Apparently they had a team event at Unibet Open Riga because the dutch teams from the last tournament wanted to get revenge on the Finish people. Obviously we needed a Swedish team so I, Dan Glimne and two guys called Daniel payed the 300€ per player and signed up. Then we sat around half an hour waiting for the dutch guys the get out of bed, which they hadn't considered an option earlier due to severe hangovers and general lazyness. And this wasn't THAT early, more like 1600 pm. Finally someone went to the bar in search for a Finish team which they got together and we decided that the dutch teams wasn't going to shove and suddenly it was SWE vs FIN. I would be tilted sitting alone at a table for 45 minutes waiting for a bunch of slow ass poker players to get out of bed but the dealer at my table was really cool so I actually had a fairly good time.
Anyway, the name of the game would be four Heads up matches and the winners would play a 4 handed final table, half of the price money to the guy who won and half to the winning team.
I drew some organizer from Finland and figured that I probably should be the favorite considering how I'm supposed to be a fairly decent poker player and he at least doesn't play full time. My NLHU game is a little rusty, but I couldn't imagine the level of fail and laughter this HU match would bring.
The match starts out and I see that he calls a bit to much from the big blinds and folds to many small blinds. I win a few small pots by cbetting and barreling turn and I'm soon up to having about 65% of the chips in play (we started with 6k each at 25/50) and level 2 with blinds at 50/100 I 3bet Akcc and snaps a ship and lose to Kings. Then I 3bet AQhh a few hands later and he goes allin. I snapcall and he shoves 44. I say “Ace on the river”, the flop blanks, turn is a brick and the dealer turns up Ac on the river. I tip her two lat (that's like 3€ or something) that I happen to have in my pocket. A couple of hands later I raise Q2hh and flop Q73 with two hearts. I cbet and he calls. Turn is a blank and I check since he tends to fold to turnbets and I feel that I could pick up a bluff on the river or vb lightish on most rivers. River is an off suit King and he bets fairly big. I call fairly fast and he has K2o for no pair no draw that hit a king on the river. Tilt.
After that I can't hit anything and he keeps making hands and/or bluffing me with the notable exception of openfolding 43o on KT7r. I tabled 32o to take the pot. Then possibly the most lol-inducing fuck up I've seen happens. I minraise J2hh on the button and get a call. Flop is Ah8h2x giving me a fairly decent flush draw and a pair. I bet 550 or something into 800, he raises, I go allin and he snap calls and tables.... Ks4h and says he has a flush draw. Then he goes “ehh, ohh... I was sure I had the king of hearts!”. His friend who sits next to him is less then amused. I hold and I'm ahead again.
Then back to him winning every pot (and his friend telling him to check his cards before river action, heh) and suddenly we're even again. I minraise T7r on the button, he calls. Flop comes 987 rainbow and I feel that I'm not going no where on that flop. I cbet, he raises and I decide to talk a bit because if I look strong enough maybe he'll get rid of some random 82 or something if he happens to have that. Then I minraise him. He minraises me back. At this point I'm not very happy, but I figure that I have a ton of outs against most stuff so I go allin and he snaps with the nut straight. I turn a T for some outs but fail to bink one on the river and I'm out.
That sucked.
Anyway, here's a fun hand I just played:
