GUKPT Final

It didn't go to plan! We started with 15000 chips and I lost a fair chunk on the opening hand. Blinds 25/50... I faced a raise and reraise to 600 to play before I looked down at AsKs in the big blind...

I called and the flop was Qs4s5h... opponent checked and i bet 1000. He made it 2000. I considered reraising but i was a little concerned he had QQ. Turn was an off suit J. So I had a Gutshot too now. He bet 2500 which obviously priced me in. River was a blank and if he checked I was going to push, but he bet 3000 and i folded.

After that without really hitting very much i managed to get up to 25000 practically playing every hand. I won a big pot on a 9T37A board with 68... that was the high point.

My exit hand was slightly bizarre. I pushed when i really shouldn't have with Kc2c after floating on a Ac3d3s flop the 4c on the turn, seemed a good spot to check raise all in. My opponent was probably pot committed though and called with A4. If the 4 hadn't arrived on the turn I'm sure my plan would have worked!
