Tournament #66

Took down a nice pot with A/5 after flopping a pair and turning two pair. Up to $1800. Took down another nice pot with just ace high with a bluff on the river. Up to $2000, 6th out of 42. Holding 6/6, I raise to $60, then call a raise to $90 ($15/30 blinds). Four other players. Flop is 8/2/6 with 2 clubs. I push all-in, no callers, up to $2300. Take down the next pot, too, with A/4 on an A/3/5 flop. Bet $150, no callers. Up to $2500, 6th out of 35. Blinded down to $2000, I pick up A/K suited. Raise to $300 with $50/100 blinds. Re-raised to $1200 (all-in for other guy). I call. He turns A/7. Naturally flop is 7/6/9 - if that, seriously, isn't my last 30 tournaments in a nutshell. Down to $800. Raise all-in with A/6 on very next hand, same guy calls with K/10. I flop a 6 and nothing else hits. Back to $1700, 16th of 24. Lost a big chunk playing Q/J with a flush draw when Q/A/x hit on the flop. Other guy had KK and my flush went nowhere. Down to $1000. Raised all-in with JJ, no callers, up to $1200. Blinded back to $1000, looking for an all-in spot. Down to $700, I push all-in with A/Q suited, one caller. He turns over A/10. 5/A/5 on the flop, nothing on turn or river, I double up to $1700, 15th out of 17. Pick up A/8 and raise to $400. 2 callers. Flop 10/8/6. I bet $800, no callers. Up to $2800, 12th of 17. Blinded down to $1700. In the BB with 3/8, unraised. Flop is 7/9/10, I call $200. Turn is a 6, I push all-in, no callers. Up to $2600. Blinds up to $200/400, I pick up QQ. I re-raise all-in and get one caller - he turns over 10/10. The Qs hold up and I'm up to $5600, 6th of 14. A couple missed calls go nowhere and I'm down to $4800. A/9 is good enough vs a short-stack A/2 all-in and I'm back to $5300. A couple blinds and a missed raise with A/9 and I'm down to $3100 in the BB. All-in with K/Q, one caller. He's got A/Q. Man, if that ain't the story of my life. Busted in 10th.
