Very well played Carl.......top performance!!
Andy & Chris well done also, great start for the team.........I will attemp to contribute next time
Thanks fella.. Well happy at winning... Good for the team too...
I had one mega hand on the final table where it all went mad.... I had KK, so raised it quite big, maybe 4 or 5 bb if I remember right, maybe 30% of my chips... think there was a caller, and also, my team mate, ckelly1, who was a large stack, reraised us both for all in. I felt I had to get the rest of my chips in here.... If I win, I take the chip lead... If I lose and Ckelly wins, so be it, but a good chance for one of us to get to the top of the chip counts... So i call....
The cards all come over... Me - KK.... Ckelly - AA... Other person A 10... I managed to flop a K and it is all history from there. CKelly still had maybe 20k of his 50k left, other villain was gone... bit of a suck-out for me (Well a lot of a suckout) but enjoyed the night. Was happy with the general play on all the tables I was on... A few hands where I thought, wow I would not make that call with those cards, but in general, all OK..
At heads up, I was 20% of the chips.. 1st hand Ace 7, oppo pushed in first hand, so I made the call and was facing Q3... I won and doubled up, and was still not equal in chips... few more hands, I folded, played a bit weak on purpose to lull false sense, then made some pushes with blank to get folds.... I pushed in with 44 and was called with ace rag and my pair held up to give me a 70-30 lead.... Then I got QJ, raise 3x, was called... flop KQx,... I bet big, he called, but never did I believe him, so did similar on river, still had only 2nd pair, and on the river he pushed for 100k more, not enough to get me all in, but enough if I call and am wrong i am back to 20% of chips... I gave it a little thought and time, and was still convinced my Q was good here, so made the call, and his seat exploded... BOOM.... LOL.. I love that feature of the final table...
I was still buzzin for an hour or so after that..
Well done all...
Carl..
