Matchroom 1-2

Coming first and second at matchroom on Sunday was
pretty decent, only disapointing thing was not going
out after to celebrate, and no one there to witeness
the match. Unfrotunately i lacked the patience
to try and take chad out heads up, but for $70,
and to stay up any later, seemed hardly worth it.
However chad did his best to give me a sporting
chance despite having over a 5 to 1 chips lead, i
got it back to even. But when he called a re-raise
with 5-2, and the called a check raise all in
on q-q-5 flop (i had a-6), he managed to take it down.
The hand b4 that managed to level it, was interesting.
I raised with 7-8, and he made a small re-raise
with A-10. I called, flop came q-8-5, he pushed
all in i called and took it down. Mistake not
re-raising me all in, classic error - not raising
enuff. Think about how much your raising, may
be with Aces possibly ok !

Earlier I potentially made a mistake when i didnt re-raise
with a-q, from the bb, but 2 ppl were effectively
all in. Chad meanwhile kept knocking everyone out
on the table, after flopping a straight and a straight
flush, and both players pushed all in against him. Woke up
the next morning at 5.30, to play in 250K tourney,
out first hand ! Came back from the bathroom,
saw i had jacks, got re-raised. Called, flop was 9
high, called his bets to the river, he had
Ks. Oh well.
