jem

In the last 3 in the kildare tourney. 1 player sugested doing a split of the money and chips was turned down.
next hand I had 93 off on big blind 7.5k&15k
button folded, sb made up the blind,
flop k/9/2 rainbow, small blind goes all in for 80k which is all my chips as I had 82k at the time,

5 big blinds left is tight enough...

..I'd still fold though.

I'll fold post flop, but I would have been all in before the flop.

What was the 3rd players stack size? Was the player who wanted the deal the player who went all in?

It depends on the player. If he's the sort of player that you've seen make a load of moves and is willing to stick his chips in on a bluff then I'd call, but if he's a solid player who you've seen mainly bet when he has it and check when he doesn't then it's a definite fold. I don't think he has the king whatever sort of player he is though, most people would slow play top pair in this position so it's the kicker with your 9 that I'd be worried about.

The 3rd player stack size was about 1/2 jems.
The player who went all in was the one who wanted the deal and seemed to be very loose and getting tired.
From what I saw of him, I figured if he had k with almost anything he would have raised in this 3 handed situation preflop.
Mine you with that information I still would probably have folded because of the ****ty kicker.
Anyway jem thought long and hard and after what seemed like an age, he called and your man turned over 10 2 o. The fecker was on a complete bluff and thank god no 10 appeared on the turn or the river.
At this stage jem had a big chip lead in the heads you and went on to win the tourney, but with out a doubt that was the hand that won it for him.

Great call so, nice one.

With 9/3 off???

I had played at the same table with him almost all night and he never showed/got caught bluffing. at the final two tables I had k5 on bb a few limpers so I checked.Flop came 7710 checked all round, turn a 10 he made a massive bet into pot 60k with blinds at 2000/4000 I folded even though I thought he was on the take. I went to have a smoke a few hands later and we discussed the pot he said he had Q high and felt that he had the best of it , I said I had been right and only had a jack(a lie) but he had give me info for the first time that night.
on the big hand my reasoning was he didnt have a pocket pair or he would have raised preflop. there was only 3kings& 3 9's left in the pack 6 cards to beat me- 12% chance, I discounted the king as 3 handed he would probably have raised preflop with any king so down to 3% . **** or burst, no increase in iris when flop came down, I was stareing straight at him not the cards.
So I called.

I had been down to twice bb within 45min of the freezeout so I had made another major comeback, the previous one I had been down to the small blind only and cameback to come second.
i have to say it was a great feeling to win my first tourney and to be the first of the Ace High crew to do so and I only the 2nd best player of our group(tap is the best of us)
