I get the guy all in preflop, hit the flop and ... It works like a Swiss clock.

Aruba Step 10 Again
Since last Wednesday, there was no Step 10 game. I was waiting four days and somehow today we made the full table. Game started good, and in the first few hands I had some big pocket pairs. Than came one hour of 9,2 and J,3... I was a low stack with only 600 chips when ... but it's better if you watch the video.

Can't win them all
Ace on the river
I'm playing a qualifyer to $100 buy in Aruba satellite that leads to a main $500 buy in Aruba satellite. This qualifier is free; I'm usinig my UB points.
With pocket Aces I was all in pre flop. On the turn my first thought was "Fuck..." My second thought was "Ace." Than came the river.
Two hands later my opponet got lucky. I made a mistake trying to trap him when I checked the flop. I went all in on the turn in a bad moment.
Next hand I got my chips back from the same opponent. This time all in on the turn was a good move.
The trap worked this time. I checked pre flop. With on the flop check-raise-all in, I won the satelitte.

Aruba - Step Nine - check

The game was slow and a few times i was down to $1,300 from starting $2,000, but I always made it back to about $2,200. I got lucky break and made a straight on the river. We were all in and my opponent flopped two pair. The second double up came in the hand below. I became a chip leader with over $9,000.
I'm excited to be so close to a big important tournament. Right now I feel afraid to start the final game. I know it'll be slow and it requires patience. But playing these qualifiers I learned to wait for the right moment. There is only 2-3 days left to complete the Step 10, so I cannot afford any mistake. Wish me good luck.

Aruba - Step Seven - check
I'm in the step 8. After playing satellites for a few weeks I developed a strategy that will take me to Aruba. I used it yesterday and today and it was smooth sailing from step 3 to 7. Buy in for Step 3 is $1.10. I hope that magic will work in next few days and my last three steps.
This was the most important had for me. After a bunch of bad hands I min-raised preflop on the button with pocket jacks. Chip leader went all in and I called. I doubled up and moved to a second place with 4,118 in chips.


This was the final hand. I was not in the pot, but I was happy to see my opponets go all-in when the small blind decided to make a move, and go all-in preflop with Q,8 for 2,557. Big blind didn't think for a long time with his aces.

Wish me luck. I still have to play Steps 8,9 and 10. From each steps top two players move to a next step. 3rd and 4th get a free ticket to replay the same step. In Step 10, top two players win Aruba Classic package $8,500.
