one thing though...

One hand that may have been crucial for my later results (since it kept a player in the game that likely would’ve been eliminated, changing the flow of the cards).

It's "tha' truth!", it was rigged against me!

Eh, I won the flip with my K/Q against the pocket 9's, which would've severely short-stacked me had I lost, and sent a guy packing. Guess it's only correct variance that my Queens fall to the A/K. Those Queens were killer though, seeing Mr. SlowPlay limp with Queens out of position twice and catch me once with them. Then watching a guy at my final table lose with Q/Q against A/8 sooted on the river and then my Queens getting killed too.

Oh yeah, I didn't see Mr. Slowplay in the final four tables, so his constant slowplaying probably cost him when someone saw a cheap flop and outdrew him.

And that 2+2 kid two to my left was in the BB, folded to me on the button with J/9 offsuit and I pushed. Folded to him and he goes into the tank and thinks for quite awhile before folding. I say to him "you have two paint cards?" and he replies "I had an ace". I respond "I had an Ace!"

Then I say "guess your kicker wasn't so strong?". And his reply was that he felt he could wait for a better spot to get his money in. "Fold equity?" I say, and he replies "exactly". Thank god for thinking players, I could've been in trouble that hand, or outdrew him. I certainly didn't want the call. Also stole from them with my 10/7 suited earlier at the table.

Some really great opportunities to steal when there's 3-4K in the pot pre-flop and it represents 1/3rd to 1/2 of each players stack!

i was just talking about your comment.. i mean come on. if you had waited one more second before folding the previous hand, the cards would be different too.

If I had just scratched myself one more time, it all coulda been different. Nah, I'm happy to get all my money in as a 57% favorite, after that it's up to the variance to make things happen.

I'm hoping to go back to multi-tabling Omaha hi/lo cash games on party in the near future.

And a hand that wouldn't've been won otherwise is won by a man who stayed longer than he would've and he otherwise would've impregnated his wife that night and that child would grow up to save the world... instead, he stayed longer at the table and died in an accident he would've otherwise avoided.
