My First Shot at the Stars $750k

Well I didnt take it down, my wife asked if I was dissapointed. Honestly I cant say that I was. I felt I played well and went out 1523 of 4197. so I made it farther than 63% of the field. I'm not dissapointed because I took a shot, and I definetly plan on taking another shot when the oppurtunity presents itself.

My table never broke, and their were very few seat changes during the 2 hours that I played. This meant that there were not a lot of chips in play at my table. Everyone was playing fairly tight aggressive, and everyone had low M's after the first hour.

Anyway I saved key hands as they happened. Good or bad. So here they are:

This was an early hand. I put this guy on a big hand (QQ or better) when he reraised my raise. If I didnt hit top set, I would have let this hand go. The blinds were low, and I would have had plenty of chips left. I was concerned about him catching a higher set, but it worked out.

As you can see from my chip stack, I hadnt played many hands between the last hand
and this one. All of the chips I won were in uncontested pots, and all small. My
opponent in this hand had been playing some rags, and very aggressive. Unfortunetly
for me this time he had the hand to back up his LAG style, and I got stcuk when
trying ot make a play at him.

This is a fairly large pot that I took down a few hands later. Unfortunetly for me
my opponent (beanbag)got irritated at me playing at him, and verbalized it later
on. In one of my later hands he told me to stop overplaying, and told the table I
was bluffing.For the most part I didnt bluff, I did do some semi bluffs but had the
chips to do so.

This would be one of the hands I consider a semi bluff. I took down a reasonable
sized pot. I probably made a mistake of showing it.

I thought that if my opponent had Ax in his hand he would have bet lower in order
to get a caller. I was right but unfortunetly he caught one of his outs.

Here beanbag bets back at my bluff. It was obvious to me at this point that he
knew I was playing my chips more than my cards. It cost me a significant % of my
chips.

I seriously considered folding this hand, but the other tow players were short
stacked with very low M's. I knew that they were feeling under pressure, and the
range of hands they could push with was high. I was getting 3 to 1 on my call, and
if I won the hand I would be in a great position on the table. My opponent turned
over AA, and was back in the game.

I was in late position and was making a stab at the pot. I bet a typical 3x bb bet,
I was reraised and shrot stacked. I gave it some thought and thought maybe this
player saw beanbag come back at me and force me to fold. I decided if I went out
this hand, I would accept it. It wasnt a good play on my part, it worked out, but
I got lucky.

Here is the hand where beanbag made a comment to me. What I dont get is I didnt
enter many pots with him, unless I had a hand. Anyway I intenetional overbet the
hand after the flop based on his comments. Unfortunetly for me my hand was dominated.
and I didnt catch my 1 outer. F Lee Jones!

I consider this a key hand b/c I ws short stacked and called a min raise for the
blind against the player who had me dominated the last hand. I considered betting,
but couldnt get myself to commit anymore chips to the pot.
