the hand that might have cost me the gauntlet

[dthorne04]

looooooool

[Stacks]

Like I said Geno, great season no matter the outcome. And that hand is uber epic.

[geno9]

yea you 2 man, im pretty sure you beat me by a pt or two after i just looked at it .. honestly i wasnt even aware, i guess i shoulda looked at what i needed especially with cuthbertt's pushing i woulda folded the AA if i new i needed 4th, that was ridiculous though

[Stacks]

Well I re-did the math and each time the results are:

Stax = 791.24
Geno = 790.15

But, tbh, I feel like the liklihood that either I screwed up, or the points on our profile isn't exactly correct is pretty high. So we won't know till it goes up officially.

[Roco415]

oh ok good, phew. I need at least 9 people in so that I have a chance to beat Roco.

I went out right after you courtie, thank god i won the event earlier and that cuthbert finally lost a hand HU..lol does anyone know if i actually got 3rd...?

im thinking the final results...

3rd- Roco:
639.09

4th- Cuth:
627.54

5th- TLR:
602.52

fimanoid:
596.36

Courtie:
581.19

spenda:
546.57

[drmcboy]

neither of you deserve to win since you skipped the 8 game!

[Stacks]

I did play one of the PLO tourneys, which was massively -EV for me. If I lose, succumbing to peer pressure and playing that PLO tourney will be super gay.

[BennyLaRue]

succumbing to peer pressure

You're so easy.

It's def a sick way to finish, but drmcboy's 'strategy' was definitely not playing in my favor, but actually quite the opposite. He began just shoving allin for like 20 hands straight, and busted like 2 players in the process. Assuming i didn't screw up on the math, Geno needed 4th to win, so really all Geno had to do with drmcboy shoving every hand was sit back and glide to victory. Obviously because the others didn't have much on the line, they would contest drmcboy, and if one of them busted, then gg Geno. It is unfortunate (or awesome) that Geno got the one hand he felt was +EV to play in this situation, and it got busted.

However, I don't believe Geno was aware that 4th would have sealed up the victory, and 5th was a bit of gray area. And because of this, I don't think he felt AA was a fold, even though it may have been +EV to fold AA there, just for the sake of winning the tourney.

[drmcboy]

See how owned I had the A7!!!?

ps stacks I busted everyone except flimanoid who luck boxed to the win

I can't believe how many times I had you dominated with the same card and a higher kicker and lost every one of those.

[drmcboy]

KILL PHIL WORKS IMO

I can't believe how many times I had you dominated with the same card and a higher kicker and folded.

yea i was totally unaware that i needed 4th to win, i really assumed 5th wins for me which is why i clearly pushed with the AA in that spot .. its my fault for not looking at the pts and figuring if i just folded here it was clear ihategnome was going all in with that hand if not very soon or most likely someone else in the next few hands. so its partly my fault and ill still blame cuthbertt like 10% lol cause that was just brutal why to knock me out of the gauntlet title. might have been the worst finish to one of these ever!! regardless it was fun and exciting finish stacks. great job!
