Out on a ONE outer...

In last nights texas holdem tournament, I played very solid for a change! ;-)

I got some hands early, that allowed me to build up a stack and not fret the blinds, letting me wait for good opportunities to play...

I got REALLY lucking, making a horrible call on an all in from another player early in the game. I had AJs... the flop came K-Q-Rag... I was on the button. The only other player in the hand went all in for 1600... I was sitting on 5K.... after a lot of thought, I called, thinking he probably had two over's, maybe hitting a K on that flop. It really was a loose call, one I should not have made, but I had a real hard time letting it go....

He had Pocked K's giving him the set! I was in deep trouble here...

BUT

The river hit a 10 giving me the nut straight, and him a horrible beat... I felt so bad I apologized numerous times.. but he's a good player, and knows how things go....

I get moved to the final table, and I'm at 7500... really good shape with only 60K in play... for the next TWO hours, I get ICEY cards, and watch my stack dwindle to under 2K to the blinds... the ONLY hands I saw that could even be considered for calls to see the flop, the big stack made HUGE bets on ( 5K ), and I had to get away from them...

I finally make my stand with KT in the Big blind ( 800 ) and push my other 9K in making it 1800 to go.. I get two callers.. one is also short and cant cover that bet..... A Ten flops...... my K out kicks hit J and I win a good pot, bringing me back to 5K....

I take a couple more small hands to bring me up again to the 7500 count.

With 4 left, a somewhat loose player makes it 3K to go.... I have AQs, and know he will bet with any Ace.... I push all in for 6800.

The big stack, who is on the big blind, calls! The intial caller folds....

Big Stack has Pocket Qs, so I have an over with my Ace, and he only has a ONE OUTER with his hand! I spike an ace!!!

HE HITS THE ONE OUTER!!!
