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

[Joshua]

I went out in 33rd. I can't blame cold cards. What I can blame is that I can hardly even spell no-limit. I'm currently writing a book on how to overplay QQ.

I am the short stack at the table with aroun T1700 giove or take. The blinds are $75/150. I limp UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG+1, Humbert H. reliably raises me about 750, it gets folded back to and I re4-raise all in. Humbert H. had a pair of Jacks which held up. At that point I was indifferent to his pre-flop call as it looked to be my best chance in a while to try to double through which I needed to do quickly to stay alive. In the early rounds I had some monster hands that were getting no action even though I was not trying to overbet the pot. Still, every time I raised pre-flop with my power hands, AA, QQ, AQs, i just won the blinds. Good luck to everyone who is left. Let's sweat our fellow 2+2ers and see if we can win this thing. Thank you bdk3clash for setting this up. By the way, whatever the final results, we would totally kill these guys in limit.

Aces cracked by Bob T's KQ, all in before the flop. I thought we were team mates! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I tried to play overagressive...made a stupid play ( overbet the pot pf with KQo, blinds set me all-in, I called ?!)... and got looked up. Though I don't know why Tosh defended his blinds against me since we're on the same team. I guess it's better he has em. Sorry SS. Good luck.

I had trouble figuring out who was who's team. We should have certainly had some sort of collusion strategy.

To clarify for any lurking ITHers, he's kidding. I think.

I am happy with my finish today. 10th from someone who doesn't know how to play NL. Highlight of the day for me..

1st hand I get TT in the CO and the flop come JTx I go all in and QQ calls. I double up and was chip leader for about ten seconds til the next hand I get 99 and call off a bunch of chips. What a great time [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Nice job Clash!!

i thought this was pretty cruel, the way Humbert toyed with trnguyen70 before side-lining him:

Congratulations Tosh. You made us all proud.

Tosh takes it down. Scores are being calculated as we speak. 3 of the top 4 finishes were 2+2ers, including a 1-2 sweep.
