November 27, 2007, 12PM: Played 3 hours, 20 minutes, Lost $550.00 at Harrah's New Orleans
$500 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (99th out of 224 Players)

most players would have gone broke on this hand: start with 2000 chips, a player that was next to me the day before and finished 14th was at my starting table again. we talked enought the previous play that we respected each others game. he knew i was tight and if i was betting that i had it. he never saw me bluff and all i showed down was AK, KK and QQ. he had raised my bb several times in the early going, and i let him have it everytime, even with hands that i probably could have called with. i knew that i was setting him up for a big bluff. he limps in early position, several players limp for 25 and i take a flop from the button with J8c. flop comes K97, one club. he leads into the field for 75, folds to me, i make a raise with my gutshot to 200. he calls. turn is Ac. now i can actually make a hand. he checks and i take my free card, not wanting to get in too deep. he could have a monster. when he checks the turn, i put him on a set. river is 7c. i hit my flush, which he could never put me on, but the board paired. he leads out for 600 in a 500 pot. i only call. he shows me AA for a boat!. not only did i pick a terrible spot to pull one off, but i actually made a hand and paid off his very deceptive play. later, as a very short stack, i shove from the hijack with Q9c for 550 with blinds at 50-100. button wakes up with QQ. flop is KJT. i get very lucky to double up! stole a couple pots here and there. with blinds at 100-200 and 25 ante, folds to me on button. i shove for 1775 with TT. bb woke up with AQs and i lose the race. bust.

December 4, 2007, 12:54PM Posted by rubytide	i thought hijack was the seat before the cutoff. thats what i meant anyway.
December 4, 2007, 1:14AM Posted by DeiYuo	I assume the "hijack" is what is also known as the "cutoff".    And to teach you something new about the REAL Hijack..   If there are 8 players at a table, if button is in seat 8, then seat 1 is SB, 2 is BB, 3 is UTG, 4 early position, 5 mid position, 6 late position, 7 cutoff, 8 button   My point to all this jibberish is the REAL Hijack steal the blinds position is Early position, or two in front of the BB, they never expect you to come in for a raise with a piece of shit there ;)
