What are the odds?

Day 18:
I am not a math-expert, therefore I am not sure of the odds of this, but I made 4-of-a-kind three times today. The first one was playing a $100 Heads up match and it was the hand that busted my opponent. My second one came during a $50 SNG as only three people were left. The third and final one also came in a $50 SNG and was the hand that won me the game! See for yourself:



























While those were pretty cool, I made a big mistake today that I just don't understand. While playing in the $109 MTT at Celeb, there were 13 of us left and I had a decent sized stack. Blinds were 100/200 and I raised UTG to 600 with KQo. There were only 6 players at the table and I thought this might be a good time to get blinds. Wrong. The BB called me and the flop came AA7. The thing about the BB is, he was pissed at me because I doubled up through him earlier. He then later tried bluffing at me, I bet back into him and he folded right away. I just got the feeling that he wanted his chips back from me. Anyway, he checked, I bet, he called. Turn come T. He bet 1k this time. I didn't understand this bet. I thought he was just representing an ace and so I raised to 2k. Horrible play. He raised all in. I was forced to call because there were 3 diamonds on the board and I held the Kd. I did not make my flush and he won with AJ. I only had 650 chips left and went all in next hand with AK, lost to JJ.

I am an idiot for making that play. Harrington says that the cards you don't want to see on the board when bluffing are Aces and Tens. This time there were two aces and I still acted like a donkey. I was able to clear my head of that play, though, and make another good late-night run.

Combining all my results of MTTs, SNGs, and HU SNGs, my results for Day 18 are: +$386
