    Congratulations to 'hectorjelly', who won $2,737.80 in '$7,500 Guar't'd Rebuy GF' tournament.


    Its been a while, I felt I was letting the side down a bit; so I went ahead and won it tonight. The crucial hand was about mid way through; I about 20k and got KK utg. I flat called as did one or two others, the small blind comlpleted and the big blind checked. I was annoyed but when the flop came up Axx i thought I saved myself a headache. It was checked the button who min bet, 200 or so into a biggish pot. The blinds called and so did I. Turn was a K. Small Blind then bet out and I called. Button folded. River was a A. Small blind checked and I bet the pot, he then raised me a huge amount, I put him all in and he called with A3. I was then massive chip leader at the table (over 50k) and never looked back. I live to play big stacks in tournaments, most fun I have with my trousers on.

    Dropsy was doing well until the eventual 3rd place finisher called his A10 with A2 I think, 2 on the turn and hes out.

    There was one other interesting hand, I folded AK which I very rarely do. I actually would of split the pot if had of called. Utg raised and a very tight player reraised, it would of been 1/2 my stack so I decided to let it go. Tight player had AK, utg had QQ. A on the river.

    Nice one Hector. My cheapo night in the $5000 freeroll ended with me going out in 13th. It all went wrong went I went all-in with 2 pair on the flop, problem being the flop was all hearts (hence the all-in) and got called by the Ah. A heart duly arrived on the river. Right so back to the cash tourneys.

    Hard luck, thats a great value tournament; especially with only 70odd players. I think a lot of people have used up their action points, luckily I have 1.4 million to spare.

    Aren't you able to cash them in for some stuff? Remember looking at the list, there's a Mini Cooper at the top of the list, for 62 gazillion points or something.

    I have about 100000 and I don't play all that much. You need about 2 billion to claim a toaster or something so freerolls are the best use for them.

    Well congratulations Hectorjelly on your victory. What are you going to spend the money on. One question. What site are you all playing on?

    The site in question here is victor chandler poker. Not by the way the most popular online site amongst boards luminaries but my fav. Mainly because I like the software, the tourneys and giving out to Hector for being a know-it-all. I mean winning tourneys, what does that prove?

    I'll get me coat.
