  1. Hope nobody saw that HU match. I was moving right along, got coolered, frustrated and had to go do something stupid again. QJ with no plan. Not happy. I hate going to bed pissed. Thank you to all of you who followed and gave me luck.

    Aaron
  2. I was rooting for you you played a great tourney congratulations.
  3. gg congrats
  4. I know you wanted the win but $160k ain't nothing to sneeze at either. GG man. Blowups happen to all of us at some point. Just learn from it for the future.
  5. not a whole lot to be pissed at. $160,000 richer.
  6. Congrats, Aaron....you played a hell of a tourney.
     
  7. "Not happy. I hate going to bed pissed."

    Dude, you just navigated your way through 10k of the best donks PS has to offer, and walked awway with 160k; nothing to be pissed about.
  8. Hmmmmmmm, Gotcha55: +160k; mkind16: -26k. Trade?

    Glad I could make u feel better about it. Great job.

  9. Ok so that last hand wasn't my favorite, but if you think about it the XR AI on turn would've probably worked if he hadn't hit two pair. Not trying to justify it or anything, but if that bluff works you look like a genius instead of a fool so to me you got kind of unlucky on that turn. OTOH, you only had Q-high. ;)

    Still a great tourney, I thought you played well and congrats on the $$$.
  10. I'd go to bed pissed every night for $160K in my acct. Hell, I usually do go to bed pissed after playing stars.

    Good job though....that field was unreal.
     
  11. i know you wanted the win, but nice score nonetheless.

    well done.
  12. Anyone have the hand history for the last hand?
     
  13. Until someone posts it I'll just give you my imperfect recap:

    Stacks something like $60M to $40M against Kanter. Tanbai has done little-to-no limping so far, usually folding or making it $4M to go. This time he limps and Kanter (who has normally been doing min. raises as dealer) makes it $4M from BB. Tanbai flat calls.

    Flop is 975 and Kanter leads out for $4 or $5M and Tanbai min-ish raises, I think to $8-$10M and Kanter just calls.

    Turn is a 4 (no flush possibilities I don't think) and Kanter checks; Tanbai bets half pot I think and Kanter instantly re-raised all-in and Tanbai beat him into the pot with 74 for two pair -- Kanter is unfortunately drawing dead with QJo.

  15. I caught the heads up match this morning and I have to say you were going to send this guy home in second place more often then not even when it got to even chip counts. He ran well heads up and played that last hand well albeit he got exceptionally lucky again. GG
