25/50
I have about 3,800 when this happens. I have JJ. The big fish at the table min raises to 100 in MP and then the button makes it 400. I have seen this guy squeeze preflop already once and he was playing pretty aggressive so i thought i had the best hand and reraised to 1125. He then went allin for 2,150 more. I thought the guy would reraise less than with KK or AA against the fish so i put him on AK and made the marginal call. He shows KK. I shouldnt be playing allin pots with jacks in the first and second level. I should have just called the 400 and lead at the flop or fold.1500nl shorthanded
25/50
I start off at a juicy table with jennifer tilly. I pick off a couple of bluffs and then i bluff it all back by reraising the button with 4-5s. He raised to 200 and he looked weak so i reraised to 575. he called and i bet 650 on a k-q-7 rainbow flop. he went allin for like 1500 more. i have no idea what this guy had.
I unforunately get moved from that juicy table to issac haxton's table. I have alot of respect for his game. Issac was raising almost everytime it was folded to him. He was in the cutoff when i was in the big blind so i knew i was in for a big challenge. I decided to just play tight and use it to my advantage.
Issac raises to 150 in the cuttoff and the sb calls i decide to call with q-8o. it comes k-q-q and the sb leads for 200 i called it pretty fast/weakly to make it look like i dont have a queen. Issac then raises to 1k the small blind folds i think about it for a little bit and call since im pretty confident issac is bluffing. turn comes a 9 i check he gives up, T on river check-check. My fast call won me a bigger pot i really liked how i played it. He outplayed me a few times im pretty sure and got most of those chips back from me. I reraise him once with 6-8o since i had a tight image and succeeded.
50/100
Issac gets busted on a cooler hand so im happy. So im at 4700 now, the new chipleader limps utg i limp on button with 44. flop comes j-4-8 (2 hearts) chipleader bets 350 i raise to 850. he
thinks about putting me allin/reraising but ends up flat calling. turn is the K of hearts check-check. river is a 3 non-heart he bets 1k i decide to pay off. He had q-j of hearts.

i get moved to a new table which was playing really soft. There was this native american who was making these huge overbets on flops and raising 5-6x the blind preflop. Everytime he saw weakness preflop he was raising. I was waiting to trap him for all my chips. I was grinding a 20bb stack in about every one of these levels. There was no big pots just a bunch of small pots. I was pretty card dead, I jammed a couple of times with a-q and a-j when i thought they were the best hand.
200/400 ante 50
There was 1400 or so players in this event and they will done to 170-175 players when this happened 126 get paid. The crazy native american limps in sb i check in bb with q-8o. I started
the hand with 8,200 and he had 4,500 (he had about 14k a couple hands ago but he donked a bunch off). Flop comes a-k-k and he instantly shoved allin. i knew what was going thru his head he knew i would probably put him allin or raise preflop with an ace so he thinks i cant call. But i call him pretty quickly and go with my instincts. he has j-2 of diamonds and hits running diamonds, great hand squanto.
I now have 3,600 and get moved to a new table immediately after that last hand. i notice joe awada has a monster stack. i move in on my 2nd hand with a-6s and pick up blinds. About an orbit later im in sb joe raises to 900 on button i shove in with a-9 for 4000 total and he called a-8s. i lose to diamond flush again and miss the money by about 40 players. I feel like i played perfect and dont regret any decision i made just ran bad in all of the big pots i played.

yeah man sounds like you are playing some very solid poker. Couple questions - in that first event when you had JJ - did the other guy end up having the AK like you thought?
In the hand with haxton where you paid off the 1k river bet with your q8 what did he have?
Wolf, based on your comments I can only assume MasterJ edited and reposted this.
Nice call with the Queen high.
