Tournament #85

Still feeling good from last night so let's give it another shot...

Slow start, picked up one pot by throwing a small bet at a flush draw, but nothing else. Lots of 7/3, 5/3 starters so far. A couple blinds and an A/10 that I (correctly) folded to an all-in has me down to $1200. Unbelievable run of bad cards here. Have seen 2 aces the entire tourney, down under $1000 with blinds at $50/100. All-in for $990 with Q/Q, 2 callers. 8/9/3 on the flop with 2 clubs. One guy goes all-in and gets called. A/K and A/5 of clubs turned over. Nothing hits though and I triple up to $3100! A/10, A/8, and J/J all net me small pots when I hammer the flops and I'm up to $3800. Limp with Q/J, me & 2 others. Flop is Q/7/J - jackpot! $300 on the flop, 2 callers. Blank on the turn, bet $900, 1 caller. Blank on the river, another $900, another call, other guy mucks, I win $5000. Up to $6500, 3rd of 21. Misread an all-in as a bluff, dropped $2000 when my pair of 9s fell to a set of 3s, down to $4300, no big deal. Several players gone, I'm now 8th of 15 with $4000. Drop $1100 when my A/K is beaten by Q/J and I'm down to $2500, 9th of 12. Uncalled all-in with A/K suited pushes me back to $3000. Uncalled big bet with Q/Q and I'm up to $3800. Blinds quickly knock me back to $3100. And THANK YOU POKERSTARS. I go to check the "fold" box but it quickly switched to the huge call button - with a $1000 raise in front of me. Half my chips in the pot with 3/3, so I pushed on the flop and got called by A/A. Busted in 11th place. That pisses me off. I basically got screwed out of the tournament. Awesome.
