Tournament #93

Right back on the horse with another 45-man tourney...

Folded about half a dozen hands, then picked up A/J in the SB. Raised to 3xBB, got 4 callers. Flop was A/J/8, bet $300, one caller. Turn was another 8, bet $600, no call. Up to $2000. Just saw some horrible poker rewarded. I've got 10/10, raise to $60 after 4 guys had limped for $30. Next guy raised to $150 and got 4 callers, me folding. Flop comes Q/7/5. First guy all-in for $1000, next guy all-in for $1070, next guy calls, and fourth guy calls. Turn is a 6. River is a 9. First guy had Q/5. Second had K/Q. Third had 8/5. Forget the fourth. 8/5 wins with a straight. Think about that - he called with 8/5, then called a re-re-raise with 8/5 pre-flop. Then, on the flop, he calls TWO all-ins with bottom pair. And sucks out a straight with runner-runner. That's just crap, no two ways about it. I'm just glad I got out of the hand. Lots of going-nowhere hands and I'm down to $1275. Just card-dead. Had A/10 and called a $300 bet with that but that's it. All-in for $1050 with A/6 and get one caller - also A/6. Neither of us flushes, so we split. Very next hand same guy raises me all-in and I call with K/9. He's got 4/4. Flop is 10/J/J giving me all kinds of outs - but none come. Busted in 20th place. Same deal as last tourney - absolutely no cards whatsoever.
