Hand from LOP tourney

[SoBeDude]

He thought my fold on the flop was weak. He made no mention of my preflop check. If it was a NL tourney, I'd might have pushed all in.

He actually didn't get mad when I made a big suckout on him when forced to go in in the blinds.

He got sucked out on by a young kid at my table and he didn't get upset then either. He had AA, made a pot-sized raise. got called by the button. made another big bet on the 9-high flop, and the button went all-in with J9. Men called, turned over AA and a 9 popped out on the river. He didn't say a word. Perhaps after its happened the 5,000th time it no longer upsets you?

I goaded Men into showing me his hand once during the PL event. 4 (or 5?) limpers (blinds $15) and I jam a pot sized raise from the big blind. Men and another call. Flop is 678 rainbow. I bet 250, Men pushes all in. I looked at him and said "What hand would you call my pot-sized bet with that makes you a straight?!??" I folded my QQ, and he turned over his 45spades.

I've left LA and already come home, so no more of the events for me. After 7 tournies of putting my money in with the best of it, and losing every time to a 2-4 outer, I decided to call it quits and come home early.

Losing with the best hand EVERY tourney gets frustrating.

Get more chips than the other guy so he doesn't bust you when he sucks out.

Sorry it didn't work out man.
My reference to his not getting mad on my suckout was due to how mad he was when getting knocked out at the WSOP.
I think it depends on how many Corona's he has had.

I like him better than his cousin Minh who sucked out on me to stop me from getting a huge stack at the $330 event (i won't replay it sinde I went over it in my trip report)..but I liked him until then as we were the only ones chatting (when my ear buds weren't in).

Sorry I won't see you at the supersats.

what would you have done with the A8 preflop?

[SoBeDude]

Easy come easy go.

I've just had a month of losing to totally dominated hands in every tourney I played. It started at the Shoe when my KK all-in against Q8o flops a king and still loses to the runner-runner straight. Followed the next day to KJ losing to QJ on a 2JJ board and a Q pops up on the turn.

My luck followed me to LA. JJ all in against 22 and 2 on the river. AJ vs AT and a T on the flop. KK vs AK and 2 aces on the board. QQ vs KQ and KQ makes a straight.

Lets hope it missed the plane-ride back to South Beach.

I'll be at the Borgata next month for the WPT event there. I hope I fare better.

Some people pray for good luck. I'll settle for average.

Every suckout didn't bust me. many times I did have my opponent covered, but the suckout left me short. Eventually one I didn't have covered got me. Still I went down swinging with the best hand.

And all these tournies were tight on starting chips. There wasn't a lot of room to miss a big pot and still be in decent shape in chips.
