Well I started out doing really well. I had the cards and was aggressive enough to take a few pots. I had my, at one time, favorite hand, A-Q suited and ran into aces to "donk" off a bunch off chips to "The Prodge" Brandon. A few hands later I had top pair (aces) with great kicker... so went all in on the turn,...unfortunately for me the odds were good for Sam to call my all in and he caught a straight on the river...this was how my day in the tourney would go. Rather than blame anyone else or bitch and moan about bad calls or donkey moves bay bad players, I will state the truth. ...I was out-played and when I made the right moves the odds were right for my opponent to call.
Again, I played cash game after the tourney so I recouped about half of my buy-in and re-buys for the tourney...I wish I had more time to play but it was getting late. All in all I am not completely unhappy with how I played but I think I need to re-evaluate s few things before I play my next tourney.
The key hand:
With blinds at 100-200, I hold Jh-8h in the BB and Steve under the gun raises 4x BB everyone folds and I put him on pocket nines or tens...I call. Flop comes J-3-8 rainbow. I check, Steve bets $1,500 I go over the top for about $3,500...he quickly calls and shows pocket Aces. I am ahead with 2 pair...Ace comes on turn so I am dead to river. I seriously didn't put him on pocket Aces...I didn't expect him to bet that much with all the other players behind him...I would've expected him to min raise or 3x to get more people in... In hindsight I should just folded my hand but I was still "tilty" from being out drawn on previous hands and I probably would made the same bet if I held pocket rockets. More to think about.
That's all for now...and man does this tail itch.
