Brag: Final Table the Hoy Monday
Beat: Finished 6th of 6 at that table.
Variance: Really should not have been there - witness this hand on the cash bubble.
Full Tilt Poker Game #6305261032: Mondays at the Hoy (47637093), Table 7 - 400/800 Ante 100 - No Limit Hold'em - 0:38:52 ET - 2008/05/06
Seat 1: Chippy McStacks (27,775)
Seat 2: Evy35 (22,040)
Seat 4: bdidde (17,834)
Seat 5: surflexus (14,568)
Seat 6: heffmike (12,885)
Chippy McStacks antes 100

bdidde antes 100
surflexus antes 100

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to heffmike [9s Ad]
Chippy McStacks folds
Evy35 folds
bdidde folds
surflexus raises to 2,900 (standard, surf's smart, his range BvB can be really really wide here to raise, I have NOT been defending my blind very strongly)
heffmike raises to 12,785, and is all in (I should have the best hand...)
surflexus calls 9,885
heffmike shows [9s Ad]
surflexus shows [Qs Qh] (unless he's near the TIP TOP of his range, shit)
*** FLOP *** [3s Jh 9d]
heffmike: geez
*** TURN *** [3s Jh 9d] [9h]
*** RIVER *** [3s Jh 9d 9h] [3c]
heffmike shows a full house, Nines full of Threes
surflexus shows two pair, Queens and Nines
heffmike wins the pot (26,070) with a full house, Nines full of Threes
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 26,070 | Rake 0
Board: [3s Jh 9d 9h 3c]
Seat 1: Chippy McStacks folded before the Flop
Seat 2: Evy35 folded before the Flop
Seat 4: bdidde (button) folded before the Flop
Seat 5: surflexus (small blind) showed [Qs Qh] and lost with two pair, Queens and Nines
Seat 6: heffmike (big blind) showed [9s Ad] and won (26,070) with a full house, Nines full of Threes
heffmike: oh, nevermind
Evy35: wow
PirateLawyer (Observer): standard
Donkette (Observer): so sick
ANIguy (Observer): poker is so rigged
heffmike: freaking range is so wide, and I hit his top end.

I liked the lineup at the final table, big stacks to my right, a solid lineup, but no one way out of my league - but I decided to get over-aggro and make another resteal with about 15BB when Bdidde openraised from the small blind and I had QJ. He instacalls with AK, flop KJx, turn A, river doesn't let me suck out, gg me.
Anyhow, how do I get this far, besides being lucky enough to turn trip nines? Well, 54 >AA on a x44 flop, all in, and 33>AK on a K3x flop, all in, helps. Then Operation UberNit sets in - until I get silly with restealing against small blind openraisers, ick.

Regardless, another good run, maybe I'm actually playing better and catching a few hands when needed...
