Well played squiggs - I thought I was a goner when you called my big raise early on when you had that 10.

That 10 was an easy call. You had raised big on hands 1 and 4, meaning those cards were (likely) low. You folded preflop on hands 5 and 8, meaning I had something good. In hand 10 the only cards that were left were 1, 2, 8, 8, 10. This tells me 1 and 2 were played in hands 1 and 4. Knowing that you had a 6 in hand 10, it was a pretty easy call, knowing I had an 8 or 10. If I raised, you wouldn't have called, so I called to get your reaction.

That was a horrific string of cards in hands 13-15. Seeing a 3 for you in hand 13, and being unlucky that I had the one. The odds of me winning that were 82%, but seeing the one was a gut punch. Being that you know I have the 1, it's an easy call all in, and your stack isn't threatened. In hand 15 you see my 10, and it's terribly unlucky that I see a 10 after you raise. Odds of me not having the 10 there are 91%.

Getting stuck with the 10 after having your chips cut sucked. Twice. I now see the rest of the deck for round three. I had no shot. Even if I don't fold the 10, I don't survive.

Girly, can you update the first post of the thread. It's tough to try and find things after match 10. Thanks.

[mrkajz44]

Very good analysis - I didn't think you'd go that far in terms of that first "10" raise, because too many cards were hidden from folds. Your logic was flawless though and likely should have done me in.

Hands 13-16 were definitely the key hands and I got the card luck there. Especially the 10-10 because I had first action. Fun game though - had a few sweaty moments for sure.
