| | | Brag: My first PokerStars 4/180 win!
Title says it all... 
I am a total luckbox. Twice I spiked sets on the river after being behind on the
flop [KK > A7, AA > 88]. Here's the hand that won the tournament:
Poker Stars, $4 + $0.40 NL Hold'em Tournament, 1,500/3,000 Blinds, 2 Players
LeggoPoker Hand History Converter
JoseRijo27 (BB): 121,526
Acadermic (SB): 148,474
Pre-Flop: (5,100) 5 A dealt to Hero (BB)
Acadermic raises to 15,000, JoseRijo27 raises to 121,226 and is All-In, Acadermic calls 106,226
Flop: (243,052) 9 5 A (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
Turn: (243,052) 6 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
River: (243,052) 2 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
Results: 243,052 Pot
JoseRijo27 showed 5 A (two pair, Aces and Fives) and WON 243,052 (+121,526 NET)
Acadermic showed 3 3 (a pair of Threes) and LOST (-121,526 NET)
A normal raise at that point would've been T12,000. When he bet T15,000, I was
pretty sure he had 22-44 and that I had a decent amount of fold equity.
It took me 63 tries to get a win. But I also have a 3rd and two other cashes in
my last 11.  |

I wish I could play more of the ChipTalk tournies, but I'm more of a "special guest star" (LOL). There's one on Turkey Day, right? |

Anyway, CONGRATS on the win! Brag it up all you want!

WTG
The 4/180 SNG a lot of fun. I've had 3 top 18 finishes and 2 top 9.
#1 is still eluding me.
