You only ever see this on-line...

So as you have probably already read Fig made it to the final table. Congrats but with a bit more stamina you could of gone the whole way!

But alas getting onto my "on-line" only moment... I also entered the £5 rebuy tournament last Saturday and was doing very well, I went from the starting 500 chips to 2475 by the end of the break, this was down to some very lovely big slicks that I kept getting about 3 in the 1st half an hour. This tied in nicely with the target I was trying to hit for the FO part of the tournament (4k).

Ok so I meet Fig at the break and I'm above the average stack count. Nice.

Moving on to after the break I sat back at the table and kept my stack pretty even until I tried to bluff one guy off a hand, needless to say it didn't work and it ruined my table reputation.

I was down to about 1k in chips blinds were in the region of 150/300 or there abouts and I figured that the next ace I see I'm going all in.

So about 2 hands later I look down and see that ace, "wey hey" I was just hoping not to see a 2 or a 3 with it. Something / anything high 7 or above!! I sneak a peak at the next card and wham bam thank you dealer it's another ace.

So I'm very happy BUT.... this is how the hand played out.

S/b / BB / UTG raised to 1500 all folded round to me I move all in for about 900-1.2k can't remember the exact about. All folded to the BB who called.

So now i'm thinking what the hell can these to have to be rasing to 1500 then CALLING in the BB of all places?!?!?!?

Any the flop bought 5d 7d 8h

BB: Check
UTG: 1500
BB: Call

5c

BB: Check
UTG: 1500
BB: Call

2s

BB: Check
UTG: 1000
BB: All in (Pushes in about 4cm high stack of reds - 500's)
UTG: Call

Now I'm thinking what the hell they can't have a straight can they? Not with a pre-flop call of 1500 even in the BB to me that is a lot to call hoping for a mid range flop.

BB turns over JJ
UTG turns over AA

Then I stare in dis-belief. And flip my cards over (AA) the table erupts! My lovely "triple" up pot was cruely SLASHED in half the BB (JJ) walked away rejected from the table and the UTG and I looked at each other and just smiled thinking what the hell just happened.

Again something that you would only ever see on-line.

Never mind bruv, the £5 i gave you should make up for it ;)

Dirty hand, although i think you need a lucky twix like mine.

Once at the £5 happy hour I was all-in pre-flop with tens, another guy re-raised all in and a woman called (she had more chips than both of us).

I flipped over my tens, he flipped over his aces, and she flipped over her tens. Nasty! No-win situation!
