Heads Up with the Queen isn’t a cakewalk!
Posted by CarbonPoker on 21st November 2007

In the Carbon Poker offices, its pretty safe to say that our Queen of Hearts isn’t the best poker player. The best way to describe Tina’s usual play is ‘luck box’.

That being said in the second of the Heads Up with the Queen bonus matches Tina showed a new side to her game. Her opponent in this round K1n9K0n9 almost predicted his own fate. As he folded an early hand he said to Tina “I bet you had a big pair”, in classic Tina fashion she replied “look at my pic”. That was a pretty clear tell that she had a big pair.

Unfortunately for K1n9K0n9 that wasn’t the last of her big pairs. Despite getting Tina on the rails she somehow managed to fight back (K1n9K0n9 might be able to help with the details…. I’m guessing there was some luck involved) She finished the game off with the biggest pair, yes even bigger than her pair, pocket rockets.

So congratulations this round go to Tina, and commiserations to K1n9K0n9. It was a well played game, he just couldn’t quite get the result he was looking for.

Its now up to mcfc1984 to restore balance to the force and take Tina down in the last of the Heads Up with the Queen matches.

cocaine82 has the cash but the Queen gets dinner
Posted by CarbonPoker on 15th November 2007

Thanks to a side bet during the first of our Heads Up with the Queens tournaments both players came out winners.

Thanks to some nice heads up play cocaine82 took down the $500, some of which will no doubt help fund the dinner that the winner of the tourney agreed to pay for.

Tina has already met cocaine82 at last years Aussie Millions when he won his way to the Main Event with us. Now he will be working overtime to win his way there again so he can come good with this dinner.

Im sure if he gets to take Tina to dinner he wont exactly be sad!

Congrats to cocaine82 for the win, and nice work for Tina for at least getting a free dinner from the tournament!

cocaine82 takes the win!
Posted by CarbonPoker on 15th November 2007

While I was trying to find out what happened to the custom table, Tina lost her lead and cocaine82 became the bully.

With a growing chip stack he methodically pressured the Queen on her blinds till she was finally forced all in with the worst of it.

There were a couple of heckles of luck box around the office when Tina doubled up to stay alive with some less than strong hands, but that luck ran out and cocaine82 was the deserved winner.

All was not lost though with a table agreement of the winner buying dinner at this years Aussie Millions. Now Tina just needs to hope that cocaine82 wins his way to Mebourne!

Tina takes the early lead!
Posted by CarbonPoker on 15th November 2007

Im not sure if cocaine82 is just taking it easy on her but Tina has taken the early lead thanks to a nice pot with A-Q…

No surprises that there was a queen in the winning hand…
