I had a wonderful time, a complete blast. See I was way off on your stack size but I wasnt in the hand either, but I try to watch and remember everything. I wish you stayed around to see him lose his chips advantage with a quickness heads up.
Like you said bro 300-600 blinds and you got 3.5k, Makes it more then reasonable. You had to catch some luck at that point. Not much up agaist ace7off. YOu really had no choice. You don't wanna get any shorter then you were. When he move AI. I knew he had Acerag. I thought a3 a4 but a7 not much better. It was funny because 3 handed the two overs always out way the ace high all in preflop.So your decision to risk it all right there is a decision a lot a player would make and I am probably one of them.
My first live buyin I made it to the top three out of 27 players. Its around 5am we had played since 9 pm. Blinds are not that high comparitive to the chip stacks. So theres all sorts of room for play. Mind you this is before I ever played online at all. I raised from the button and the other chip leader reraises me. All i know is from what I saw on tv at that point. I knew A6 was probably good three handed. I didnt comprehend the ideas of chip leaders clashing. I had no post flop skills. I got to the table by moving all in with AQ AJ AK, all the while finding races with pairs. 3rd place gets screwed , well anyways back to the hand. After his reraise I move AI with a6 clubs. He take 45 seconds and says "I got two overs I call". I was ok we flip them up. He has QJ off suite. He gets a magical flop with a queen and a jack on the turn has me drawing dead. Ironic? I hated QJ for a long time after that. Untill I became a far greater poker player then I was at that time. Now I just look back and laugh. The other player nursing a shorterstack ended up being the guys buddy and they did a
%60-%40 chop right there. All I got was a little over double what I invested which was $35. I promised my freind if I won. I would help him get his daughter braces. Well Im sorry sweetheart maybe after you go to school you can pay for em you self. Thats so mean. Just kidding
