More Rounders Success

For the second night running I made the final table in the Rounders Radio freeroll. This time it was NLHE and I finished 3rd after playing a rocklike game throughout.

There are times I love some of the inept players who frequent these events and this key-hand illustrates why. Dealt 77 in the BB there were two limpers and the SB completed. I simply checked. The flop came 10-7-2, SB checked as did I, the third player to act made a minimum bet and was called by the button. The SB immediately pushed all-in and I couldn`t hit call fast enough. I was absolutely convinced he didn`t have 10-10 and after the other two players had folded I was proven right as he turned over 10-4. No help for him and I doubled through from 5.5k to around 12k. That hand set me up for the rest of the tourney, from then on I was able to just play solid ABC poker and although I had to get lucky once hitting a 2 outer to beat an overpair my progress to the final table was pretty smooth.
