In hand #1 they raised (middle of the tournament) with Td 6d and I called in the BB with 88. flop 966 turn 7 and a river 4 kept me in the hand until the end to pay off his miracle trip sixes.
In hand #2 I raised in middle position with As Ks and the same opponent called with Kh Jd and the flop? Of course it was KJx. River was another K to ensure I lost maximum with this hand.
Back to today's event. For the first hour I'm sitting next to Full Tilt pro Stuart Paterson who is losing chips like a mofo. People are calling double raises pre-flop with hands like 87J2 and hitting while lows are counterfeited, etc. For the first part of the tournament I was doing pretty well, but some monster draws failed to materialize, or pots were chopped when I had by far the best of it on the turn. For example I had KKxx double suited and caught top set on a flop of KQ (low). There's two diamonds and opponent #1 has the nut flush draw and opponent #2 has AQQ6 and is giving huge action. Oppenent #1 has A35 for backdoor low draws, so in order to scoop Opponent #2 has to hit the case queen and to get low he has to have the cards come runner runner 3 5. They come runner runner 3 5 no diamond and I chop with uber dog.
Here's Stuart at the first break:
After the break
things started to go seriously wrong as my preflop multiway raises with A23x hands were greated with flops like TTx and I chased a couple hands through the turn when I should have folded. At this point I have 510T left and the blinds are 160, so I'm looking for some good cards and a good flop and ... well I need some help!
Help didn't come in the form of this hand heads up (all in except for 92 chips pre-flop and I bet the 92 on the flop when they had 4 outs to scoop). Ah well, that's poker.
