Default How does Alex Jacob do it you ask??

From Paul Wasicka's blog..
http://www.kwickfish.com/Site/blog/D...27A4BC01C.html
[ QUOTE ]

Blinds 300/600/75
After only playing one hand in the last hour, I raise the cutoff to $1,800 with A, K. Alex makes it $3,800 in the small blind. I make it $8,800, leaving myself with less than $8k behind. He goes all-in and I obviously call. He shows T, T!!! Tens? I said, “Alex, what did you think I had? Nines?” I flopped a K but he rivered a 10 and he had me covered.

I really think this was one of the best tournaments I’ve ever played. I only marginally misplayed one hand if that. To go out the way I did both infuriates me and motivates me. Congrats to Alex for getting third.

I don't see the point of your title, he does it with pocket tens? Is that what you're saying?

Sounds like he was whining a bit, though. But I see his point: 28xBB with TT seems a bit much. Would you believe he had a read??

It's more in response to the threads popping up lately talking about how sick-good AJ is and how he never loses a coinflip.

It does seem that Alex run's quite good in race/coinflip situations,but he is one sick poker player,and super nice guy as well.

this hand is almost exactly the same as a CPT hand I played. I raised 3BB with TT, this guy reraises 10BB, I push 25BB, he calls and shows AK. But I lost, guess I suck at tournaments.

It's all about willing the cards to fall.
