What are the odds?





I just finished a $10 HORSE sit-and-go on PokerStars. I won this one. The screen shot above shows the key hand from the heads-up portion of the match. This was what gave me the big lead, and it was all over just a few hands later.

It's a strange hand. I have never before seen two people in a heads-up stud game both get the same two pairs, and have the winner decided by the kicker (which, as you can see, went my way, but only on 7th street--whew!). We even had the same hand (9-9-J-2) on 4th street). Weird.

Because I have become a convert to the power of 2/4, I thought you may enjoy this.

From the middle of a long blog post at: http://the-truth-k.blogspot.com/

ode to the power of 2/4....

and I was with 3550 left so I decided to wait for some kind of hand to double up and if I didn´t get nothing I would go with any 2 agaisnt a major stack in the last 5min of the rebuy period.
well nothing come to me and with 5min left i saw some kind of oportunitty
with 7 limpers the SB raised to 800 I was on the BB looked to my cards 42hearts hummm and I think to myself lets hope he doesn´t have a pair... and went all in 3,7k everyone fold and after some thought he made the call with AKoff
I said good call sir and show my hand
flop : 2s 4d Qh
turn: 7h
river: Ts
Î said sorry m8 but he he went mad ... starting to blabla shit and left the room for a min or so

I was wtf ??? this is a rebuy ...ok you had a bad beat but cmon ...
