Small Stakes vs. InternetTexasHoldem.com--the hour draws nigh

[Bob T.]

That was a brutal hand. I had been playing pretty fast. Ok, just below light speed, and I thought about it, and thought that someone might try to either fold me, or take me out with just about any pair.

At the time that happened, I was shortstacked, and well out of the money, and my open raise was for about 1/4th of my chips, and I thought a short time, and thought that you might have tried harder to trap me if you had AA, or KK, and so I convinced my self that you might make that raise with JJ and below, and that I was going to be facing a coinflip, instead of the disaster that I ended up surviving.

Given that I made such bad decisions on the KQ hand, and the AJsuited hand that I went out on, I was happy to see that you won.

Good luck,
play well,

Bob T.

I just thought at the time my AK had DylanW beaten. Raise was basically sized to his stack, didn't want any strays coming in with queens. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I actually thought you had something pretty huge yourself that hand. I think you were UTG and as you say it was a significant chunk of your stack. I was a little surprised to see the KQ but you're also right in saying you were shortstacked and I was very happy to get the money in regardless of the outcome.

I did think at the time though that I had raised too much and left you a way out. If you had another 1k I definitely needed a smaller raise.

Here is the score I came up with. Looks like my scoring structure is a little different, with the same end result though.

Still Trash-Talking, Bear? Tsk Tsk.

I normally ignore such banter ... but c'mon, find some class or start sleeping with Helmuth. I'm sorry ... your final place was what?

And this, for my first 2+2 post.

This coming from a guy who attempts to limp reraise early in a NL tourney with Queens. Yep.. That's a strong hand... I want action with that.. omfg

And we didn't even have BernardDogs playing to sick on you..

And a fine post it was, welcome to the forum.

If we were limp reraising with pocket Queens, I can see how we lost.

Good luck,

Well you didn't lose Bob.. Well done. You kicked ass at the final table. I had a tough time with your agressive play. I can't tell you how many times I think I folded the better hand to you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Of course you never limp re-raised with queens though.. Geesh..

Good job..
