February 9, 2008, 5AM: Played 5 hours, 10 minutes, Made $1,290.64 at Full Tilt
$26 Buy-In Pot-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 211 Players)
Didn't want to play anymore tonight but Rob thought we should play this tournament while we messed around and worked on the site a bit. Funny how when I am playing when I don't "want to" I end up doing well.
Just grinded the first 150 players, not really paying 100% attention and just playing my hands straight foreward.
Once close to the money started paying attention and taking notes.
One key hand that would have busted me with about 17 players left was JJ, early position raises a bit more than min, agro boy is on my left and loves to jump into these types of pots to float.. I get a bad feeling and just let it go and wait. He re-raises and early goes all in.. although ahead with JJ, one had KQ and the other AK, they both improve and I would have gone bust.
Once down to the final table I just carefully picked my spots as agro boy was on my left. Eventually got him heads up with a chip lead, he doubled with the old 84 suited when he flopped a gutshot and flush draw, made a pair of 8's to beat my 6s. Back to the grind from behind.
I thought a lot about Nate and EightFives advice, "don't freeze up" and "be more aggressive". Once I turned it on a bit and didn't let HIM have full control he broke down. It enabled me to understand that when he min bet.. he had shit and when he checked to make a moderate bet as he either had nothing, most of the time, or was trapping, very rarely.
Once I figured this out he was toast, I just kept the pressure on until the end.
Thank you both for the help, my heads up play has improved dramatically and it is critical as the bulk of the money is made there.

Hell ya baby!!! Nice book. Like I told you a while back. "Determine what you're going to do and just do it." You always had the skill, just needed people to help point out the obvious. Who do you thibnk I learned it from? Grantide we were playing $.50/$1.00 or $1-5 Hold-em but hell...lol

Great win. The other night when I finished second, he had me crushed in chips as we started and he ran me over. I didn't really take my own advice in that spot and it may have cost me. So thanks for posting that as a reminder for me to not back down in those situations.
