Cc Riders Vs Cheap Thieves Recap (long)


Recommended Posts

The match started out slow, with kidpoker conceding the first few pots to me. He then started playing his usual aggressive style and I countered by mostly calling preflop and checkraising the flop with any piece of the board and a few bluffs. My strategy was to see a lot of cheap flops, mix up my play with good hands, raising about 75% of the time, and limping on the button with trash hands and some strong hands. He was getting the better of me when I couldn't catch a flop for a while until the first critical hand, where I was bluffing and he was calling me down with a weak flush draw. We both checked the river, giving up, and I won with 9 high.Kidpoker tried to trap me several times, once showing down a flopped set after I didn't bite, then he finally got me. Plenty has been said about this hand, but I had A2 vs his 23, and we got it all in on a flop of A45. Match over, gg. Except for the 3 on the river that gave me a chop, the chip lead, and new life.He got the lead again for the next big hand. He raised from the button and I reraised with AQ. He called. Flop was KKx with 2 diamonds, I bet half the pot and he called. Turn completed the flush. I considered betting out with the QD in my hand, but decided to check. The pot was big already and I thought he would either check it back or move all-in, but he bet less than half his stack. I decided to call, thinking I need to improve, but he is definitely capable of bluffing here. The river was a blank, I checked, he moved all-in, and I took my time. I felt like I was getting outplayed and could virtually end it here if I caught a bluff, but was convinced his partial bet on the turn was trying to suck me in instead of a bluff and mucked. He claimed to have the nut flush in the chat.I somehow mounted a comeback again to make it close for the next key hand. He raised the button and I again reraised with AQ, kidpoker calling. Flop was KQx with 2 hearts. I bet around half the pot and he called. The turn was JH, putting possible straights, flushes and lots of draws out there. I had no heart, but felt my hand was good, and tried to protect the big pot by moving all-in. He practically ran out the clock thinking, but mucked, later claiming to have JT.This gave me a fairly big lead and after exchanging a few small pots, the final hand was really uneventful. I believe he was the button and raised. I called with Q8. Flop was 8 high rainbow. I check-raised him and he moved all-in, which was a fairly small raise and I had an easy call. He had T8 and my kicker held up to win the hand and the tournament.I think it was a very well played match on both sides. I didn't see many of his hands, but I think the cards were about even. I believe I won more pots than he did due to aggression, but he seemed to win the bigger ones to keep the lead most of the match. He had me down a couple times, and out once, but I got one lucky break and kept fighting to the end.
