I really liked the structure, Villain is a well rolled MTT donk I think, he posts on 2p2 for sure.
Out of the $162 SCOOP
108 hands and this is my first 4 bet after like 15 of his 3 bets that I have flatted twice and folded the rest. Other than 44 early this is by far the best hand I have had in this situation.

I just finished the low event in 17-32 bracket.
I thought I played really well until the very last game (the way it usualy is when you go out I suppose)
Without laying on the excuses to thick, I ended up really tired (5.45am here) and made a very bad move against a player I know I shouldn't of been doing it against.
Anyway, I'm still fairly happy and got $580 for my troubles.
I don't think I would of been able to get in the top 32 as comfortable as I did without gettining my fundamentals pretty solid from the vids. Even the little tips helped, like knowing how to find who I was going to play next (I wasn't aware of that before) so while I was waiting for games, I was going through the game HH of my next opponent looking for leaks and pretty much had a game plan going into every game. Shame I didn't follow that game plan on my last opponent, but whatever - thanks anyway.
Well I've played 5 scoop events and cashed in 4 now with 2 deep runs, so I think I'll probably treat myself and play the next low HU scoop for $270 :)
Ooof, out of all 3, though I drew tough opponents in the higher two.
Just donked off my $16 in round 2 trying to make a hero call, oh well.

The gentleman went on to tell me he had a set, and when I insisted he had trips he tried telling me they were the same thing.
