Tournament #107

OK, still time for another try tonight...

More insanity on the first hand of this one as four guys go all-in pre-flop - A/A, A/K, 8/10, and A/9. Justice prevails and A/A quadruples to $6000. Nothing happening for me early on as I've had 7/2, 7/3, 7/4 and 7/4 in the first seven hands. In the BB with 4/5, I call a minimum raise to $40 along with 5 other players. Flop comes 3/6/7 - jackpot! I get 2 callers with $60 on the flop and then one caller on the turn (9) with $400. River is an ace and the other guy calls my all-in and he's got A/6. I more than double to $2900. Very next hand, I fold 5/6 and end up folding a full house :( Dropped $300 chasing flush and straight draws, down to $2600, 8th of 32. Took down $600 with A/8 suited and move to $3000, 7th of 28. Very next hand I've got 8/9 in the SB and limp. Flop a pair of 8s and bet $100 every step, eventually forcing the other guy to fold. Move to $3300. A/8 and Q/Q and I'm up to $4100. Split a small pot with A/10, move to $4300, 2nd of 25. Gave up $2800 with A/Q. Flop came A/10/A with 2 diamonds. Turn J, river 6. Bet $450 twice, raised to $1000 both times. Other guy had A/K. Not a great play by me but really put him on a flush draw and not another ace. And certainly not A/K. All-in for $1450 with A/8, uncalled, move to $1700. Raise from a short-stack in front of me and I've got A/Q, so I raise all-in. Shorty is the only caller and he's got A/5. Flop has a Q in it and he's dead. I basically double to $2500, 15th of 23 and out of the woods for the moment. A couple walks and an uncalled all-in with A/Q and I'm up to $2800. Blind are $100/200. Blinded down to $2300 and then pushed off a straight draw (hard to call all-in with just one card to come on a straight draw...) so now down to $1550 and looking for an all-in again. Missed a chance to triple up when I folded K/9 to a raise and an all-in in front of me. JJ vs AA there but a 9 on the river would have won me the hand. Next hand, I call all-in with A/J and the other guy has K/K. He turns a set that gives me a straight draw but I get no more help. Busted in 14th. One misplay with A/Q killed me in this one. Card-dead after that.
