JJDuque Wins Seat To $6,000 Guaranteed 6-Max at BetUS Poker

I just received my affiliate commission from BetUS - a sportsbetting and poker site. Long story short, I had $140 to play with. A few ring games moved my bankroll up to $158, and with some extra cash, I decided to spend $11+$1 to buy-in to the $6,000 Guaranteed 6-Max Semi-Final. 28 players registered for an opportunity to grab 4 seats (one seat for every $77 in the pot) to the $6,000 Guaranteed 6-Max Final.

I played a good tournament, and was aggressive and trapping all throughout. According to my tournament stats, I won 15 out of 22 showdowns, which was also probably the reason how I came out on top of the chip count just at level 4. And with the huge stack, it was easy to play a lot of mediocre hands I would normally fold if I didn't have the ammo. And some of these mediocre hands like 8-9 and 9-10 suited connectors, or anything K-x suited won me some handsome pots with nut flushes and nut straights against cards like AK, AJ, QQ, 10-10.

One would flop a set of 10s, and I would be flop the nut straight 7-to-J with my 8-9 filling the gap. Another player with AK would flop the A, but my Kh6h (Kh-6h I think it was) would have turned the nut flush, and I just had the chips to push around to make it look like I was bluffing or feigning fear of the flush by overbetting all-in and get the AK to call.

Eventually, the final table of 6 players left saw me with the HUGE stack, and I just picked my spots to trap and eliminate the remaining two players to have all of us four win the seat to the $6,000 Guaranteed 6-Max Final.

The first prize for the $6,000 Guaranteed 6-Max Final is $2,400. Not a bad payout from an $11 satellite win.
