107 offsuit - new favorite hand

Finally won my home league game. That was a huge one. Every 10th game we double the points for winner. Out of 9 previous tourneys I made money only couple of times... But this win let me get on top of the leaderboard. Nice. Of course, gotta tell you how lucky I had to get in order to win that tourney.

First dodged bullet- extra aggressive player raises, I reraise all in w JJ and some other guy calls my all in, but he is shorter a little bit. Initial raiser who RARELY ever folds, decides to show his 55 and muck it. I was like, damn I really needed half of his chips. The other guy flips 1010 and board comes 87624. Be careful what you wish for. Would of lost against those 5's like in 16th place.
Ok, almost bubble play, out of 18 ppl we had left only 6. 4 get paid. Blinds pretty high, so even stealing blinds was huge deal. I was kinda shortstacked and lucky me I started getting some face cards and some little pairs. 3 all ins in the row and I'm looking good were I actually don't need to go all in to scare ppl. I get 55 again and decided this time not to push, just to raise. Guy behind me insta shoves all in. I know best scenario for me is a coinflip, maybe even I have only 2 outs. Fuck it, I suck it up and fold. All my blind steals were for nothing. Still on shortstack. Couple hands after I'm on SB and everybody folds to me. Blinds 3000-6000. I wake up with 99 and shove all in the rest of my chips, total 17000. Guy behind me hesitates, counts his chips for 10 times (had around 25000+) and finally folds face up QK. Even though I was ahead, but I was happy to get the blinds only without showdown. Funniest thing- the guy didnt realize that he had 6000 in the pot and needed only 11000 to call. Good lesson to actually follow what is happening at the table.
I squeeze the bubble a little bit and feel safe w 30 k since guy on rigth has only 10k with 3-6 K blinds.

Bubble bursts. 4 ppl left. And here comes my suckout of the night. With huge blinds , my 30000 looks like a midget against everyones stacks. I check my cards-107 off. After thinking for a second, do I let blind myself out, or I fight for possibility to get 1st, I decide to push all in. Button folds. SB and BB are very tight guys, so I'm hoping to steal some chips. SB insta calls. I know I'm done. On top of that, BB calls aswell. WTF!!!!!!!!

SB-AA, BB-AK and mine 107 looks like shit. Flop comes JQK. Not bad. At least now I have some outs. Turn 7. 2 more outs. Yay. Riverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr- 7777777777777777777777777!. Didn't just dodge a bullet. I dodged rocket propelled grenade there... Wow. That was some yummy suckout and some yummy pot. Still 4 guys left, but now I have some ammo to shoot some bitches...

One guy gets busted. Blinds 4-8k I'm on BB. I warn SB not to steal, bcs I will call without even looking. He thinks I'm just trying to intimidate him and pushes all in his 21K after button folds. I call and flip my monster 103. He has smth like Q8 or similar to that. Of course I spike 10 on turn. Same guy who lost with his Aces a few hands back... Better lucky than good...

HU was short and fun. Fun bcs I won again with 107. Second HU hand, guy min raises me, I call flop comes 1047. I check, he insta shoves. I call, he flips A8. Turn blank and going to river he is drawing dead. Congratufuckinglations!

I love 107 offsuit

My soccer team lost in semifinals 0-1. Next Saturday second match. Gotta win this one. Gonna win this one.
