I did it ... sorta

I said it was coming, and it sorta came. I played a 30$ +3$ at 5am after work on Sunday night and right from the start, i knew it was going to be a good tournament. I finished 3rd for 1235$.

I started off playing pretty tight. Didn't play a hand for the first rotation and raised the previous hand with AJ suited and folded after a couple re raises behind me.

I knew that i was either in a coin flip or better and i'm not affraid to gamble with coin flips. I really saw him doing that with an underpair ... that whats i thought he had ... but i was wrong ... lol

Not too long after, i made this call which i really had a good feeling of what theses guys had in this hand. When the BB bet the turn, i really thought he had a flush heart flush draw and it made sense to me that the other player was calling with maybe a spade draw. When the BB bet the river, i knew the draws missed and if the SB had a busted Nut spade draw, he can't call if he has a bigger kicker. Turns out i was wrong again ... LOL, but i did have the best hand. I would have liked him to have Q 10 of hearts .. but i still won the pot. Still happy.

***** This is probably my favorite hand of the tournament. For once my read was right.

The call shove to the bet, i thought he had exactly 2 overs with the nut flush draw. It was 2000 to call with 4400 in the pot, so i called and my pair held.
Sick hold

I guess thoses are the only hands that i saved. Theres a bunch of other ones and i was really happy with my game. I'm feeling like its really coming around. That cash will keep me going for a while now and hopefully the really big cash is coming soon.

I also wanted to post this hand from a HU i played ... just for you guys.
