Ok, I knew he was good when they put me at this table and I should have listened to the voice in my head sayign don't even play with him, especially with a mediocre hand. Well, this is what i got in return. Fought my way back a little but ended up out in 35th. Still trying to improve to that final table status. Blackmetalhead, if you read this, let me tell you that I am a fan. Later

lol, burgerking owns.

and if it makes you feel better i was right behind you when lbr made a sick call with tens when i reraised him pre and flop came qj2 and i had ak. not sure how he called it but gotta give him credit.

i almost typed "man i hope you didnt' hit a set" before i pushed but i dind't and he called.

i dont know if i like taking that flop out of position with a fairly crafty opponent. After that cooler of a flop, you can't go anywhere.. post flop the hand played it's self, im just surprised the action didnt occur earlier in the hand.

what hand that raises preflop containing the bare ace of hearts checks behind the check on the flop? I think its very hard to put BMH on a bare ace of hearts here.. the hand actually plays like BMH flopped it, but its still by no means an easy just call or fold on river.

Yeah, I see that. I was kind of hoping he would think I would recognize that and therefore put me on a stronger hand than what I actually had. Probably hard for him to do with all the allin raising I had been doing to get back into the game. Time for a whopper. Hopefully I'll see you at a final table.

This was the highlight of the tourney for me. I was representing aces, I hope. Any thoughts?

damn chucksty/blackmetalhead...... is a freakin beast!!!!

you are destined to go broke there. i actually hate the way i played the hand. regardless you should raise the turn, say i do have the Ah, i only have 7 outs at that point you shouldn't mind action at all. you in fact should be trying to get all the money in as early as possible in general when you think you have the best hand, cause this game is fucked up and weird shit happens when you sit on your big hands.

Hand 1: Plz raise the turn and do NOT raise the river, ewwww.

Hand 2: That's a really bad push imo. Ax is not a hand you wana get in with against an utg raise there, even if he has been raising a lot.
