ok, with jeezy i wanna be super careful, because hes a preflop player, if i raise, hell put me in with any ace, and with the way things were goin, i was not lookin to gamble on the low stack.

so i limp, regular lookin flop


i min bet, for info, and to try to take it down.

he jus calls.

this means a lot of things, but its his biggest mistake in the hand. just calling here indicates he does not have 2pair or better, because he would protect it.

turn comes a good card a duece, again i min bet, im actually a lil scared, i really wanna see the river cheap.


ok well i get the river i want, i check, no reason to bet here. now honestly i want him to check, or make a big bet, a big bet will indicate a hand like, K8h 89 810 910.


well he bets the pot. look, how can he have a hand here, a 7 value bets, if not checks, a 6 doesnt bet, those running dueces didnt do anything. there is jus no hand i can put him on. so i make, in my mind an easy call.



one more

probably my favorite hand of the tournament. now from the beggining of the final table till 3 handed, i acted like i was the guy who plays his cards, and lets them fall where they lie, thats how i set up a few bluffs on the very aggresiive closer later on.

he raises my blind (standard) and this time i decide to play with him and call. AA4, not a dream flop, he bet the pot.
freeze. any pair he has, has to be worried, and thats an overbet if he has an ace.but if i make a raise, he might push with a draw.... hmmmm.

i elected to just call the flop, and see what came on the turn,

a 4. he checks, action time, now with my flat call on the flop, it makes it look like i can either have a scared 4, or im slowplaying an ace.

theres 1.9 in the pot, i bet 800,000.

if he has a draw... he can not call now, if he has a pair, he will flat call, and i will bluff the river. buy bettin 800,000 i know he is smart enough to know i might be trapping, because he knows i am playing my hand, not his (totally not true tho!) so i want him to think im baiting him, and will bet big on the river. he promptly mucks.
