Okay so I'm running badly.
WSOP qualifying, forget it. I've been playing the shootouts. Can't make anything happen. I've been colddecked so many times it's sickening. And when I'm not colddecked it's an ugly suckout. No content, like I said.
Tonight I had 4600, 6 handed at my first table and BB is 100. I raise an EP limper w/ TT, he calls. Flop is 6 high. He checks, I put him all in, he calls w/ A6s, turns a flush draw and rivers trips. So I'm down to like 3k but I still have the lead.
Very next hand I get TT again. I raise, good player reraises from the SB. I couldn't decide between pushing and calling. I decide to push, he has AK and the flop comes KJx. In retrospect a call would have made me able to get away from the hand.
Very next hand I get AK on the button. I raise and SB moves in over the top, I call, he has ATc and flops me pretty much dead when the flop comes Ten high w/ two clubs. I don't catch my two outer.
3 hands was all it took to go from 4600 to 800.
After the break I get TT again and run into AA. So even if I didn't have that 3 hand span I would have lost a chunk.
Anyway now I'm out.
I'm 1 for 3 in heads up play in shootouts. And the only time I made the final table I had this hand:
BB 30, LP (ebolivia) opens to 90, I call in the SB w/ 44. Flop K54r. I check, he bets most of the pot, I call. Turn 3, I check, he bets half pot, I raise all in for 800 more, he calls w/ AA and hits his six outer and I don't even get my $160 back.
Anyway I am just really aggravated. I can't remember the last time I sucked out to stay alive in a shootout but it seems like I'm not winning any of the flips or the 70/30s (like AK v. AT).
Guess I'll keep trying but it feels like I'm cursed.
Yes I know I'm bitching.
