lucko21 won his wsop ME seat last night in the stars $650.... good job man.... glglgl @ WSOP.

$650 MTT hand......

this hand is several weeks old, it was from 1 week before i won my 2nd seat.

btw, i was a coinflip away from winning my 2nd wsop seat in this tourney... lost a flip, then almost got my chips back when KK ran into A9 both real late. if i would had won the coinflip though, i would of had like 55k in chips, practically guarenteeing my seat.... but no big deal i won my 2nd seat the following week.

anyways, i for some reason saved this hand from early in the tourney.

i really hate when guys like this open a flop in a pot i led out on preflop. i like to raise them, but obviously not always. i like to have overcards to the board if i am raising and missed. i also like to make sure the player has been playing solidly and isn't a maniac. i do not like to make the raise real big, rather it look like i want action. because of this, i rather there be no draws, or almost no draws.and probably most importantly i need to have a tight solid image.

btw, just so you guys know, i have not been doing very well in MTTs lately... my game is rusty. i thought this hand was kinda standard but could be interesting to some. i know we had a thread on +1 about these type of situations, so can make for some descent discussions.

hand VS bigjoe2003

anyways a few posts ago, i had mentioned that i had talked to bigjoe on aim. he didn't give me to much direct advice due to concerns of helping his competition, which is understandable. he mentioned i was to tight early and to predictable because i never really limped with anything but pairs, and if i played post flop it usually meant i had a big hand. basically saying i was to predictable early and was probably loosing action i was used to getting, especially when hitting sets.

i would had never ever consider playing a hand like he did here... and i imagine he is losing ev here most times. but he is obviously one of the best sng players in the world... so maybe i should mix it up a little early (adds long term ev?). still not real sure about limping utg with KQ, but maybe a step in that direction cant hurt.

back....

i got back home late last night, i probably wont be back in my normal playing mode for a few days because i have a lot of catching up to do...

i didnt post anything while i was gone, because internet was $.40 a minute, and i was drunk the whole time. bar bill was almost $2k, and i had an awesome bar tender who gave me more free drinks than i can remember.

i will prob post a few pics in the next few days.

i also still have a few blog posts ready to post from before i left.....

hope you all have been doing well...
