Results:



I have to say I don't think I did anything wrong, but I did get terribly unlucky on three hands, and those hands aside I received basically nothing, being card dead the entire game, running so bad it was ridiculous. I shall explain them here for those who missed them.

Hand 1: Aces in the SB. I limp. It is raised, re-raised, I push all in, original called calls as does the re-raiser. I'm so far ahead it's unreal, AA vs 77 vs A9o, flop is a blank for everyone. The turn is a 7. To win I would need the case Ace and of course it didn't come. So that's me out on one table.

Hand 2: Kings in the BB. I limp. Once again it is raised, re-raised, and I push my stack in. I cannot believe my luck when I see what I'm up against, JJ and JQo. Can't remember the flop or turn, but the river is a King giving the guy with JQ a straight. Gone from two tables in five minutes.

Hand 3: This took the piss. I raise A9 in the SB. BB calls my raise and the flop is 889. No way is he on an 8 so I push and should comfortably take the pot. He calls with 22. River is a two. As I said on MSN, I'm like a 10:1 favourite in that situation and the guy hits a miracle two-outer. After the turn I am a 95% favourite to take the hand. It's like the guy actually wants to GIVE me his chips.

However, well played to Rex and Sykes in particular. If my hands had actually held up I would have been up there too, no doubt.

We should definitely play again for sure.

Next time it'll have my full concetration. I'll win all four.

[Psychic]

Pfft, even I couldn't do that...

[Drumstick]

Even Sykes couldn't do that and he was running like strawberry floating God.

Just doing the maths, had my first two hands held up I'd have been on a minimum of 25 points, and would have been in good stead for the rest of the Matrix. Had my A9 held up I'd have probably had second at worst on that table.

Would have comfortably finished second IMO.

I resent the fact that just because I had Aces four times, Kings twice and Queens at least once, won the majority of the races I was in and let the idiots take out out most of you lot, you believe I ran good.

I'm playing on Stars now if any of you fancy an high class lesson on folding in the early stages.

I didn't see that earlier.

I'm not sigging myself!

I got one or two good hands, the rest was meh. Only one hand that I found interesting was PS raising my BB from the SB. I 3bet to resteal prepared to call all in with KQs. He all in's 33. I thought it was quite odd play tbh. From your position you can expect flip at best and more often than not 4/1 for like 1/3 of your stack. Quite a lot of equity to lose. =\

Well done for winning though, loads of matrix points! "Eighthours" was funny but not as mad as surveyor or whatever. What a twat.

See you next Sunday

[Psychic]

Do you have the HH for that one?

[Drumstick]

surveyor or whatever. What a twat.

That was the twat who busted me twice on inferior hands!

[Slayerx]

surveyor or whatever. What a twat.

Same here I had QQ he called all in with A 8.
