when we got to heads up in this little 18-man pl08 tourney, my opponent already had first place wrapped up … or did he ?

Level XI (600/1200)
Seat 6: ResdentEvil (4603 in chips)
Seat 8: reepher420 (22397 in chips)

sigh, i was willing to see a cheap flop but he had other ideas. well, if you are going to push in a game of hi-lo, surely you need more than a big pair to go to war with ? the amount of people i see push with only a hi hand, well, tut tut indeed.

ResdentEvil: shows [5h 9h 4h Th]

board [5c 9c 7s Jd] [5d]

ResdentEvil won (9206) with HI: a full house

Seat 6: ResdentEvil (9206 in chips)
Seat 8: reepher420 (17794 in chips)

that gave him something to think about, we saw a cheap flop and he folded to my shove on the flop.

Seat 6: ResdentEvil (10481 in chips)
Seat 8: reepher420 (16519 in chips)

i then folded pre-flop with 2,6,8,T rainbow. well if i hit a low i am not going to beat much with that and hitting a high ? no thanks.

Seat 6: ResdentEvil (9806 in chips)
Seat 8: reepher420 (17194 in chips)

next hand he raised pre-flop, i call and the flop comes down with two 5’s … we both have a 5 and we both have an A for a kicker :) split pot !
very next hand it all goes in pre-flop and on this board

[Kc 6d 5h 5c] [Js]

reepher420: shows [3c Ks 2h Th]
ResdentEvil: shows [2s Kd Jd 5s]

i was luckier than he was. i was quite happy to put it all in, outs to both low and high and double sooted. so within 3 hands he is not in too good shape.
the very next hand he decides to get all aggro pre-flop, so who was i to argue ?

Seat 6: ResdentEvil (19612 in chips)
Seat 8: reepher420 (7388 in chips)

reepher420: raises 1200 to 2400
ResdentEvil: raises 4800 to 7200
reepher420: raises 113 to 7313 and is all-in
ResdentEvil: calls 113

*** RIVER *** [As 6h 7c Ah] [8c]

ResdentEvil: shows [2h Ac 5h Ad] (HI: four of a kind, Aces; LO: 7,6,5,2,A)
reepher420: shows [Jd Qd 7s 4d] (HI: two pair, Aces and Sevens; LO: 8,7,6,4,A)

personally i would have seen a cheap flop with his cards. perhaps the title should have been “how to beat your opponent in 6 hands when he has a 5 to 1 chip lead” … if i had thrown that lead away, i would be pig sick. then again, i would not be pushing with the hands he had.

then again, what do i know ?

60 seconds pt1

gawd damn friday already, w00t.

no poker last night or the night before … enjoy :)

never strikes the same place twice !!
pardon me for saying so, cobblers ! in fact, cobblers cobblers !!

obviously those fine folks over at ’stars have erected an 8,000′ steel mast just to attract as many strikes as possible. i can take a bad beat as well as the next guy … i can even take two in a short space of time, sort of, maybe … but, fcuk me, in the same damn tournie … and double fcuk me, against the same damn player … sigh

Al said exactly what i was thinking, well the polite version anyway.
thank you very much ’stars r.n.g … now we know what you are rigged too.

after a rather successful month of may, i wondered just where i stood in relation to the rest of the minions of the cyberfelt. nowhere near the top, as expected, then again, i aint gigli.

btw when i say “rather successful” i mean in my terms :)
