Sorry to hear about this, Tim.

I wrote a post already about this, but explorer decided to eat it (took me too long to write, I think).

Anyway, I got what I needed to win in a tough field like this: lucky at the right times (two pairs vs. overcards held up, and a big steal was called by a low pair which I outflopped).

My breakthrough hand:

At 100/200/25, I have KJo in the bb, and 3200 chips. Stoneii limps from the cutoff, and I read it as a weak hand. However, I am not ready to risk a lot on this hand, so I check. Flop comes AA3 rainbow, and I check, preparing to buy this pot. Stoneii bets 400, I call, thinking I will represent the slowplayed Ax. However, the turn brings a K, putting two of a suit out there. I check, then raise his 800 bet allin (he started with 3000). Surprisingly, he calls, but my KJ stays ahead of his KT. Comments?

Thanks,
Craig
