HOW DID YOU GO IN THE FINALS????

[Bob B]

Well, I really enjoyed the day and my only wish was to have won my last hand before the first break. LOL

Here's how my day panned out.

To be honest I can't believe the bad run I had early with what I call, nothing cards today.

I tried the "be patient Bob it will come" attitude, and it never did.

So, I tried the "lets try creating something from nothing hand", it never did.

Then I tried the "shit I've got pocket 7 lets slow play to the flop there'll be another 7 there"!!!! It never came on the flop or the turn or the bloody river.

Then I tried raising b4 the flop on my next pair of pocket 7's and got busted after the flop with paint every where. Dammmm

Next were pocket 10's so I'll raise after the flop this time so I can scare them all away......LOL That never Happened as the board shows AAK and 3 raises b4 it even got to me. LOL

Okay, my next big chance was "let's chase the spade flush all the way to the river".

Well that left me with $400 in chips as I'm still waiting for the last spade.

$400 in chips blinds were $150/$300 and I needed a hand that's gonna give me a chance before I have to go allin on my blind.

Under the gun and I get and I go ALLIN as everyone expected for my remaining $400.

Three callers and I hit an ace on the flop. Finished with bottom straight and was feeling pretty good again with $1,600 in chips.

Just as things were starting to change and I had a good read on my table they decided to move us downstairs. Bugga!!!!

Oh well! Not long before the break and I was feeling good with myself as I had played fairly well and the cards I didn't play would not have done me any good.

I came in on the new table sitting behind the dealer when they announced the break was only a few minutes away. Whoohoooo I'm gonna make the first break.

Call comes over the speaker make this your last hand and go on a break!

Well I know you all get the same feelings as I do when they announce that message. Give me a crap hand or give me a great hand but don't give me an I'm not sure hand, LOL

Well I got the, "I'm not sure hand" . UG folds I called the SB called and BB raised $400. I thought "you rotten shit" I shoulda folded b4 now I need to see the flop so I called.

Flop came rag whoohoo! I'm looking at hitting a Royal Flush, nut flush, Ace high Straight or even 2 pair if I was desperate.

SB checks BB bets $400 I go allin hoping they both call so I can tripple up as I was so positive and thinking what if I hit my very first Royal Flush on the Grand Final Day whoooohhoooooo!!!!!!

Well shit happens and it happened to me. NO, Royal, NO, bloody Diamond, NO Jack and NO, two pairs, OMG

That was it, there was no fat lady singing just one robust old fart saying to himself....... "what were you thinking"????????

Hey it was good experience and I'll remember it for a while or at least until the next one.

[Manth]

All in all great night i did crap but............... my region prevailed.............. Go you good thing!!!!!!!!!!

Nice run down Bob and glad to see that patience gave you a bit of extra time on the felt. I guess you forgot the golden rule that the more outs you have, the less likely you are to catch one. Just sounds wrong though doesn't it?

And Manth... I think everyone heard the cheering from upstairs. Nice support.

I think it's safe to say I did better than last time

I feel as though I played a solid game all day (and night!) and I can't think of a single hand I played badly. Very satisfied this time around.

When I finally did go out I was in front preflop about 80/20 so nothing more I could do there. I was allin preflop with 99 vs 1 caller with Q9 suited and a Q came on the flop. Just unlucky.

It was a huge day, I found it to be extremely well run and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done to everyone involved.

Pete do you know who was on the final table and who won won?? I know Michael Beenham came 7th, Jessica Szpajchler was 6th who were both from Parafild Gardens CC.

Bad luck Bob... The odds were in your favor... You just got unlucky...
I came about 60th or so...

I came into the 3rd flight with 14k... not the best stack around but it was certainly enough to work with...

Well after not seeing a card for a round of the table the 2k/4k blinds had eaten me down to 8k... so I figured it was time to make a move as I was playing to win not to limp my way into the points...

I was dealt on my next big blind and figured it was time to make a move... I pushed all in and won... taking me too 18k... but I think this is where it went bad for me...

My next hand I was dealt on my small blind... everyone folded except for one caller who i got a weak read from... I put him on 56suited or something similar... I pushed all in... big blind folded... and the other guy called... he turned over ... i thought well Im still in with a bit of a chance here... until the flop came up ACE, KING, QUEEN...

The only card that could save me was a jack... and it didnt come... so that was me out...
