i was playing a little bit of stud cash and with the profit of my mornings work i decided to have a dip at a tourney on gala poker, i played in a $5 nlhe freezeout. i decided to play ubertight and waited for hands to start off with and when i make the final table i would use that image to good use, about hand 12 i was dealt kd kh on the button and raised to 60(3bb), the bb called, a flop of qh
and he raised, i reraised, he shoved and i called, the kings held againsed his qs ts and i was shouting shipment. hand 20ish i found ak utg, i raised and a short stack went ott for 600, i called and he showed k10, a ten on the river doubled him up but oh well, still had 2400. hand 25 i had
so i raised, got reraised so i folded, he show aces voluntry, phew, hand 29ish i had ad tc utg, i raised 3bb(120) got a call from the big blind, flop was

ac saw me fire a 600 bet, he calls, the turn was a blank
, i fire a 1000 bet and he calls, the river was :
