You've placed 6th out of 13 and 7th out of 9 before. But yes, you've finished 4th quite a bit.

And yeah, I had the heads-up and 8-game switched. I placed 2nd at the 8-game and got squat. :/

A couple of brutal beats in that tourney.

That AA v 66 hand (that I probably could've gotten away from) will tilt me for weeks to come.

I don't see how you couldn't have gotten away from that, he was slow-playing the flopped set all the way. Sure he bet out when the board paired on the river, but it would be tough just making a crying call at the end.

Maybe we can move this conversation to the general thread for more strategy discussion?

I can't see how you could put him on the FH. The three was out of the question, for a small blind call, so it's fair to expect someone you have no reads on to have a K, or KQ at most.

Once the river comes 3, what were you supposed to do? Just calling his bet would've been extremely weak, with him only having 500 behind and a read of King. He literally had to flop magic to win, and he did.

EDIT: Yeah we should be moving over there now. This is my last post n this thread.
