rTr league and cup - pt 2

welcome back, gentle reader.

just finished the HU semi final against Mair ...

nice tight game with a lot of poker played running thru the streets.
chipped up to t1700 then back down to almost even and this happened ...

in the small blind and i get dealt 5dJd, i call, mair checks (blinds only 15/30)

*** FLOP *** [Td 3d Jh]
Mair38: bets 120
ResdentEvil: calls 120
*** TURN *** [Td 3d Jh] [9c]
Mair38: bets 120
ResdentEvil: calls 120
***RIVER*** [Td 3d Jh] [9c] [Kc]
Mair38: bets 150
ResdentEvil: folds ..... fairly sure i am beat here ... or a good bluff ??
Mair38 shows [KdJs] (two pair, Kings and Jacks)

whew ! beat ... almost taken to the cleaners !

so its now t1250 v t1750

managed to chip up a little to t1340 v t1660 :)
and then this ...

i am dealt JcJd ... nice
RE raises 30 to 60
Mair38 raises 90 to 160 ...... hmmmm, lets see .....
RE raises 90 to 240
Mair38 calls 90

***FLOP***
2dTcAh ........ gawd damn fcuking Ace .......
Mair38 bets 150 ....... nice one ....... doh !
RE folds

ouch !!

down to t1100 v t1900 ...... not looking good .... oh crap
and of course it got worse ... dropped to t995 at one point .....

then i got Kd3d and flopped a K and wouldn't let go to Mairs bets of 150 on the flop and turn and collected a nice pot of 700
in the lead with t1730 v t1270

shortly after, the turning point in the game

i look down to see AQo with blinds 25/50 and raise it to 100 and mair calls
the flop is 964 rainbow ... not really what i wanted to see especially if mair called with Ax and spiked a pair
i bet 200 ... Mair calls
turn is a 7, with two diamonds on the board as well ... gawd, this is getting worse ....
i bet 200 ...... Mair calls ...... i am worried now :(
river is a 7h ... board is paired, flush draw gone but possible straight ....
i bet out 200 .... Mair38 thinks ...fold please ... thinks ... fold please please !! ... thinks ... folds
i collect a t1000 pot ... gawd that was close :)

now t2380 v t620

in the final hand soon after it was t2405 v t595

i pick up Kd5d
Mair38 raise 150 to 200 and i flat call
flop 76T with two diamonds :))
i bet 200 and mair38 calls .... hmmmm ... have you hit a set i wonder ???
turn 5s
i bet 200 and Mair38 calls 195 and is all-in
river 6h

giving me two pairs ... is it enough ....
Mair38 shows AdJc ....

whew !!

excellent game Mair, well played !

and who do i get in the final ... none other than mr cloud :))
