GWPS: Heads-Up Tournament - Round 3

[The Eye in the Sky!]

GWPS Heads-Up Tournament
ROUND 3

The first two rounds are over and we have it down to the final six of BTS, Tran, Joe. Shak, Brian, and Velocity. All of these players have shown how to win heads up and will prove to be tough in these bracket finals. Luckily, the losers get to play a 3-way table for the last seat in the Final Four.

BTS vs. Velocity
Tran vs. Brian (my pick for most exciting game)
Shak vs. Joe

Let's light this up. You guys know the rules (25/50 blinds, 1000 chips, Best of 3)

I'd like this round to be finished by Saturday, April 22nd. Only three games, I don't see a problem in people getting them done by then. I recommend playing as soon as possible, though.

[JoetheShow]

woo first post, Shak, my AIM and MSN are in my profile, tomorrow would be an excellent time for me during the afternoon.

[Velocity]

I've got all three messengers, Sicky, and they're in my profile. I'm typically online about every night around 9:00-9:30.

[-TranViet-]

I beat Brian, 2-0, both on suck-outs.

Sorry man, good game.

[Zell 17]

Yeah, you played well...but I want to detail the extent of these suck outs because I am very angry.

First game I had him down, he goes all-in preflop with K7, I have 88. He's DOMINATED but manages to win and now has more chips than me. Then I get AT, get raised all in, and lose to Q8 preflop. Ugly.

Second game I have A9, flop is AT4. I go all-in, winning would give me a dominant chip lead. He calls with QT, turn is a J, river is a K.

Hopefully I won't get assraped by the software in the 3-man game.

Not that this hand is any good either, but I had K8.

You didn't go all in, you bet half your chip stack after I checked. I seriously didn't think you would bet that much with top pair, so I reraised all in. Unfortunately, you did have the aces, but I got lucky to catch runner runner for the straight.

[Coleman]

Not that this hand is any good either, but I had K8.88 VS K7 isn't a dominated hand. It's less of a race than if he had two overcards, but it's not DOMINATED. And if it was K8 VS 88, and he hits a K, you're nearly drawing dead.

[Zell 17]

Not that this hand is any good either, but I had K8.



So I was a 68% fave as opposed to a 70% fave, fine :P

[-TranViet-]

Nooo, not that hand. I meant I had K8 instead of the Q8.

[Believe The Sickness]

Velocity, I'll be on later at around the time you said you get on, so I'll IM you around then. Hope around 9 is good for you.

WLL

First two games I had him read on almost every hand. The first game I won when I had top pair and called his all in when he was drawing. The second game he had slightly more chips than me when I flopped two queens to give me trips. He bets and I call. The turn I bet out big and he raises me all in. I call and the river comes a 2 giving his pocket deuces a full house over my trips. That was the turning point right there. The third game was him dominating me the entire time. He was bluffing me oh so badly, including one hand that if I had called... it would have been over. Then when I called him thinking he was bluffing, he'd have pocket Aces. I couldn't catch a break.

You played damn fine, Velocity. Good games, all three of them. Plus that was the longest amount of time out of the three people I played against. Nicely done. And at least there's always the wildcard for me...

[-TranViet-]

Good game.

Nice job taking out BTS, Velocity.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Holy crap, good 'effing game, Velocity. He is like the Patriots of 2001, against all odds winning.

[Velocity]

I'm posting here now because my 'Net's dodgy after 11:30, but it was LWW for me, and it basically happened just like BTS said. I honestly felt that I got lucky to get that full house with the 2-Q in the second game.

Although I have to admit, the third game bluffing was both fun and nerve-wracking, especially when he took a long time to decide. :link: It was a great set of games.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Alright, lets get this round over with. Shak, Joe, light it up!

[JoetheShow]

Im on til 5:30 shak, but MSN isn't working for me... :(

[Shak]

CnR isn't working right now, server's full. I've managed to get on msn myself. Panic.

[JoetheShow]

likewise.... is there any chance we could play at AP?

[Shak]

Do you need to download?

ok, checked. Well, It'll take me about 90 minutes to download AP. I'm going to keep trying to get onto CnR, and hope to eventually get through. For now.

MSN if you're able to get on.

[Coleman]

AP does not have private tables, we play at CnR for a reason, ladies.

Try PokerRoom.com

[JoetheShow]

CnR is open if you're online, Shak.

[Coleman]

He lives in England or some similar location, he's only going to be on during the day.

[Zell 17]

God only knows it isn't for the excellent poker software.

[Shak]

LL. Played sh*te.

[JoetheShow]

Me and Shak just wrapped up, I won WW-. Not too much to say about it, it went by pretty quick.

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I always knew Joe was good. Tough break Shak.

Now, whenever you guys can schedule it, I need a three way game with the same rules (50 blinds, 1000 chips) for:

BTS, Shak, and Brian.

This is for the final seat in the Final Four. You guys lost but you still have a shot to get back into the tournament.

[JoetheShow]

Are these the seeds?

1. Tran
2. Me
3. Velocity
4. Wildcard

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Technically, it will follow the numbers still of

(1) Tran
(2) Joe
(7) Velocity
(W) Wildcard

but those are basically like a 1,2,3,4.

Sorry, wasn't feeling good, it's done now.
