bump, tourney at 3pm

we should just take turns all year coming in 1st and 2nd

yeah, i was going to offer a chop after that hand

blows

So what's your analysis of the little tourney TRT?

6 handed is a lot of luck and I got lucky for sure- what was with your pre flop all ins when your M was above 20?

Just tried to open your calling range so when I actually got a big hand you'd call me with a wide range of hands. I just didn't get any hands heads up

while an admirable attempt, you were screwed if I woke up with a big enough hand or Duane decided to gamble on a 60/40 situation like he usually does- was surprised how tight he was on the bubble. Honestly, only 3 handed you could have accomplished the same thing with the stacks so big with standard raises and less risk.

AND the other downfall to opening up your opponent's range too early is that they start calling you when it's the most important time to steal and hope you dont even get called preflop when the blinds hurt.

I wasn't looking at stealing preflop, I was looking at the betting that would ensue the entire hand. You should be flattered I played you like that. I let everyone else bet into me every hand because I felt I could outplay them and have better holdings when they called me(which I always did).

You definitely threw me off heads up at first. I was cold decked at the beginning and you were slowly erasing my chip lead and making me anxious. Then to make matters worse, you suck out on me with your runner runner straight and all but put me away if not for me winning a few races. Just goes to show how much luck there is in heads up play.

AK 5 times in 10 hands = trt 3-handed

ANd I was going to chop after our last hand, but I got knocked out. I just couldn't imagine a hand you called with that would've hit that board.

seke was too good to hang out with us. We were holed up like witnesses awaiting a trial or something

sorry guys, i was up at Lehigh for an MBA class...it was all day friday and saturday.

I opened up my range as we agreed to chop if we got to the next round in 5 minutes. Since you just raised instead of going all in, I figured I'd take a flop and bail if I didnt hit, knowing that youd shove if you missed. (my plan worked 8) )

Well, that's why I won't host. It's not fair to everyone to have to go out of their way to Reading.
