it was good to put some faces to names at last,
had a great weekend even if the cards were bad.
i think we finished 3rd overall in the forum challenge.
anyway here is my story,
MAIN EVENT
10k starting chips and to start with hourly blinds dropping to 40 minute blinds after 3rd level...
bit up and down to start with and lost 4k chasing a flush but got it back when the easiest guy to read was trying to bluff an ace..was sitting on table 22/23 and soon got moved as players were knocked out.
i get A/J Spades and raise 5xBB and get 1 caller,Flop is A/Q/8,i raise and he goes All-in,i cover him buy 1400 chips,i am reading that he has the Q and is trying to push me off the pot so call,he has Q/8
turn and river no help. when i ask why he called my pre-flop raise with Q/8 he replies cos it was SUITED....jeez.
so i am now short-stacked and get my hated 9/9 but with no choice i am all-in, 2 are raising and calling,,,flop comes down 9/rag/rag
they are both all-in then and each has K/K woohoo,so i am back in the game with a nice quadruple up.
i get moved again not long after and with only 3k left i have A/Q Hearts,big stack goes all-in and i am calling,he has A/10 i am very happy here for about 5 seconds when the 1st card on the flop is a 10,and with no help on the board i am out 154/226.
one consolation and i am waiting for confirmation and fingers-crossed,i may have won the WII Bowling challenge,
