$5K Trump Classic

[Doylestown]

Hey Temp - Ugh! The dangers of limping the aces. If you limp them you have to try not to fall in love with them. I have to give him credit for at least 2 pair here. He reraised your reraise and you peg him as tight/solid. A non-professional will have trouble laying down even bottom 2 here. I escape now with an ample 12K and play on, you likely have an edge over much of the table and your stack is fine.

I like the tricky limp here, waiting for him to raise you. However that didn't come and this smells like two pair. I think he may have not put in another raise with a set. J2 or J9 is my best idea of his hand.

I gotta let it go.

I almost re-raised him, but I ended up folding.

The guy told me the next day that he had A9. He re-re-raised me with middle pair. Based on what I had seen him do up to that point that was a great play. He used his image very well and got me to lay down the better hand. He thought I was making a move on him and he was playing back at me. I should have realized that my image was still rather loose with him.

All in all it was a fun tournament. I made the final table, but missed the big payouts at the top.

I seriously think he lied to you or he sucks, whats your range on that 3bet?

And if he was raising you most of the time you limped then why did he let you limp in when he had A9? I would think that it's an easy raise for him to make. I'm with Roman, he lied and flopped two pair on you.

I don't think it's unlikely that he told the truth really. People sometimes go nuts in blind v. blind situations. There's no way villain is putting Temp on as strong a hand as he had.

I played with Barry at the same table for about 18 hours in this tournament. He busted out just befoere the final table. The day before he told me he had J9 and that I had made a good laydown. During a break at the final table he approached me and confessed to having A9. He essentially did not believe that I had anything.

He realized he made a mistake telling you he had 2 pair, so he lied and said A9 so the next time he 3-bets you you'll call with an overpair.

Maybe. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
