points racing, yeah right...

well, in a 50BB tourney, I'm not raising light OOP, and I'm not check folding this flop, heads up against a button openraiser.... Once I lede the flop I'm going down swinging with AK, holding overs and a gutter draw (didn't I just do this Wednesday?)

So, I'm holding the only hand QJ is reasonably ahead of. That's why I end up playing most of my hands so fast... I can get stacks in the middle against these kind of holdings. The fact that the AQ/QQ/KK/AA I'm representing would have lost on the river is irrelevant.

Gigli runner-up for me. That'll happen. Must change gears this week, as it's increasingly apparent everyone thinks I don't have shit every hand I bet post-flop...
