"Seriously though, you'll take AQo over JJ anytime???"

I'll take JJ everytime... I guess I just like having the best hand.

Pre-flop heads up, not the best hand but dam good draw.....

[Dave B]

Yea, I was down big early. I limped w/ 99 and flop was 10 8 x, Nick came out firing 60 or so. I called. Turn J, so now I was open ended and called another bet. River 9, I really couldnt put him on a Q or 7 since he was betting the entire way. I thought my set was good. He bet 300 more and I called. I likely would have called an all in there.

He had Q5.

Nice work Dave, too bad I missed it. Maybe next time I'll be there.

[Dias]

I had some really lucky spots, but also some good plays from my end

I ran really good on my first table, but once I got moved...it went up and down from there

You think??

I had insane hands before you took me out.

55, 88 (4 times), TT, JJ, KK, AA, AQ (3 times), and a few KQs, KJs and such..., and I only played like 30 hands.



I came in the tournament late, I missed at least 10 hands. First hand I played, flopped K high flush against Sal, but since I had the new beta version of PP, alot of bugs: the suits were flickering, I wasn't sure if I really had the flush... and then the software closed by itself 3 times. The 3rd time, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the regular version.

Then, first hand back, get 88 in LP, I raise, Dias call with his A7, flop comes 776.

Few hands later, some guy goes all-in preflop out of nowhere with AJo, I call with 55, and he catches an A on the flop. Pretty bold move by me though... a bit too aggressive.

Next hand, I double up with AA.

Two or 3 hands later, AQ, catch a Q on the flop, I push all-in after Dias reraised me, he calls with his TT, catches a T on the river. Me=out.



You could tell from the flickering suits in my first hand, that this was going to be a rough tournament.

I had paired my 5

I'm still annoyed with the first hand too, because you re-raised me pre-flop and after the flop. I should have let you take the lead on the turn, but I bet it hard and you folded. Had I picked up another 2 or 300 there, then you would have been out on the 9's.

After that though, a fantastic comeback, and some excellent big stack play. I don't think I used my stack well when I had 1k more than everyone on the table in the early stages. Pretty soon I was sat on the same stack and was 1k behind everyone. I think I got scared off having Sid and Scan one side of me and Adam and Dave on the other side.

Aye, that beta software was messing with you bad

And I know I got lucky catching ya with the 10s

But i actually thought you were pressuring with a lower pocket pair....mis-read on my part, and it panned out..

All I can do is shrug there..heh

[TxShadow]

umm, i guess i blinded out

This is what comes of getting drunk in the afternoon!

I woke up in time for the $10 rebuy tho so wish me luck

GL gentlemen

I think I ended up busting you Sorry!

I was so pissed at myself later. I donked off a large amount of my chips to (I think) SCBet on an ill-timed bluff. I haven't played in many tournies other than SNGs and I think my patience was waning. Still finished 20th so I guess that's not too bad. I had a lot of fun and I hope to do it again soon.

[golddog]

Early exit. My mind wasn't in the right place, I gave a bunch of chips to b0caj (is that ballbp?) on a horrible second pair/busted flush bluff. Anyway, I see he made good use of them.

Well done Dave, congratulations.

Yeah it's possible... I wonder if I would've pushed all-in on your 250 bet, if that would've made any difference. Anyway, doesn't matter... I'm just glad you finished 5th, so my chips served you well...



BTW, golddog, b0caj is Dias.

[Dias]

Aye, it was me

I had a really good time this tourney, more so then I did the last tourney I cashed

I played a totally different style then I normally ever wuld, and see spots where it worked and definate spots where it got me in trouble

Cant wait for the next one

and grats Dave

Was fun butting heads with ya a bit. =)

[TheSalche]

I suck, I was watching the OC at the time this tourney was on
