This is hand for hand pretty much all of the hands I was involved in during the 70k GTD on stars which began on Nov. 2. I was very happy with my play in this tourney and choose to go through each hand and post them in my blog. The more I play poker the more I realize that the thrill of final tables in big tourneys is definitely my favourite part of any tourney.

This was my first big hand on the 7th hand of the game. Limped pots are usually so easy to play, I still do not understand why people limp pretty much in any scenario. I wasn’t sure the over 4 bet was a good play but it worked out and got such a loose call.

This was my next big hand where my opponent just completely misplays their hand. I probably don’t fold here anyway but wow…30 on the turn? Nice bet.

This guy basically didn’t want his chips. I don’t know how else to explain it. I flatted the river because I couldn’t figure out what I beat that called my re-raise.

I was happy with how I played this hand as I almost always 3 barrel in this spot but I figured the villain would fold about as many times as my A high would be good.

This is truly where the fun begins. This isn’t a play I normally make because I am aware there is 0 fold equity but I decided to take a chance with a stack to see if I was possibly ahead. Turns out I got into a positive spot and won the race.

Poker seems really easy when you get aces a lot until they get cracked and then it sucks. Seriously though there is nothing I can do about these spots except move on.

This was such a significant hand for me. Over the last 3-4 months I have noticed that one of the evolutions in the game is the limping in early and then betting any flop in position. On the flop and turn based on this player I am certain I have the best hand. On the river, his line makes absolutely no sense. If he had a monster, why would he min bet twice then bet huge? Most players never take this line, at this point I have to think of the value of my hand and really all I beat is bluff but really I cannot think of what else the villain can have here. I love this hand and this river call even though it is no 5 bet, call with KJ high.

For some reason this player loved to play hands against me. Sometimes this just ends up that way. I really wanted to 4 bet on the turn here because I was sure the villain was bluffing but really I had nothing, with no outs if he called. I decided to just leave the chips in the middle and move on.

This was a really loose call but I felt based on his range and the cost to call, I really had. I called quick so I didn’t talk myself out of it. GG Robert.

This hand is a bit of a mess but I was basically giving up on after the flop. I am still not sure why I did not bet the river but I kind of felt beat even though I couldn’t fold on the river and I let the weaker hand check through.

This was another strange hand. The only hands that I thought I could beat here were A3 or A4 and were the only logical hands that can be played this way but since I played the hand with the villain with AT vs 77 and he did not shove, I really could not figure out how I could be good in this spot unless he had A3,A4 air or a busted flush draw. I really wanted to call but figured I was doing so well chipping up in uncontested pots that I was better off folding here.

The only hand I have a chance against here is AK and I won a huge race. I have not been racing well deep in quite some time but this one felt great.

This was another hand were I end up in the right spot at the right time. This was the last big hand I played and the chop discussion with 4 players left ensued. For a whole bunch of reasons I settled for a 4 way chop where 3 of us took around 9.1k and one player took 7.2k. First paid just over 12k but I was very happy with this chop as it represented one of my biggest wins ever. I was very happy with how I played in this tourney and things seemed to just fall into place.
I felt strongly that I was going to go deep in this tourney even after I lost the AA vs 99 hand and I still believe that if you feel believe you will run well, you will.
