Ha! That was from a 6 max table with 5 players. Villain shows [ 8h, 6h, Js, Th ] a pair of nines. Hero shows [ Ah, Kh, As, Ac ] two pairs, aces and nines. [/ QUOTE ] Ahh the joys of 6max [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

"Zee's work was responsible for this"
I find that hard to believe. I'm guessing there's a lot more to it then that. |

Anytime you win a tourney, there are a lot of things that went perfectly. I've posted about this a lot back then, so I just wanted to stick to the subject. But yeah, every time Max Stern (to my right at our first table) raised me, he had aces. Every time, he flopped a set. Every time, I had the nut low draw so I stayed with him. Every time, I ended up making a straight or a flush, and the board never paired, so I scooped. It was just a strange situation. I won in all of the right places. I got lucky, plus I played a game that I wasn't too familiar with, and gave little away, since I didn't always read my lows correctly and was nervous. Any time a player tried to get a handle on me, he failed, not because of some kind of mental gynmastics, but because I was inexperienced and no one knew who I was at that time. The structure was also fantastic. Hour levels, 3000 in chips, starting at 15/30 and moving up gradually. That is heaven for a rock like me!

It's also on my journal site. Felicia [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] www.felicialee.net |
