Rematch

Continued my attempt at being the best $.50 LOLMAHA player in the world tonight and was quite interesting. Did not get off to a good start though. Card dead from the onset and ended up losing my first buy-in after getting in a desperate situation and getting AIPF with K ♦ Q♣7♠2 ♦  against A♣T♣6 ♦ 6 ♥  and lost with a flush to a full house on a A ♥ Q ♦ T ♦ Q ♥ A ♦  board. Ended up staying at ~1500 on my second buy-in at the end of the rebuy period and added on so already in for 3 buyins. Didn't look good after the break. I was last in chips and only 2 players were going to get paid. But thankfully there are some bad players in this.

I thought he woul d have just fol ded to the rer aise but he allowed me t o take a pretty sizeable pot and get the chip lead from there which I never relinquished .  G ot down to heads up soon after with him after the o ther player got el iminated . I w as pretty much chipping a way at him and using position to take down pot s. Had a few highlight hands with him. With blinds 150/300 and a 50 ante I get Q ♠ T ♥ 9 ♣ 8 ♣ in the BB...
