So I settled in for my favorite (Yet painful in length) tournament Sunday night while I had lots of good baseball, and tivo'd TV to watch. As usual, my rebuy period was very uneventful, with me finishing with a standard 5k after the add-on.
So, started the tournament off to a VERY bad start. I think I played this hand HORRIBLY on all streets, and should have gone home now. Feel free to rip me a new one on how I played this on every street.

Hand 2
I dont know if this is playing a bit too weak, but I did not want to have to face a raise with this, or even have to play against limpers. I didnt have a whole lot of chips to get tricky with. Too weak?

Hand 3
There was a LOT of folding going on for a long time. Including the villian in this upcoming hand doing a lot of raising preflop. He also showed the ability to lay down a hand. I'm on the button and hurting for chips. I still think this was an OK play, but lets proceed with the suckout.

Hand 4
Lots more folding awful hands with raises in front of me, when this hand shows up. I think I made a mistake by making this play from such a MP, but it worked out. This WILL NOT count as Suckout #2, as technically I was about 50/50 preflop. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

This had to be one of the more interesting hands in the tournament. And the timing could not have been better. I'd been folding crap, and decent hands to raises. Notice the comment by the Villian in this hand. And right when he was in the blind. /HUG Villian.

Ok, had been a TON of stealing up until now. We were now at the final table, and AKULA1 was directly to my left, NOT good. He had come over the top of my steal raises twice, including this hand that I played very poorly IMHO.

Villian had come over the top of 2 raises in about the last 10 hands, and had told me to stop raising his BB. I read this as a playback with a worse hand, and guessed right.

After a blind stealing fest for the next 30 minutes, the stacks evened up a bit, and we agreed to a 3 way chop. At that point we were all so tired that better than 2nd place money made sense.
All in all, I think this tourney sets the record for the most suckouts executed, but I'll take it. A win is a win. Thanks for the sweat from the 2x2'rs that were there!

So, started the tournament off to a VERY bad start. I think I played this hand HORRIBLY on all streets, and should have gone home now. Feel free to rip me a new one on how I played this on every street.

Hand 2
I dont know if this is playing a bit too weak, but I did not want to have to face a raise with this, or even have to play against limpers. I didnt have a whole lot of chips to get tricky with. Too weak?

There was a LOT of folding going on for a long time. Including the villian in this upcoming hand doing a lot of raising preflop. He also showed the ability to lay down a hand. I'm on the button and hurting for chips. I still think this was an OK play, but lets proceed with the suckout.

Lots more folding awful hands with raises in front of me, when this hand shows up. I think I made a mistake by making this play from such a MP, but it worked out. This WILL NOT count as Suckout #2, as technically I was about 50/50 preflop. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

This had to be one of the more interesting hands in the tournament. And the timing could not have been better. I'd been folding crap, and decent hands to raises. Notice the comment by the Villian in this hand. And right when he was in the blind. /HUG Villian.

While playing some hands, my two railbird cheerleaders pipe up:

StrungOut74 [observer] said, "i want to see chief go out on a 54"
I'm feelin the love! /images/graemlins/heart.gif /images/graemlins/heart.gif
This hand almost vaulted us to headsup. Wish he would not have checked that down. I was VERY glad to be rid of AKULA1 though, as he is clearly a better player than I am.

Villian had come over the top of 2 raises in about the last 10 hands, and had told me to stop raising his BB. I read this as a playback with a worse hand, and guessed right.

After a blind stealing fest for the next 30 minutes, the stacks evened up a bit, and we agreed to a 3 way chop. At that point we were all so tired that better than 2nd place money made sense.
All in all, I think this tourney sets the record for the most suckouts executed, but I'll take it. A win is a win. Thanks for the sweat from the 2x2'rs that were there!
