BSO Event 12 $500 Heads up

Cool so I arrived yesterday without too many issues. Got all my stuff, so that's a good thing. Relaxed a bit, played some blackjack, registered for today's event and had some room service before going to bed.

Today started really great. No jetlag, W00T! Went to the seatdrawing which took forever! And had my first match.

Key Hands Level 1

The guy was realy passive and took about 25% of his stack by min raising him every time preflop and when I had the feeling I could take it down, did so. No surprises there. At the end of level 2, the guy was kinda cripple and switched to a aggressive style, by reraising big preflop and moving all-in a few times. And that was the time I was card dead. So around halve way level 3 I picked up some hands, but the stacks were about 13.500 for me and 6.500 for him.

One key hand which I won was the following:

Me: 7 9 hearts, in the big blind
Preflop raise 3x BB (600) from me and a call from him

board: 6c 8c Js
I check and he makes a bet of 1200, I call
turn: Qs
I should have raised him on the flop, but I didn't just to keep pot control for any flush draw. But now there is a second flush draw and the guy was giving me all kinds of tells he was going to call any bet here. As I didn't want him to hit his draw on the river, I moved all in... Dumb move as I could have made more their, but I had the feeling he had a nut flush draw there...

He folds after taking a real long time to do so. He was thinking of calling me there with a A8 of diamonds and thought I was drawing... DAMN! So after that I was all set and done. About 3 hands later I had AQ off and he raised 3x BB and I 4 betted him.. He went all-in and a snap call from brought us to a showdown. JJ vs my AQ Coinflip!

Nothing on the flop, nothing on the river and luckely a Q on the river did the trick. End of Level 1.

Going to play again at 5pm for my level 2 match. And if the field is playing like the guy did for level 1, I could end realy deep!
