Cracking AA, KK, QQ in a $12+1 Sit and Go (by the 25/50 level).
Yes, I had a wild ride at a recent $12+1 6-handed "Sit and Go" Tournament. Early on I crack Aces with 10Q.

Then it is Cowboys that take a fall.

Finally, a miracle card ( 1 outer) on the river cracks QQ.

That beat leads to a fast victory, as it is over at the 25/50 level. Just my second one outer in two sit and go's... As I hit the Straight Flush with a one outer in an earlier sng with this hand.

It has been exciting, to say the least.

Another one outer on the river! This one is remarkable.

Just call me bjybjy.
Wow, I was playing the $100NL tonight, following a fish I found while observing Tad awhile back. Here is my biggest score to date.
Seat 1: 1* ( $174.94 )
Seat 2: 2* ( $117.45 )
Seat 3: 3*( $100 )
Seat 4: FISH ( $160.60 )
Seat 5: 5* ( $129.95 )
Seat 6: bidzior ( $100 )
5* posts small blind [$0.50].
bidzior posts big blind [$1].
** Dealing down cards **Dealt to bidzior [ Td Tc ]
1* folds.
2* raises [$4].
3* folds.
FISH raises [$10].
5* folds.
A tough decision between reraising and calling. I was worried that since player 2 was willing to raise in front of the fish that he may hold something better than my 10s. This fish was a maniac who loves reraising preflop. I was afraid that if I reraise I may get reraised big by either player, in which it may just be a flip. I would rather try and see a flop cheaply and outplay them on the postflop. I felt my 10s were too good a hand to consider folding.
bidzior calls [$9].
2* folds.
A great result. The preflop raiser folds. I would call in this spot with any above average hand.
** Dealing Flop ** [ 3c, 5s, Kc ]
I like this flop. Only one over. I am 85% sure I am still in the lead and am fairly sure he will bet anyways. I go for the check-raise. Too scary of a flop to just check-call with the draws out there. Yes, he could be playing A4 or even 46.
bidzior checks.
Fish bets [$20].
bidzior raises [$50].
FISH calls [$30].
I probably should've reraised to 40 because both my next move lacks punch and there is the danger he folds to this bigger bet.
** Dealing Turn ** [ Qh ]
bidzior is all-In.
FISH calls [$40].
The fish is right to call for this final $40. If i had only ch-raised to $40 instead of $50 on the flop I would have $50 left over and may be able to win the pot right now. The pot would've been a little over $100 and would've been great to take down right there. Instead it is a $40 bet into a $125 pot, giving him good pot odds to call. He hesitates and calls.
** Dealing River ** [ Ac ]
I am fairly sure I am in the lead until this Ace completes the flush draw and an Ax holding. Now I figure it is 50/50. Against anyone else there would be no doubt I would be beat.
bidzior shows [ Td, Tc ] a pair of tens.
FISH shows [ 9s, 9h ] a pair of nines.
bidzior wins $202.50 from the main pot with a pair of tens.
What a feeling to see this guy turn over 9s. As it turns out I am glad he had the good odds to call on the river. I was down $40 until this hand and just kept refreshing to $100 when I would lose some chips. You have to have the maximum when playing with these donkeys. Anyways, it is big for me... I write a post about it. And its nothing to Tad. He gets a hand like this every few rotations... Someday...

Our favorite fish...
Smerfs, intentionally mispelled here in case someone outside our group is watching, is on PartyPoker this evening... and I'll be damned if he's not doing well... at STT. The first two I saw him play, he won. One a 50$ NLHE where he got hit by the deck but didn't donk off chips like normal. Second one a 10$ omaha h/l in which he pretty much dominated though I will admit I didn't watch this one real closely. He's in the process of playing two more... well wait he just busted out of the 50$ NLHE one... but he's going strong in the 10$ stud h/l STT.
Strong was maybe the wrong word, he just lost two consectuve multiway pots. heh. Doing well may be an overexaggeration too... but I'll say I'm stunned by his totally different style of play. A tournament structure clearly alters is kamikaze play.
I'm praying he hits a cash table and drops another 2k tonight.
Update: he just finished third in the stud stt and has moved into a 100$ stt. Let's hope he wins. ;p
