Finally!
Well my NLHE game may suck but I finally managed to win a HORSE tourney. Funnily enough I wasn`t even going to play but as I was still awake . . . just. I registered for the early morning $3 buy-in. I really can`t believe just how bad some of the people who register for this game are. They clearly have no clue how to play some of the varients. Still I suppose I shouldn`t complain, they`re contributing nicely to my bankroll.
The final table arrived pretty rapidly with one player grabbing an early lead. Tweaker22 can only be described as hyper-aggressive. He was hammering away on every street and it worked for a while. Ultimately though he chipped me up rather nicely in the razz round. We reached the final three with two places paying and one extremely small stack. But hyper-donk just wouldn`t check down pots to try and get rid of the short-stack. It cost Tweaker in the end, the other player got back into it and I was able to cripple Tweaker during the HE round. I had AK, raised, he re-raised and we ended up capping the betting. The flop came K-Q-x and off we went again. When the final card had fallen he turned over Q-J. I guess he though he could just blast me away with aggression but he was wrong.
When I finally sent him to the rail I couldn`t resist throwing a few choice words after him. He probably didn`t see them but they made me feel better. Rarely have I been so pleased to see a player bubble.
My opponent made a valient scrap of it but I was merciless during the razz round completing the bet probably 90% of the time and using my huge chip lead to good advantage. Finally a win at HORSE.
I also picked up a win yesterday in the early morning razz. The field was only five but a win`s a win. More gold for the trophy cabinet.
