With blinds 3k/6k I only had bit over 30 bbs and I was one of the shorter stacks. The final started with some real action. Both of the smallest stacks bearbeer and Gabi14 went out right at the start (to palmao & SneeuwUil) closely followed by jklaen and palmao (to and Melarvinzz and Degenerate1). Blinds also raised to 4K/8k level with 1k ante and I was the smallest stack with 200k, all of the others having more than 300k. This meant I had to start being aggressive real fast if I wanted to have a chance at the top money. I went all in with 36s, KQ, 77, 44 and A7 in the next 12 hands taking the blinds every time, getting my stack up to 245k. Then being so active I got some action for my AA when mac-poker reraised me to 64k, I went all in 220k but to my surprise he folded. Saw one flop from the BB and stole the pot, up to 350k.
Lost 100k back when Ronaldinho bluffed me in a big pot. I just had the feeling my hand was good but somehow talked myself into folding, I m really mad at myself I folded this. Called a raise with KQ from BB, flop Q J 4, called 27k. Turn A, called 55k but folded when he bet 135k on the river. The Ace was a perfect bluff card for him, but I knew that and I was really close to calling him down.
Was back to the pushing game, All in with 88, A5s, Q8s, A8s Q10 taking all down without resistance, up to 272k.
The next couple of hands it was time for some more busts, Degenerate1 went down at place 6 to Ronaldinho. I guess he lived up to his name, he was with massive 900k lead when 8 left, quite a meltdown. Then mac-poker had to admit SneeuwUils JJ was better than his sixes. Down to 4. I m rising nicely on the payscale but in deep trouble with the smallest stack (272k, 548k,895k and 1104k)
Went all in with A7s and Q10, got blinds. Normal raise with A7, got called, flop 7 2 5, conbet and got the pot. Melar raises my BB from SB, I push 89 he folds. Melar raises from button, I make a standard reraise (not all in) with 89 and he folds again. These 4 hands happened in a row, up to 340k. Decided to take it easy couple of hands so everybody wouldnt think of me as uber maniac. Got a walk and folded for one orbit. Then it was time to be the pain in the ass for Melar again, went all in against his raise with AJ, again he folded.
Blinds up to 6K/12k, I go all in against SneeuwUils raise with 88. He folds. My stack 420k, others 385, 982 and 1029k. I push with 55. Melar raises my BB again, I push with A3. He folds like a good boy again. SneeuwUil raises, I push 33, he folds. A couple of normal raises and I get the blinds.
Next time Melar just called from the SB and we saw a flop 4 J 7r which was beautifull since I had J7. I checked behind to trap and it works like charm as turn comes a Q. He bets, I raise he pushes with his flushdraw that had opened. 3 handed, 792k for me and 621, 1400k for snee & Ronald. I d come from small stack to be in the hunt for win.
Lost 500k pot. I raise button with Q8 snee calls from BB. Flop K 10 2 all spades, I have Q of spades. I con bet he raises. I figure we are too deep for me to push this but that his raise gives me good odds. Turn pairs my Q so I figure I got 4 extra outs and call his bet. In retrospect I think this was a mistake, I def would have folded without the Q.
Meanwhile Ronaldinho was getting the best of Snee who was down to 280k, Ronald almost to 2M, me 600k. Blinds staggering 7K/14k. Ronald raised on the button and I find AQ on BB so I decide to push. 43bb is just slightly much for this push maybe but I had been in the push mode so much this final table AQ looked like the nuts. It certainly wasnt against Ronalds AK and I was busted. Still I won 10 152$ for 3rd, cant be too disappointed since I was a shortstack most of the way on the Final Table.
I found it enlightening to look through this hand history, I dont do that so much, I guess I m a bit lazy and just want to play. But everyone should do that sometime, including me. I def found some "why did I do THAT?!?" moments. In the heat of the moment you cant always be so analytical so it helps alot to go back and think.
