Victory in the 10r

Yesterday was a good day.

I played 3 tournaments in total, and after getting knocked out of the 100 FO and 44 FO 6-max I had only the 10r left to play. The reason why all rebuy tournaments under $50 on stars are so profitable is the amount of money put in by people unwilling to rebuy.

I rode my stack pretty easily up to 200k or so, and then won a couple of nice hands to get into real contention. Two really sticky spots came up however, one at the final table and one with 13 left.

The big decision here was the call of his 3 bet postflop. If he had been a worse player I may have folded, but he had just been playing so super aggressive I had to call.

This was meant to be a trap where I'd just call down the whole way but the river bet was so strange it made me pause for a bit. Eventually made the call.

Chopped for $5k, nice score just before I go away!
