nite of quads for me

Gholimoli

my fecking god ,unreal this was .was playing in the 6K grtd tourny and i have not seen so much luck and so much quads (and trips)in 1 nite.
first of i start by being very tight.
worked my stack up to 3K eventually (this is a FO bytheway) and then this hand came up.
im on CO with 33 and a couple of limpers.
flop 83A first limper bets,second one goes all in and i call(have them both covered) and then the first llimper goes all in and i call.
first limper has 88 and the other dude AJ.i loose the hand and have 700 in front of me.
couple of hands later this maniac raises big from EP and i have AA on the CO and so i call.another person calls as well.
flop: AAJ so i go back pretty much to my starting stack..
18 ppl left and my stack of 7k is down to 5K due to being card dead.
im on the BB with 44 ,one big stack early limper and i decide to make a move.
i go all in and limper thinks and thinks and thinks and then calls showing KK(he had me covered 2.5:1)
flop (you ready for this) K T 4
turn 9
river : a beaty little 4

about 6 left and in the money i make a move with 88 ,a big stack calls me showing KK .i get another 8 on the flop and one on the river.
im shocked.
about 3 left and i have 20K and the other two have 40K each.
i push with A9 and one of them calls with KK.
i get an A on the river and now in good position.
i knock one of them out and go in to HU even stack almost.
eventually i reraise his raise with A9 and put him all in and he calls with KQ.
he catches a Q and im out in second.
was going to moan about not winning again but after the luck i had 2nite im pretty happy.:D

Nice result that's two nights in a row now!
I got nailed in the $50 rebuy on stars. Went out in 10th for $550, 1st was $12k!!! Could almost smell the money until some donkey made a move on me preflop with K9, I knew he was at it and called with 99, only for him to make a straight! Would have been monster chip leader on final table, absolutely sick.

very unlucky Dave.
just busted out of the 5K on the bubble.
had 15K and this other dude had the same.
i raise with my monster 59 from CO and BB calls.
flop is AA9 ,he leads for 1K and i call. turn is J .he leads for 1.5K and i call(im pretty sure he dosent have A ) river is a Q and he checks to me.there is about 10K in the pot and i have 7 behind me.i push and he thinks about it and then calls and shows KT for the str.i must trust my reads more i shoulda moved on him on the turn.

I'm going to book mark this post and drag it up in about 6 months when you tell us you've gone pro.

nice run gholi.

between us we have that 6k well locked up.

there were some weird hands yesterday, i had quads twice in the 10k rebuy.
(first time ive had them for ages).

Nothing like a steady income? You must be up 20k in the last few months or else, i've just coincidentally? seen you playing in the later stages of every MTT i've entered oN Tribeca.

lol nah not 20K (i wish) but im having a very good run and i dont mind if it continues.
to be honest ive learnd alot since ive come to boards.getting involved in all these discussions has been nothing but good for me.
next step is to bring my live game up to scratch cuz at the moment im just deadmoney at the moment.
if i win another few K i may have enough to ask one of the gurus here to coach me
in live games.
