Another Sunday another loss

Well last weekend when it really mattered I came in 3rd place and tonight when I was just out for points I ended up taking 2nd place.
30 minute heads up battle, so it was quite fun actually.
It was up and down, here are a couple key hands.

The player I was up against loves to push all in, no matter what, so I was just waiting for my opportunity. I ended up losing a couple key hands to her when I had King 9 and she had Jack 9, a Jack came on the flop and she doubled up. I then got down to about half her stack and she moved all in, I looked down at A Q and insta call of course, she had Jack 10 and I won the hand to bring it back to even.

The final hand was....well let's just say I had to slow play to try and get all her chips and it back fired.

I am dealt KK in the small blind and just call (she has moved in almost every time when I have just called the small blind, this time she didn't), flop comes 10 9 5, rainbow which is a good flop ...she bets out 15,000 (blinds are 5,000/10,000) so I figured she had hit a piece of it, since she usually checks and gives up on the flop (every hand that went to a flop heads up I won by betting it out, most of the time I had nothing, she was a pre-flop player to say the least).
I call the 15 K and an 8 comes on the turn....thing's aren't looking good here for Kings if she had the draw, but you know big pockets are hard to give up lol she moves all in...I call and she flips over 9 8 for two pair.

So that was that, good heads up match, just to bad it didn't go my way. I got lucky at the final table cracking AK with KQ, so to be honest it was great to just have a shot at the win.

2-Outers are fun

So just got back from the Red Hot Wild Card Event...first place gets a seat into the TOC.

Very well run for an event that had 90 people show up. This tournament had the most people in it other then the TOC itself...crazy.

So I came to the final table with the chip lead at 95,000, but got card dead for pretty much the whole thing. Knocked one player out with K 9 (the best hand I had at the final table) but that was about it.

Down to 3 players, I am in the BB blinds are 6000/12,000 after the BB I have 52,000 left. The other two are big stacks. I have one of my better hands at the final table J 4 off lol

Everyone calls I check, flop is K 7 4 rainbow, SB checks, I bet out the min 12,000 to see where I am (should have bet more, first mistake) the button sits there and is playing with his chips, this guy takes fucking forever he is a newb and one hell of an annoying player.

I then start to talk to him, which I have been doing most of the final table, I tell him I have 40 K left and after the next card I will be putting it all in, or you could just take it now and I will call you.
Keep in mind the SB still has to play, so the button guy ends up calling and SB folds.

A 3 comes on the turn and I move all in.
He calls, flips over pocket 3's for a turned set.

Hmmm unique, so he knew his two outer was going to come? Since that was the only card that could help him on a board like that....

Who knows but that one really hurt...I got 3rd place....woo points....
