     WOW Almost identical hand i had when playing the british masters at the weekend. Couldn't fold my AA to a small set.. was a totally dry board reading 2,J,7 ,4 (4 on turn as yours) all rainbow... guy had 2,2,2 and i crashed out after only 1 hour... im glad that pro's play that situation bad as well :-)

    Well done Mark. How much did you walk away with from the win then?!

    All of the presenters/analysts are running hotter than hot at the moment.

    However, today's a new comp......Unfortunately, I didn't catalogue any of these hands... but will say that I did cash finishing 14th - I really felt I should have won this one.  Two tables to go and I'm chip leader.  Then, I overplay AK, lose a third of my chips when I run into Aces the rest is all a blank...
    Really should have done better....



    Did you go on tilt Mark? Because even after losing a third of your stack, going from 1/18 to 14/14 is falling off a cliff.

    Hi

    Sorry for the delay in answering - just been mega-busy since back in London.

    No I didn't feel like I was on tilt - I actually lost about 40% of my stack on that AK v AA  I made a couple of of plays that didn't work out.

    Having said all of that - I certainly could & should have played better after the AK debacle.  They weren't tilty plays just average Joe type plays!

    ~100BB's deep 78s /> 78o
    ~300BB's deep 78o /> 78s

    ...

    Pretty sure it was urindanger...
