2 Hours of Hard Work

Was gonna play a $2.25 18 plys but the wait was just too long, so I played the $1.25 45 plys instead! My 1st playable hand was K10h in BB, UTG raises to 80, 2 callers then the SB re-raises to 120... so there's value in the pot and K10h [suited] looks pretty good so I call and everyone else just calls too! Flop: Qh Ac 3h. SB bets 40 with 4 callers! My hand is looking very good! Turn: Jd. SB bets 40 again, I had to raise it now to 500, UTG re-raises to 1000, magpie71 [who has been very quiet] re-raises all-in for 1190, so I might as well go all-in too for 1265 and gurken [UTG] calls! I've got the nut straight with a flush draw too... so I'm not worried! River: 5s!

After all the action, I managed to build my chip stack up to 2300 but my buddy would be very proud cos I played K10 just for him! As he always says "K10 the BEST" well... this time it is!

15 mins into the game, lost 10 plys and I've only played 1 hand! Blinds 25/50, I played AcJs, no pre-plop raise so 4 runners in. Flop: 5hAdJd, BB checks, RZIENTAK bets 150, I raised the pot to 675, KAMAGUTA calls, BB folds and back to RZIENTAK... calls! Turn: 9s, RZIENTAK checks, I went all-in 1630, KAMAGUTA calls and RZIENTAK folds. KAMAGUTA shows 89d. River: 5c! Beautiful! Busted flush draw, ship the 5510 pot this way! Which also makes me Chip Leader!

Blinds are now 50/100, they also moved the Chip Leader [yeah, i'm now 2nd] monkey5050 with 7574 to my table. I'm in the CO with QdQs, DroghyStyle raises all-in 1535, I re-raise all-in [to kick the rest out] 7385, kmart_kowboy calls all-in 1435. DroghyStyle shows KsAh and kmart_kowboy 4d4c! Board was: 7d 8d As Th Kc. It made a dint to my chip stack, I'm now down to 5850!

10 minutes of Cold Deck! Blinds 80/160, KdJd in the SB. Everyone folds, so I decided to bully the BB and raised the pot to 480, BB re-raises all-in for 975! Bad timing to bully but now I have to call. Sharkblack shows AsKc, is ahead of me unless.... I get lucky!

Which I did! I flopped a King high Flush and the 4d on the river was no help for Sharkblack! Gotta get lucky sometimes. 6485 2nd in Chips with 18 plys left!

Almost an hour of play now, 15 plys left. 250/500, KdKs in BB, no-one is in except for SB who calls, so I raised to 1500. Must seem like I'm a bully cos SB calls [with an amazing hand]. Flop: 5d4hJh, no Aces so my Kings looks good. SB checks, didn't wanna slow play incase an Ace appears so I bet 1000. SB check-raises and goes all-in for 4685, what? Well... I have to call! DroghyStyle shows 69d [nice bluff but bad timing].

A massive pot of 12370 comes my way but the best part was having The Pro as a supporter who wrote "Holla" on the chatboard when he saw 69d being shown! LOL! 90 minutes now, down to 6 plys, haven't played for a while, pretty much folded to the $$$ cos 6 places gets paid. 800/1600 with 16801, with AhQc UTG i raised the pot 5600, have 1 customer, the BB but... BB goes all-in 19193! Mmm... I really feel lucky with this hand so I call! BB - thebige263 shows 7s 7c, 2 over cards for me and I do feel lucky too!

My lucky day, I managed to river the nut Straight and knock a ply out too! 4 left with me in the lead with 34402 and 2nd only at 12100. I can just sit back n relax now! Down to 3 now, still at 800/1600; Jc6h in BB. SB calls and I check. Flop: 7d9c5h, check to the turn. Turn: 8s, which gives me a Straight to the 9, SB checks so I bet 3200. SB check-raises all-in 29114, I instant call! SB shows 69s, Oh... another split pot! Well we still need to see the River: 10h! Oops! Sorry but it just gave me the Straight to the Jack!

Heads Up now with 59204 in chips and the other with 6K! Was a very quick Heads Up game! 1000/2000, Kh9s in BB. Monkey5050 raises all-in 12296 with 9c5s, I call. Board reads: Qh Qc 6d 9d Td. I won the the $1.25 45 plys SnG with a pair of 9 King kicker! 2 hours of play now tops up $17.10 which brings our account to $306.95!
