even though Iwon it there were times when I felt I was playing it wrong.

 

[shwingzilla]

I assume 1 = A? And are these sit&gos, or are you playing 20/40 No limit? I know you said sit and gos, but usually they don't read out in dollar signs like that.

 

[holduplaya]

Wow, I did not notice that. I'am pretty sure 1 = A. This was a SnG, these are the exact hands I played in it. This site is pretty new its pitbull poker very small site and it's the first flash player poker room I believe. It kind of sounds like it is being run from a very small office perhaps maybe a house.

 

[t1riel]

OK. This may take a while but seeing as I like Heads Up:

Hand History for Game 343612
I'm wondering why you slowplayed AK, I would have raised here I wouldn't let him see the flop for free.

Hand History for Game 343619
Good Job. You were aggressive with a marginal hand at best and were successful.

Hand History for Game 343626
Good Fold. It was worth chasing the straight.

Hand History for Game 343635
Nice bluff attempt on the river, unfortunately he was check raising so he obviously had a great hand.

Hand History for Game 343648
Good All In. You were shortstacked and you were dealt AK. It's an easy push.

Hand History for Game 343651
This is interesting. You raised with the same hand earlier but only call this time. You probably would have steal the blinds this time as wll as last time if you raised.

Hand History for Game 343662
I would have raised preflop here. You were lucky you got a big pot with this one.

Hand History for Game 343673
Well, that was easy, wasn't it?

Hand History for Game 343680
I would have rasied more preflop but you got a decent sized pot. I still wonder if he would have called if you raised more.

Hand History for Game 343690
Good thing you didn't raise on the flop(which I would have done), you would have lost more chips.

Hand History for Game 343703
Good Aggressive preflop raise.

Hand History for Game 343705
Good play here.

Hand History for Game 343716
I wonder if raising after the flop would have turn things around.

Hand History for Game 343725
Again, good preflop raise.

Hand History for Game 343730
You must not like AK, becuase you didn't raise preflop here either.

Hand History for Game 343737
Nice Job.

Hand History for Game 343751
You stuck to your guns and played aggressive throughout. Good Job!

Hand History for Game 343762
Very good.

Overall, you did well. You need to raise preflop more, other than that, a great job!

 

[holduplaya]

Thanks, I do agree that I have to raise preflop more. I don't really like AK but I should play it more. overall I think I thought I got luck but, now I know I have a bit of skill.

Thanks again.

Holduplaya - your 19 hands in a H2H were;

AK, J6, Q4, K2, AK, J6, AQ, A5, JJ, J3, J9, KJ, 75, A3, AK, KQ, 96, K9.

That's a huge run of hands - AK 3 times, JJ, AQ, 2 more aces, and picture cards almost every other time. I've played 100hand tourneys without getting a hand better than AQ. I cant imagine your opponent had anything like this! Sorry to put dampener on it, but if you get a run like that H2H you should win really.

That's what I was thinking... I knew I won with more luck than skill
