i could not really believe he called with 7-6 ... but hey who am i to complain... that hand really opened things up cause now my stack was sizeable enough for people to fold if i go all in ... and not jsut auto call...but i fall on hard times again... and not real hands with out other people preflop raising...

but my little blind aggressive buddy pays me off again.. .

i might have folded that a-3 to anyone else but him .. any time it was folded to him and he was in the SB or on the Btton he was calling or raising so i had littel fear of him... with 1500 in chips now i really feel now is my chance... but wait the cards did not aggree with me i get wittled dwon again .. but be fore its to far down i go all in with A-5.. and get called by J-6? i did not know what this guy was thinking...

this hand put me in great shape and in second place...
with the blinds as high as they were .. and as many people that were left in the game at this point i knew taht i ws playing at a rather conservative yet emotional table... i was lucky that the guy in my BB was prety tight... and one of the other playe to my right was tight also .. so i started buying the blinds trying to take down two hands preflop on each round... before i knew it i was at 3500 and in charge.... i went on to take 1st....
