Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

4th out of about 130 in a $24 guaranteed $3500 at Tribeca (only poker I've played this week apart from a $5 PLO table to test out Stars software) - took home $280
Played well and was in top 3 or 4 throughout, but not sure whether I made -EV play at end considering stack sizes.
Stacks were something like 85k (aggro leader), 30k (me) and 12k and 10k.
Blinds were 1600/3200.
Leader was raising every hand 3x BB.
I was BB he was SB. He puts in his usual raise and I see a flop with K9o. I hit K on a 2-suited flop. He bets 1/2 pot. I push. He calls and his no overcard flush draw gets home to knock me out. I put him on flush draw or better as with nothing at all he would have bet pot.
2nd was $700 and 3rd about $450 I think.
Should I have just let him blind steal me there and waited for the two small stacks to bust out? Should I just have called his small bet on flop and pushed back on turn if no flush card came?
In a cash game sense I played the hand right, but in MTT last four?

Took down a $4 180 sng on stars last night. The site froze with 4 left and me in the chip lead. By the time I noticed it was back up I was 3rd in chips. When we got hu I was down 90k to 180k and I told MVP (on the rail) that I needed to get lucky once, then I would win. Got all in with aq v q10 on a qj5 flop.
This is the third $4 180 I have won in the last three weeks.
