*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to FR Vessant [Ts As]
Nikker333: raises 400 to 600
royaluck is disconnected
royaluck is connected
royaluck: folds
FR Vessant: calls 400

He's played quite tight so I'm not sure I'm ahead but I can't fold. Call and see what he does.

*** FLOP *** [9d Ah Jh]
FR Vessant: checks
Nikker333: bets 1000
FR Vessant: calls 1000

That bet was far too big. He isn't a good player but he's tight and aggressive, and if he had hit that, he would be betting for value, not trying to shut me out.

*** TURN *** [9d Ah Jh] [2d]
FR Vessant: checks
Nikker333: bets 3800 and is all-in

Hmmm. Well he could have A2, but I'm not folding.

FR Vessant: calls 1620 and is all-in
Uncalled bet (2180) returned to Nikker333
*** RIVER *** [9d Ah Jh 2d] [4s]
FR Vessant said, "omg"

What up FR?


*** SHOW DOWN ***
FR Vessant: shows [Ts As] (a pair of Aces)
Nikker333: shows [2s 2h] (three of a kind, Deuces)
royaluck said, "abus� !"
FR Vessant said, "you lucky reetard"

Well, that's fair.

On all my other tables, I take big stacks and run them into bigger hands. The guy who raises 25% of his hands? I shove over with AJ, he has QQ. Another guy raises, I have TT and call. We are ITM. So the flop comes Qxx and he bets out. I call. He shoves the turn and I call that too. I don't put him on a Q. I should have done though. I'm making a lot of mistakes like that at the moment. I play a lot better when I just credit them for something when they bet big, although as you can see, in the hand I've posted here, I got it right on the flop. I thought about raising though, and I think I should have done. I'd still be in the tourney now if I had.

So as I'm writing this, the guy who's abused the bubble, raising tons of hands, raises once more ITM. I push over with AT. He has AJ. Sigh.
