Tournament #98

Been about a week since my last tourney and I'm rarin' to go...

First few hands have been decent starters but big raises have pushed me out pre-flop. Kinda just hanging around at the moment waiting for something to happen. Finally pick up a pot with A/4 in the SB, 4 callers besides me. Flop is A/Q/Q, I bet $90, no callers. Lost some blinds, picked up a small $100 pot, not much going on, I'm at $1370, 24th of 29. Finally pick up a decent hand - A/Q - and Pokerstars decides to disconnect me in the middle of the hand. THANKS. Finally took down a decent pot - picked up 7/7 and limped for $100, 2 other players. Flop was 5/9/A, 2 clubs. Called $100. Turn was a blank. River another 5. Tossed in $300, uncalled. Up to $1700, 19th of 26. Quickly gave it all back on K/10 after a 10/6/4 flop with 2 diamonds. Bet $300 but folded when 2 guys went all-in behind me. Good fold for me - they both had made flushes. Down to $900, looking for all-in. All-in for $700 with K/J suited, 2 callers - 10/10 and A/10. Flop is K/J/4 - jackpot! Triple up to $2200, 9th of 18. A couple missteps and I drop back to $1400 but pick up an $800 pot with an uncalled all-in to get back to $2000, 9th of 14. All-in for $1900 with 10/10, uncalled. Up to $2200. All-in for $2200 with A/K, 1 caller - K/J. Flop is K/6/4 and I'm in great shape. Naturally, he rivers a J and I'm busted. 13th place. Not much you can do when your opponent hits a miracle suckout to bust you.
