got 2nd in the limit shootout opening round.

went into headsup down 38k - 4k.

battled back to a slight lead.

lost a couple mega pots where he would turn 2pr or a better pair or when he puts in 2 bets on the turn with a bare 5 hi flush draw and gets there or when he backdoors a straight against a flopped tp.

brings me down to super short again.

make a few hands and battle back to a huge lead. and have him basically ai blind next hand.

qjs < k9 ok whatever still a big lead.

k2 < aq shortly after when he was still short ai pf as well. ok now he has a lil chips but blinds are huge.

then my 77 < a2, 5 bets went in preflop the last went in on the flop. wow.

then i lose KT when we get almost ai on the flop on a T65 he has j5 we put the last bet in on the turned J.

now i'm down a bit but i steal a couple blinds and bluff successfully and i'm cl again.

next hand we go ai i have Q7 he has Q5. flop 743 he says "this could be it." i lol as the 6 peels now we are like even.

big hand is the next hand i have A3cc he has Q8 we get it in pf (we only have a few bets) comes J67cc but the turn is 8x and river bricks and that's the ball game.

i think i got him ai 6 times as roughly flipping or a big favorite. in his defense he played pretty well it was just a variance fest and he ran well.

the whole round took until 3:30am and we were the 2nd to last table to finish. we played headsup for 4 hours.

KILL ME NOW.
