1 for 1

Ok So had a go at the $11 180 seater today. Played solid TAG poker from position, made the most of the final table bubble and managed to play my way to 4th.

So why am I tiltiing?

Because making a correct decision ended up costing me at least 2nd place. Throughout the final stages I had worked out the 2 players that my chips were coming from. One a very tight guy to my left who gave up his blinds very cheaply and the 2nd a moster aggro lagtard who would open shove any A and Re-Raise All In pre flop against tight players with anything from A3 up. I didn't actually get any hands with which to get into pots in position with him during the final 9 until we were 4 handed. At this point he had open shoved his stack, 80K ish from the SB EVERY time it had folded round. Now I don't mind a big stck keeping pressure on smaller stacks but the guy had shown he was doing this with ATC. Getting called by A10 a few rounds earlier and hitting a straight with his 8 5o. So when 4 handed the button folds and I'm sitting with AJs in the BB I'm literally hovering over the call button. As I knew, he shove's. K 6 off. Great, rub hands I'm about to double up to 80k, take 2nd place and after watching the rest of the players have to be pretty confident of going on to win.... unti the 6 hits and thats me gone. Oh well, no good deed goes unpunished. I have noted the guy and will be getting into as many pots with him as I can the next time we come up against each other.

As for now I'm too tilted by his idiotic attempts to justify his play in he chat box to carry on playing. It's friday night, I'm on a promise and I'm off out to vent alll frustration on the poor unsuspecting lady! If she compains I'll just give her the guy's S/N and tell her to get some compensation from him!
