Glad to hear everyone got their money right away. I had a lot of fun and hope all of you did too. I thought that with such a small turnout it would be over with quickly and be dull, but it wasn't. It flew by and felt more like 15 minutes than 65. Hope to do it again in a couple of months.

Was pretty good game. I tried to play it like it is 50$ buy in or something. Khmm Khmm, that didnt work well. Anyway, while we are here I have to make suggestion to the winner regarding one of first hands where I had QJ and he had flush on flop. That was badly played. On that flop you should reraise for sure. I would probably got it in if you re raised there. You will never get two barrel bluff on that board so you are missing value or you give chance of hitting bigger flush to your opponent. If you already just called flop and turn then there is no much point in leading river there for such small amount. I would probably bet river bigger then that so you saved me chips and if I do bluff you just missed opportunity for 3rd barrel

I said I would tell you afterwards why I limped with AK (I did genuinally have it).
The game was rather tight and I felt like people were letting my dominate it somewhat, aided by the fact I managed to get monsters every time someone pushed me in, which always helps.
If I was raising I was getting everyone to fold so I felt I needed to do something a bit different to get some chips from it.
A pattern was emerging that every time I limped, you raised up. I ended up getting too limpy too.
So with the blinds, positioning and your stack, I limped believing you would again raise up, at which point I was hoping you would feel pot committed and call all in, and if you didn't I was still taking down a pot of blinds+your original raise.
I was fairly sure you wouldn't limp in with me, you seemed to good for that.

Great game boys, really enjoyed it. Well done MAHDROF for putting it on and well done to the mobsters who turned up , even those who were caught out napping, including me. Looking forward to another opportunity to play against you all.

Hope that makes sense
It does for sure but still most of hands I shove on your limp I would shove on your raise too. JJ would be OK to limp but AK is kind of risky in shallow game.
