nice run man... nice run.

thx man, still wish I could've close it up... if anyone thinks any of these hands are particularly bad lmk, namely the QJ bluff and the K8 reship

not sure how much the guy was opening but the K8 reship seems ok if he was any kind of aggro. the QJ, i feel like if you gonna barrel, just put him in on the turn, because i think you'll get looked up pretty light by checking back turn and shipping river.

gg though

The opener was 25/20 over a decent sample... def pretty loose, and due to positions I hadn't 3-bet or shipped him yet until this point since he was on my left until more people busted.

The QJ I didn't really wanna bet that turn since I felt he was calling with most of his flop calling range anyways. When he checked again on river I thought his range isn't super strong since he didn't choose to bet and he check-raises some % of his top pairs on the flop... and that turn/river together changed the board a fair bit and brought straights/2-pair/sets and stuff... thought he might have a tough time with 1 pair hands, and prob have to fold JJ/TT type hands, but apparently not cuz he snapped me off. But yea the turn isn't much of a scare card so I didn't feel like barreling it and I had outs to the nuts.

gg V

I want to start off by saying I totally respect your play. Making it this far is an accomplishment all it's own.

Now I maybe a newbie in this community but I have played for quite some time. My personal thoughts on both these hands... (That I must say I am guilty of in both cases)

I think the JQ you kind of got caught speeding. When he called the flop bet i think it should have thrown up a stop sign that he wasn't going to let it go. You made the only move you could on the river to win. Me personally I would of gave up after the flop call. but again I didn't make the FT you did. (I am guilty of this one heads up on BoDog 3 years ago heads up for a WSOP seat... did not bode well)

As for the K8 reship... I think it's a good hand to bluff with as you did. Thats kind of my standard, play back at a blind stealer hand... bc imo if you get called it's better than average. unfortunately he had a hand.

I'm just as guilty but sometimes luckier

you are still my hero. nice score.

Thanks for the reply nclined. Yea, I probably should've gave up on the river, I just felt like when he call/check/checks, his range is rarely better than 1 pair, and I could get him to fold some 1 pairs. I don't think I get him to fold often enough though, cuz my line isn't that strong, and I probably need him to fold some Ks to make it a profitable bluff. I maybe should've shoved turn since it represents a bigger hand, and I have some outs going into the river still.
