flop again lol.

knew it wasnt my day and went to bed lol!
