The Big Win

Tired, been playing for 8-9 straight hours...ugh!

just thought to post before i rest. Good night anyway, in fact, excellent. I entered a $3.30 re buy tourney for $25k guarantee. Played extremely aggressive during the re buy period and has two re buy twice before gaining a 14k stack after one add on as well, from here on it just got better and better. I kept increasing through the fish, and played some excellent poker.

It was quite a long way into the tournament and i am a big stack, i get JQd on the BB and there are a few limper's. I just check and check the flop of 5-3-J, utg bets, and one caller, then i raise, utg calls and the other folds. turn is a 4 and i bet out and just called from utg. I'm probably behind here but i go for another bet on the river which is a 7 and gives four for the straight, i then get raised but he leaves 6k of his stack behind him with 50-60k in the pot, i think 'can i get him to fold?' and 'is that 6k in case i raise and he has something to play with?' the bet seems weak so i push, and he thinks but eventually folds, and i show and said u had me, he said yes =D. good bluffing! One pot was so cold. threes is early raiser and an all in after, i have QQ on the BB and call, the early raiser re raises and Ive committed enough to call his all in, its QQ vs KK vs 1010 with no help and my stack is very low. It only takes a few hands before i flop the nuts and double through and keep increasing again.

I did something really stupid, i had about a 130k stack and player to my right pushes, and I'm playing around and clicking the mouse lol (don't ask) and accidental call with K8, he turns AK and i lose the pot lol.

its late on in the tournament and i have 89suited and raise, and the chip leader calls, the flop comes 9 high and i bet and get raised, i push and he calls with KK, the board comes runner runner to give me a flush and i double through.

two tables left and i have over 1mil in chips and im up against another big stack who raises, i just call with KK and the flop comes low. He bets out and i raised. as i expected he pushes. I put him on AA or QQ. Sick if he AA and i call, he turns QQ and he gets knocked out, thats unlucky for him hehe

It takes a while but i continue to pay well and reach the final table. Its here where i look good for the 3rd above finish for over $2k, very excited yet very weary! I knock some guy out when my QQ is up against his 44.

I manage to get heads up with a short stack and it very aggressive play from him and i finally raise with K7, i get re raised and push for not much more, its my K7 vs A4 and no help and I'm out in 2nd place for $3.1k

$12 in total spent, winnings of $3.1k, best result by far! i thoroughly enjoyed it and i am very pleased.
