Another STT win

I played 2 laddies super deep stack stts today. The less said about the first the better as I finished 9th and donked off my chips appalingly tilting after losing about 1.5k to a rivered flush. I completely overplayed KQ on a QT8 (2 spades) board, I bet 500 and was raised. The alarm bells should have rung but I re-raised all in and had to laugh as he flipped over AA and I'm dead to another K or Q. No help and I'm gone! I was annoyed as I try really hard not to tilt and throw away chips so i should just consign this game to the bin and make sure that I don't do it again lol!

Anyway I played another game which was slightly more successful as I managed to win it. It was a long long game, 2 hrs 15 mins and 261 hands! It was a good game too and and not full of muppets going all in at the start like yesterday!

I had no cards at all till level 3 when I flat called 100 with 88. I then folded to the short stacks 900 all in which was a good fold as he hit 2 pair with AQ to double up. Level 3 I raised with QQ to 650 and had 1 caller. The A54 flop looked dangerous and it was checked all the way with a T and then a river 9 and I won 1.5k. Level 4 and I bet 200 with 77 under the gun and get 2 callers. The flop is 743 and I get i caller to my 350 bet. The turn us a Q and all fold to my bet of 650 and I win 1.9k .

I get very lucky in this hand but it makes a nice change! Level 6 and I look down at KK in the small blind. I re-raise to 2.6k and the button re-raises me all in. I call as I'm only beat by AA but oooops he has AA! The board comes KJ5Q3 and I hit my 2 outer and double up to 15.6k and am now the chip leader. No one ever said you dont need a bit of luck to win tourneys!

I win a couple more pots when I get AK twice in a row and all fold to my pre-flop raises. Level 7 and I win 3k with AT after I hit top pair on the flop and 88 calls my bets all the way to the river.

We get down to the last 4 and there was one player sitting out as he'd gone to pick his wife up from work lol! The player to my right was raising every hand to steal and I was getting pissed off as I was getting junk but I had 14k and so waited for a hand to get paid off with when I played back at him. It came surprisingly when I picked up K2h in the big blind and called a 600 bet. The QJ7 (2h) flop brought me the second nut flush draw and I called his 400 bet. The turn was the Jd and he checked giving me a free card which was a mistake as the river was the 3h and I called his 900 bet and won 5.4k with a better flush.

Not content with that hand I won a huge pot when I flopped a full house against the same player who continued to try and steal every single hand......see below.....soooooooo sweet!

We are now heads up and I'm the chip leader but it does go even once as he is quite aggressive and I think the HU curse I seem to be under is gonna strike. I therefore make a conscious decision to be more aggresive when I have the button, raising and re-raising with any A or K. The 42nd and last hand I had a 27-22k chip lead....

So for once I had a bit of luck heads up to hit the better 2 pair on the river but maybe he shouldn't have checked the turn as I may have folded to a decent bet even though I had just hit bottom pair and had no draw after he has called my continuation bet on the flop!

I also played in the laddies $500 freeroll and came 109th /4284for $0.73 lol


The bankroll now stands at $56.59
