Two hands in the Sunday Warm-Up two months ago. If I win one of these, maybe I am a much richer man. Who knows?

Hand #1: 12 people left, guy shove all-in UTG, I have KK. He shows AA.

3 hands stand out in my mind. Two of them involved chasing a fish to a higher level then I was used to.

First one was early in my career. Played a horrible player heads up at $.5/1 limit and smoked him. He then sat at an empty 3/6 table so I sat with him with like 1/5 of my bankroll on the table. Right away I got AA and we capped pre. Flop was rainbow AhQx6x and we capped flop. And capped turn after 3 of hearts hit. River was a blank heart and I just called his raise and he had J2 of hearts. Hurt like hell and set my bankroll back a bit. Oh well!
----------------
A year or two later I was playing $100 buyin NL when a fish spewed many buyins then left and sat at a $600 buyin NL table. I decided to follow since I was technically rolled for it but it was way higher than I had ever played but you know that type of fish, he was just THAT bad you couldn't not play. Long story short I get allin with KJ vs KT on Kxx flop and the river is a T. GG me for $1000+ pot, by far largest I had lost at that point. Oh well!
-------------------------------

Heads up final two in a big $20 buyin MTT, I had small chip lead. I raise T7s on button, guy reraises me and I call. TT3 flop, we get allin and he has T8 and the kicker holds. Not really a beat or anything, but I thought for sure I was gonna win that tourney on that hand and I'll never forget the feeling from extreme joy to throwing up in my mouth when he turned his hand over. Oh well!
------------------------

The tourney that changed my life was when I entered a $1 stud tourney when I was down to $6 in my account and won it for $82. I had made up my mind that if I went broke from my original $50 deposit I'd never put any more money online, and I came damn close to getting broke. Never looked back after winning that tourney though. Wee!

45> KQ on J67Q board HU in FTP $163 almost a year ago. 8k difference between first and second. If I win that things may be pretty different, but maybe not.

this weekend... stepped my way up to step 6 in the WSOP steps on stars... with 7 left, I'm in BB, UTG raises to 3x BB, at 100/200 level, I have 1500 chips left and have 99, I push, he calls and shows aces... /kill self

Lost AK vs AQ all in pre in the last FTOPS $1K buyin (the first one Halfrek won) with 32 left. Would have given me a top 6 stack and a chance at $334K+.

1/2 NL cash I sit down and take BB. $200.00 in front..at time was a lot {still is i guess}

Get dealt 96 off Ep limps folds to small blind completes I check.

flop 669 2 spades SB bets pot I call hping hes on flush draw limper calss.

turn brick goes check check check

river spade SB bets out like $20 ... I raise to $50 hoping guy behind caught as well

Limper raises to $100 SB calls I push {of course} guy behind pushes SB calls.

SB had flush i Show 66699 for the boat last guy shows 99 for bigger boat.

Went from winning biggest pot at thast time to busted was sick for sometime.

got it in KK vs TT all in pre for a top 3 stack in the 50$ 50K a few months ago.

guy types in "folded QT"

flop: xxx
turn: x
river: T!

first was ~15K.. anything greater than 4th place woulda been huge for me. Was in the middle of a big downswing, and really needed it.. haha.

also lost a huge race with AK vs a guy who wouldnt fold his deuces in an 80bb all in preflop pot with 100 left in the Sunday Mill. coulda been big!

99<AK for monster stack at foxwoods 5k ft
AT<KQ with 30 left in bellagio 15k

two that stick out in mind. can think of a few other borderline ones.

2 hands this past sunday.

first one w/63 left in the 2nd chance. for a top 5 stack -
QQ in MP, UTG raises to 6k, blinds 1k/2k. we're both deep so i flat. flop QT6, 2 diamonds. he bets out 8k, i raise to 20k, he shoves, i call, he shows Ad8d. River diamond. would have put me in great shape.

second one was w/48 left in the 750k. also for a top 5 stack -
KQ in BB, folds around to SB who makes it 24k @ 4k/8k. again, we're both deep, and i have him covered by about 90k (me 230k, him 140k). flop K78, 2 hearts. he bets 40k, i shove all in and he calls w/3h5h. obv river heart.

love reliving those hands.

Ahh the first 1k pot you ever won, only too look back at it and realize how big of a newb you were...even though I got in good.

I lost AK to AK with 40 (don't know exact but very close) left in the warmup a few months back, that one sucked but wasn't really life changing by any means.
Life changing one that made me shape up and really taught me a lesson:

I sat down with my whole roll just over $4900 probably 2 years ago on full tilt at a 25/50 table. I thought i was good at this time but definately was not. It took me 6 or 7 months to grind that roll up. I was dealt AA in the bb and it went raise UTG, fold, fold, fold, I reraise and he calls. Flop came K X X. I checked, he raised, I pushed, and he called and flipped over AK. You guessed it, a K hit the river. GG me. I needed that at the time though.

I have lost flips that would put me in the top 3 at the final table of the 750k (when it was 500ki I think) and the mulligan. I have lost flips on the final table bubble essentially of the mulligan twice I think. I also final table bubbled in like 12th in the brawl.

I also remember like 3 years ago beating AA with QQ 2nd vs 1st in chips with 3 people left in the 3r before I went on to win it for my biggest score ever at the time though, so its all relative. Just wish I found the luck in the bigger tournaments haha

damn than sucks, did they end up bumping u up a payspot?

66 Vs KJ for 1.9M pot
