online stalemate & live bubble
haven't been playing much lately at all. over the past week I did a grand total of 3 SNGs, winning the first, a $5 o/8, then having 2 sick knockouts - shoved 99 into AA on a 7-high flop, then slowplayed a flopped set against a turned broadway gutshot. nice.
got a rare opportunity to play a live tourney 2 weekends ago, a $50 buyin at Harrahs. I enjoy live play so much better than online. last time i played a live tourney, i ended up agreeing to a 5-way chop at final table with me as the technical "winner" since I had a slight chip lead at that point. This was another final table, which isn't overwhelmingly impressive considering only 28 people started, but I made it to the last 4, and 3 spots were paid. At this point there was one big chip leader and the rest of us were all relatively even. And it had taken so long to get to that point that the blinds were insane compared to stack size, with the 3 of us between 20-40k and blinds 4k/8k.
fortunately, once it got 4-handed, one player suggested a bubble pay, everybody put in $20 and whoever went out 4th would basically walk away with a $10 profit for their efforts.
of course, bubble boy was me. I was amazingly card-dead throughout the tournament. I picked up KK once, AQ 3 times, 10-10 once, 99 once, and AJ on my last hand, and that was it for premium starting hands through the entire 5-hour excursion. I was in the BB for 8 of my last 24k, button shoved his 30k-ish stack, so of course there's no way for me to fold, and he had AQ. gg me. oh well, at least with the bubble pay I didn't lose anything.
couple key hands along the way -
3rd hand I pick up AQ, raise & get one caller. Flop AAx. I considered slowplay but at this stage thought i'd be better off leading out, hoping villain would think i would check an ace and just throwing out a c-bet, but after a little bit of thought he folded.
little bit later had 9-2 in BB, flop came 227. I bet & got 2 callers. turn was another 7 - actually a scary card for me but in hindsight this is probably where i should've slowplayed - there were 2 flush draws out now, and when i bet, everybody folded. If i check and somebody hits a flush, I could've taken a few more chips.
I made 2 mistakes along the way - with blinds 1k/2k and I had about 28k left, which was avg at the time, I limped 22 utg. a tight player raised and another called, so now i'm getting little more than 3-1 to call, but that would cost me almost 1/4 of my stack. I should've just open-mucked, but now was kinda stuck with calling, of course missed the flop.
2 hands later pick up a-4 offsuit in SB and complete after couple callers. flop came KK3 & it checked around. Turn was a 10 & 2nd club on board & it checked to me. for some reason i thought i had Ac4c, not Ac4s as it actually was, so thinking i was on nut flush draw, bet about 2/3 pot, got one fold and a call. river was a brick. I now had 2 choices - give up and be crippled, or shove and probably bust because if villain was slowplaying a king obviously he calls, and I felt if he hit the 10 he'd call also. i opted to just give it up, villain did have a 10 but told me if i went all in on the river he would've folded. so that left me with 11k and in awful shape.
fortunately, desperation works sometimes - pick up K8 offsuit in BB, folds to this monstrosity of a woman in SB who limps, I shove & she instacalls with 10J offsuit lol. thanks for the double up. couple hands later pick up AK sooooted otb & shove hoping one of the blinds would have a decent hand and call thinking i was just stealing, but they both folded. i didnt pick up another hand from that point until the AJ that I busted with. There were couple hands where I had K10 off, QJ off, and thought about shoving but I just felt like my best chance was to be ultra-patient and let others drop, and not risk it on a very borderline hand. Unfortunately a couple of shorties doubled up along the way, which helped land me in 4th when it was over.
but, cant complain about back to back top 5 finishes in my last 2 live tourneys. now if i could just get into a big one and do that...

someday i'll keep a run going
started turning things around, made another $2 rebuy final table, had a 3rd and 2 2nds in sngs, and all was well. since then, 4 sick bustouts - ran 1010 into AA, A10 vs. QQ on 10-high flop, QQ flopped set in omaha, AA turned set... 15th in $2 rebuy today AJ < 88 allin pre.
blah

not bad
continue my run of just not playing very much. all the suckouts, coolers and bad beats have really taken a toll. Monday did a $3 omaha tourney and took 4th for $40. No majorly exciting hands to talk about, except I did miss an opportunity to win i think. This assclown at my table was acting like a real schmuck, and started going crazy when i folded a hand with a straight on the board about how stupid I was cause it was a chop. I am just praying it was a level, because if he was genuinely that clueless about omaha and made the FT anyway, that would be just way too highly disturbing for me to handle. Anyway, he was raising obnoxiously almost every hand, one hand I picked up A10Jx sooted, normally playable for me, but i folded not wanting to have to fold to his raise, but this time he limped, and the flop wouldve given me the flush draw and openender, so I could very possibly have crushed him on that hand. But I didn't, and ran QQxx into KKxx preflop. gg
lastnight did another $2 1r1a, finished 17th. Couldnt get much going all night but still managed to get that far, ran AQ into AK preflop, flopped the Q then turned K. gg again.

ho hum
since coming back from break i played 4 times - 7th in a stt when i turned dummy end of straight against flop nut straight. then two 2nds in stts, and the FT bubble in the 2r. so overall not terrible.
did the $2 1r1a. had a very tough spot at one point - called a pf raise with 99, flop came 3 unders, all spades, & I had the 9. raiser bet about 1/2 pot, i minraised. he shoved & sent me into the tank. did he have overpair with a spade? overpair no spade? AsK-type hand? i eventually folded and he told me after the tourney he had AsAx, so good laydown i guess.
looked like i was on my way to cashing until this hand against villain from the other hand...
so sick, and yet so standard, at least for me. i hate poker.

the slide continues, sickly
well first there was the rambler series. lost decent size pot when i flopped top pair and LJ called me on flop & turn with 2nd pair & hit trips on river. nice catch. actually had some luck when i caught runnner-runner to bust a shorty. then pick up QQ, flop ace and lose big pot. KK flop ace and have to get away from it. then bust when i raise utg w/KQ, get reraised by LP, it's limit so i have to call, flop Q-high and raiser has AA obv.
then did a sng, here was the crucial hand, which also summarizes how i've been running since getting my acct to high point of $210...
excuse me while i vomit. so unbelievably sick.
