55r win!

0

Okay, after this I don't think anyone's gonna knock me off from the first place in the Finnish OPOY race... have fun trying though! I got 5th earlier in the iPoker 33r, ran horrible at the final table and found myself 1-tabling the PokerStars 55r at about 2AM with over 100 players left. It's been such a cursed tournament for me, I'm not sure if I've even cashed it before. Since I was monotabling so early I decided to make the best out of it. Results:





Such an epic ft with so many strong players. I think I did pretty well though, I screwed up a couple of hands for sure but on the flip side here are a couple of pretty sick plays that worked out perfectly.

1) 10 players left at this point, for once this actually worked. Everyone involved was a reg. That's obviously a dream cold 4bet spot for the SB, and the opener knows this, so it's quite likely no one actually has anything and if I get called I usually have 35% anyway. http://weaktight.com/4200166

2) This was against my buddy tollgate. He's hyper aggressive and in general it's impossible to almost ever fold two pair against him. However in this exact spot it's pretty easy to eliminate almost all worse value hands from his range, and there was almost a 0% chance this was a bluff, and he wouldn't play even a good draw this way given the icm implications. This was a really absurd fold, especially given how the hand played out, but he had flopped a straight so nice life me. Flame all you want! http://weaktight.com/4200168


Man, I heated my sauna about three hours ago, it's now 7.20 in the morning and I'm pretty sure it's gone all cold. Oh well.
