AK blues cont'd

so when I have AK, it screws me. When I go against it, this...



again, DIAGDFGF AK!!!!!!!!

that was a $5 KO tourney

my other results for the day -

$3 double shootout to 750k - finshed 2nd at my table. got HU with 4-1 lead, shoved my A2 in to his AJ to even out, then AQ couldnt catch against his 88 allin preflop.

$3 KO - near-bubbled, finished 65th with 54 spots paid. lost some chips when i openraised with KQ soooooted and called shorty all in which was equivalent to a miniraise, he had KK obv. then my cards died and blinds jumped (turbo) and i just couldn't get it back.

$5 horse SNG - took 2nd. got HU with decent lead against sick luckbox & of course he caught everything in sight to take it down.

Did final table a tourney on spadeclub. finished 4th - crippled with JJ, raised & got one caller - flop K84 with one club - villain checks, i bet enough to put him all in, which was slight overbet to pot, he called with Ac9c and barry-greenstein-booked me. sick. donktards.

DIAGDGF AK!!!!!!!!

I have been having massive problems with AK lately.

Latest in the FT fantasy freeroll tonight. after i played what i think might have been my best tourney ever. picked all the right spots, made all the right moves, like this against the aggrodonk station maniac donkey:



then comes the goddam AK...



such a shame for me to go out that way. played my balls off and blew it just like that. i dont know if i could've done it any differently. guess i could've flatted preflop instead of reraising to commit myself, but that's so nitty, esp 4-handed.

well the upside is my "roll" was $45, won $80 on this, so i cant argue with that.

full tilt can suck my left nut

so i run a shitty $2 stud/8 stt

then nyrps - pick up AA twice in 4 hands with no action, few hands later get AK in BB, standard raise, rambler reraises, I shove, he calls w/77 & board bricks

then i jump in a $5 s/8 stt. big chip lead, start to lose it as shorties hang on like cockroaches. regain the lead, then bust like a motherfucker in these 2 hands back to back

I mean come on, WTF?!?!!??! a million outs to the low, cant hit a goddam one. then i get rolled up and he hits the miracle?????? seriously, i need to find some sort of zombie voodoo priestess or something to break this disgusting spell/curse, whatever the fuck it is on me. I really can't take it any more.

every aspect of my life right now is such an incredible disaster, and to have poker treat me like this too, seriously does make me want to just slit my pathetic fucking loser throat.

blah

$5 stud tourney ran like crap, every time i had a good low draw somebody would draw lower, couldnt hit any high hands at all

NLHE sng, ran AK into AA. gg

took 18th at spadeclub. J3 in BB, no raise, flop trips w/2 spades, draw got there on the river. gg

blah

another one of those nights

so here's how its gonna run tonight

first was spadeclub, couldnt catch anything, then was gonna shove k10 soooooted on aggrodonk but my wife clicked fold by mistake. not nice. he showed 33 so it wouldve been race time so who knows. ended up short and shoving w/k10 off after some brain surgeon open-limped AQ for 200 with less than 1100 left. genius.

then this on ft - SNG #1 - of course had to catch the A to add insult to injury



followed by some -10% roi superstar telling me never to call a reraise w/AK. thanks dude.

SNG #2...



same one...



fought like mad to hang in. then great call to get into money position. she'd been miniraising a lot so i knew the shove was nothing super-strong...



then the 2-outer luckbox pulls this and i'm out...



it is incredible how many coolers i run into.

edit - the nite finished with another spadeclub flameout. down to 2 tables, in great shape w/over 100k in chips (floated between 3rd-6th). w/BB @ 4k, shorty w/about 25k raises utg to 12. i reraise to 60 w/AK (figured enough to iso w/out risking my whole stack w/chip leader behind me) - chipleader calls. Flop comes 10Jx, i check obv, leader bets enough to put me allin. sick. i fold. leader shows 10-10. puke

few hands later i make the mistake that is one of my biggest leaks - shove utg w/a9 soooooooted. chip leader has ak obv. gg me... 13th place. $5 ($150 to winner)

best/worst part is dumbass finished 4th after having a ridiculous chip lead at time i busted. blah.

but they were sooooooooooooooooooted, again

i mean seriously, for real???




but then there was the comeback from hell...

took off from there and took that one down.

oh and here is perfect example why i will never put money on cracksmokerstars ever again...

first hand of freeroll (yes, i know it's a freeroll, but still...)

pick up KK, in front of me there's a raise, 2 calls, a reraise - i shove, 3 calls, i'm in against AQ soooooted, AJoff, Q10off... board runs out x78910... AJ takes it down. yeah uh huh rng runs gooot

stud cash streak ends & monster call

well after the stud/8 stt winning streak ended last time, now cash streak has ended as well. went out 7th after 4 hands where I either couldn't catch the 5th low card or got rivered by some donkey calling down with a mediocre hi and no lo. oh well

instead, i took down a holdem stt. thought for sure it wasnt gonna go my way after this...



but then a sick call FTW...



now i'm debating if i should try to arrange a tilt to stars transfer w/someone to try out some steps for the wcoop. gotta think about that, the idea of playing on cracksmokerstars riggaments really doesnt appeal too much. we'll see...
