hello boys :)
I was notified by a friend that this hand was being discussed so thought i"d pop along and have a look. Unfortunately all this talk of VPIP IDO 3bet and more has left me confused and disorientated, so much so it took me a while to remember what I had in this particular hand.
AS George pointed out, I am indeed a woman, and obviously I therefore only really play the top ten starting hands, with which I limp call every raise pre, then proceed to check call all bets on flop, turn and river. without a second thought as to whether I may be ahead or behind. Top pair FTW!
In this particular hand I had actually found myself with a red and black ace. Now, call me tight as a drum (a washing machine drum) but I really only like to get involved with pretty hands, such as two red aces or even two black ones, I"m all for equality. But a red and a black one - it just didn"t sit well with me.
However, the flop came and of course the cards on it were irellevant, as everyone knows aces can"t be beaten, so i prepared to flat call of the bets until the river, when obviuosly I would win. Then the most awful thing happened!
The glass of neat gin I was drinking slipped out of my hand (I always get slightly sweaty palms during a final table) and fell onto the computer desk: the glass smashed and gin went everywhere, including all over my mouse mat, and as I went to call, the mouse slipped and accidentally clicked the fold button!
GUtted doesn"t even begin to cover it. Obv I would have won and in turn won the whole comp, but unfortunately this incident put me on tilt so much I went allin the next hand with KK which was called by AJ, who hit a Jack on the flop, and of course an obligatory jack on the river. MBN.
NOte to self - keep gin well away from PC in future. Oh and don"t come on forums where you haven"t got a clue what they"re on about either.

shattering all the illusions now i have to admit i thought steve was at it when he raised again. Bear in mind i"d been 4 bettin with air for quite some time against very weak players and hadn"t seen many hands, so had been pretty busy myself to make sure i kept my stack up where i wanted it in order to get through the inevitable bad beat coming as soon as i did pick up a hand. (you know that is the law of the final table)
i knew he was a good player, but he hadnt had many showdowns at all, and seemed to have been targeting Dev, so i have to assume him capable of raising with a wide range... afterwards i get told he is tighter than simon cowell"s waistband and always has the hand. that"s afterwards.
i don"t want to get involved with him but i also don"t want him to start targeting me, as i"m bb to his cutoff if i remember rightly. i found a crap hand out of position and called with it - sorry but it was aj. to add insult to injury, it wasnt even soooted.
if i"d hit my ace i would have certainly felt i was ahead as i didnt for a minute put him on a big ace. ideally though i was obv after some dream flop with say 3 jacks on it lol. flop came king high and he put in what looked like a ridiculously small bet, which based on his previous play, looked like he wanted me there. a bigger bet and i probably would have tried a hero move, so i think i got off quite lightly.
quite honestly, i think i would have called him with any suited connectors there simply as i felt he was targetting me, aj is not a hand i tend to call raises with - honest!
if you"re at all interested, my theory stood up for the FT bad beats - my connection went, i came back to 89k found aces in the bb and got no action, then found kk in sb, raised up, bb slammed them allin as i hoped he would, tabled .... AJ - hit trip jacks, sixth place and 50 dollar, no love him long time :(
the irony was not lost on me.
