Dumbass.............or Typical Heads Up

[Valiant23]

Ok - a brief history. Tigerwing was on his arse when there were 7 players left and needed a miracle run of cards to stay alive - which he got. Him and Dacey were having a "my A-kicker is bigger than your A-kicker" contest while I was picking up what I could. Going into heads up I was a 2:1 underdog and needed my best game to have any chance. I clawed it back once to about 50:50 and then lost it to a straight that I bet into (I had a low pair :eyes). So I had bluffed a lot of pots, including some of his raises with an A on the flop when I had nada.

------HAND 5------ Game #2224202114: Hold'em NL (4000/8000) - 2006/05/01 - 22:36:13 (GMT) Table "PP Grand Prix 2471082 - 1" Seat 9 is the button. Seat 8: Valiant23 (78680 in chips) Seat 9: tigerwing (80880 in chips) tigerwing: posts the ante 1000 Valiant23: posts the ante 1000 tigerwing: posts small blind 4000 Valiant23: posts big blind 8000 ----- HOLE CARDS ----- dealt to Valiant23 [Qs Js] tigerwing: raises to 24000 Valiant23: calls 16000 ----- FLOP ----- [Kc 9s Ac] Valiant23: bets 16000 tigerwing: calls 16000 ----- TURN ----- [Kc 9s Ac][3s] Valiant23: bets 16000 tigerwing: calls 16000 ----- RIVER ----- [Kc 9s Ac 3s][Jh] Valiant23: bets 21680 and is all-in tigerwing: calls 21680 ----- SHOW DOWN ----- Valiant23: shows [Qs Js] (A Pair of Jacks, Ace high) tigerwing: shows [7h Ah] (A Pair of Aces, King high) tigerwing collects 157360 from Main pot ----- SUMMARY ----- Total pot 157360 Main pot 157360 Rake 0 Board [Kc 9s Ac 3s Jh] Seat 8: Valiant23 (big blind) showed [Qs Js] and lost Seat 9: tigerwing (small blind) showed [7h Ah] and won (157360) with A Pair of Aces, King high

So - apart from losing, what did I do wrong? As I get some input I'll try and explain what was going on in my head. :lol :wall :wall :wall

Re: Dumbass.............or Typical Heads Up I think you played it as well as you could, with a strong hand you got sucked into a difficult pot that you couldn't really get away from. Just unlucky that he made his higher pair.
