BigFooty Poker - 21st, 22nd, 23rd April

[DockersMad]

I went out just after you..

I think I had a Barry Hall style "mind explosion".

I had 2 but luckily I had enough chips to survive the first.

There wasn't the upside that hitting an Eagles player would provide.

YOTC, some friends said hi. Check your notes.

Slow or what?

I already replied in kind

 

[ExMrBlonde]

OUCH !!!!

The poker gods (software) punishing me for forgetting about the tourney, and joining 90 minutes late with 12 people left and 840 chips.. 5 double ups in about 10 hands sees me in contention, then this...

 

[DockersMad]

OUCH !!!!

Ouch indeed.

Don't you wish you had pushed harder pre-flop?

Should have raised of course, however chraz88 would have called, and hand would have played the same on the flop.

 

[YOTC]

I got the worse run of cards at that final table.

 

[jazz]

Oh well - third is better than nothing.

Now I've got entry funds for some more BF tourneys I guess.

 

[ExMrBlonde]

Believe it or not.. I kind of panicked when I saw AA, by then, I had already called instinctively.
Feel a bit better about the fact that no matter what I did (except fold), I was screwed.

Still - gotta learn to play those damned A's

 

[YOTC]

Congrats Tooley. Kept on hitting those hands and paid off.

Great 2nd Ricketts.

I don't think 5th was justice for my play today. I had a read on just about everyone until the final 7.

 

[jazz]

Good one Tooley. Down around 1500 chips and massively short stacked at one stage.

 

[CrippsonBlue]

Sorry MrBlonde. After getting down to $600 in chips, I had an amazing run of luck with my hands - that included.

Managed to get it back to 20,000+ Went all in against Tooley, and would have been equal with him, unless either the 7 or 9 came up on the River...it was the 7.

 

[THE EQUALIZER]

Just call me 'the bubbler'.

I did the best with what I was dealt.

I kept the winner under pressure early, but he got me in the end.

Congratulations to those that cashed.

As Maxwell Smart would say 'missed it by that much'.

See you soon.

Tooley took out pretty much the whole final table so i was severely shortstacked for the battle, took a stand with this hand, nearly got there.
Ah well, good fun was had.

I took my stand too early I think. Could have played for second, but oh well, went for the equalizer and it didnt pay off.

EDIT: Nice comeback by the way. Sat on around 4,000 chips on the first table for quite a while, and then all of a sudden made a stong run to be leading the table.

I played some small cash games before the tournament and every bad beat I had involved me holding one or more aces.

One especially was all-in on the river, I held AA and the only danger was a possible straight but the guy had to have called my pre-flop raise and increasing bets with 3 5, not possible I thought so I called. Did he have it? You bet.

I think I read on one of these threads a tip not to slow play aces. Good advice.

I read that too... Do you think I listened ?!?!?

Congrats winners - I started late and finished early QQ against AA

Will get you next time

 

[Tooleybuc2]

Thanks gentlemen - my first win on BigFooty poker! The link up between BigFooty and Hansa Poker works very well for us. I have tried the Hansa "Sit n Goes" and they are good tourneys too. Bring on the next Big Footy tourney! Tooly.

 

[jefffff34]

Bloody hell, I tried to take you out very early on with three queens, and I knew the jack on the turn gave you the straight, but I pushed for it anyway.

No more tournaments when there is soccer on, please! I need more concentration!

Thats why I didnt play

Or you can do what I did and join the tourny AFTER the soccer. I forgot about it and joined with 12 runners and 800 odd chips.
