Sweet!!!
Tonight was probably as distracted as I've been whilst playing online poker. I had one window open watching and listening to the EPT's PokerStars Caribbean Adventure on EPTLive.com, and I was playing the Freerolls on Betfair and BlueSquare and I still managed to paint Julia's toes for her going away to her work's Grand Ball tomorrow night! Who says Men can't multi-task ... ?
With the conclusion of the excellent Live Broadcast from EPT and having donked off a slightly more than average stack in one hand on BlueSq with AK on a A57 board when I called an All-In of one of the chip leaders to lose to pocket 5s, I assured CELTICRIV (fellow Scottish APATer and general Neil tormentor Jim Lang) that all my concentration was now on the Betfair one. And it was ...
I felt as sharp as a tack despite feeling as if I've been ODing on Poker recently, making a load of great calls and taking the lead any time I saw a ragged board. I'm not sure how to get a Hand History up within Betfair so I'll try and replay hands as I have them in my head until I find out;
- final table with 9 left. Johnny Gibb (Divitts) raises All-In with 44 and is called by 99. He hits the miracle 4 on the river and we celebrate (tactfully of course). Next hand, the guy who's just had his 99 busted shoves in early position. Johnny shoves All-In too. SB calls too. It's KJo v Johnny's AA and BB's QQ. It's looking like Johnny is going to become one of the big stacks when the dreaded Q delivers a bout of Karma that "floors" him. UL M8, WP, GG and all that!
- with 6 left in and on the button with AKs, one of the tighter shorter stacks raises it up pre-flop. On a junk board (10 high) he pushed and I'm sure I'm good to call. He has AQ and I take it down to get to 2nd in chips.
- with 4 players left and with Q7o on BB, UTG min-raises and I get to see a cheap flop. It comes K7J. I check it to him and he bets out around 2.5xBB. I see this as weak and flat call. Turn comes 5h and I check it to him again. He checks. River card is another K and I'm now calling any bet he makes with my 7. He bets out 3/4 the pot and I have a decision. I just don't feel that he has a K or Q so I make the call. He shows AT and I take down a very worthwhile pot!
- I get to heads up with 100k in chips against 380k. I raise it up with any playable hand and get aggressive when I'm confident I have a read on TurtleTwo. With A7c I call his weak bet on the K94 flop thinking that my A high is still good and I'm likely to see the hand through even if no A or 7 appears on turn. The turn brings a low Club and I decide to check it to him again, fully intending to see the river as cheaply as possible. He bets out less than half the pot again and I'm priced in to making the call. When the last club hits the river, I'm now thinking I need to attack this pot hard hoping that he has been slow-playing a K and deliberately pricing me in on each street. My hand is well disguised here so I feel an overbet of 60k into the 52k pot should make him suspicious and curious enough to call. He does and I'm now chip leader!
- around 10 minutes later, in the final hand, I'm dealt 3d5d (I won the APAT Danish Open with 3h5c). He min-reraises (strength?), I call and the flop comes 9h7c3h. He shoves his last 95k or so in and I take only a couple of seconds to call with bottom pair - I figure he's got two overcards and needing to hit to make his hand so I call! He shows JhQh for the flush draw. No hearts come and I'm left looking at a second 'Congratulations You've Won' window in a week!
AWESOME!!!
