Just a quick post, had a good run at the beginning of the week last week. Made the final table on PartyPoker Big Game satellite, then followed it up the next night with another Double Points win at Red Hot Poker Tour.
One hand to talk about in my win at Red Hot. Blinds are at 100/200. I had 88 UTG. I open for 600. UTG +1 Goes over the Top to 1200, bunch of folds, then Button re-pops it again to 2400. SB and BB fold. There is 4500 in the pot. I decide to call the 1800 more to me getting just about 2.5 to 1. UTG+1 also calls. Flop comes Q84 rainbow. I hit my set so I check. UTG +1 checks. Button pushes. I take a couple minutes to call based on I know that button likes to play QQ so I am slightly worried that she has a bigger set. I have her covered so I decide to make the call UTG+1 folds. Cards get turned over and she has AA. Board comes blank-blank. I winner. She's angry. Due to me eliminating her online the night before with an open ended straight draw that I hit the straight on the river. She had QQ I believe, and had flopped a set.

Cooler Victim
Just a small post this morning. I was the victim of a MEGA cooler (as my friend Plat said) last night.
I had just lost a big pot and was down to 4300 in chips. I was UTG. I look at my cards and I have KK. Blinds are at 100/200. I make a raise to 800. A few folds. Cutoff re-raises to 2000. Button shoves for 7200. I decided to shave as well for all of my 4300, cutoff calls the 5200 more from the button shove. I show my KK. Both CO and B show AA. That's right. The hand is now KK v AA v AA. I was a little happy cause now I have outs. Then the board comes 898 9 9. So not only do I lose and go home and they chop the pot. But the board is a boat. I can't even to begin looking at the odds of getting a 3 way hand of KK v AA v AA. Let alone the board showing a boat.
Wasn't upset, cause sometimes that's the way the cards fall. Taking the weekend off from both the live and virtual felt.
See everyone Monday!

The Poker Funny
Ok, small update to the blog tonight. I need to inform everyone of a hand at one of my tables tonight at Red Hot Poker Tour.
So there was 2 people in the hand after the flop, both people at this point had straight draws, turn was nothing big, and then the river hit and both hit their straights. So at this point one checked the other pushed and the other called at which point they both show the 9 high straight.
Here is the funny. So guy 1 shows 94 offsuit, and then guy 2 shows A9 and says I also have the straight but I also have an Ace kicker!!! WoW!! He was serious and thought at first his Ace should of played.
Thats it for tonight. I ended up not making final table and went out 12th. But thats ok.
Thats it for this post, but I'll have one later in the week.
