I forgot to mention that I made a nice call in the nation against nation tournament yesterday. We were heads up and had about 50k each (he covered me slightly). I had the big blind of 3k and my opponent limped in from the small blind (which is pretty unusual). Now two hands before he had done exactly the same but then I had pushed all in preflop (with rubbish) and he folded. This time I had Kd-3c off and decided to check the big blind. The flop came Ks-Qc-5c. I checked and he checked behind. Turn came 10c and I betted out 4k, my opponent raised to 12k. Now I had a real decision. I thought he might be on some sort of flushdraw and wanted to reraise him but stack-sizes felt a bit awkward here and I also had outs with my 3 of clubs if he had me beat. So I called and the river came a blank 6x. I checked and he made an overbet allin for about 36k. I could really only see J-9 that beat me at this point, since he would bet a flushdraw on the flop and he would raise A-J, K-K, Q-Q and 10-10 preflop. This was my info at the moment and if you only can see one hand that beats you its usually correct to call. Also the overbet was a bit supicious, right?

Anyway, I told him that I could only see one hand that beat and said that I probably have to call. Then he wanted to flip his hand over and asked the dealer if “I probably have to call” was binding, lol. That really screwed with my head and I had to re-think the situation. After ages I decided to call and he showed 9-9. You might think that if he flatcalls preflop with nines he could also do it with A-J+ and that is the case but the given info at the moment pointed to the contrary. He did it to trap me where as I excluded that he had that in his play book.

I am through day 1 with 29 125 chips and now I am going to bed. See you!
