Rough Day For Tournament Poker
So I played in 3 tournies today, a Pokertips one, the Poker Stars Million, and the $200 HORSE at Full Tilt. I destroy the Pokertips one except at the end where I bubble after going from having half of the remaining chips to busto in 5 hands. Set over Set, lose a race, and a 2 outer all hurt.
The Poker Stars Million was going well until in the 3rd hour with my chip stack right where I want it to be and the bubble approaching, I donk of my chips with 58o. God I feel so stupid because of that. Here's how the hand goes:
Me on the button: Ok, I'll steal this (raise)
BB: Reraise
Me: Well, I've committed less than 10% of my stack here, but he is probably making a move on me, Reraise!
BB: All-in
Me: Well, I am getting 5-1 here, I guess I have to call.
BB: JJ!
Sigh...
Then on HORSE Tournament, I ran stupidly card dead for the stretch leading up the bubble and I made a questionable fold when I had KQo in the SB during Holdem at the 1000/2000 level with 3300 left and I fold to a midposition raiser. Normally I would reraise here, but a Super Short Stack was about to go out and I figured it wasn't worth it. I monied (which I am happy with. It's nice to cash in a HORSE tournament), but the hand I went bust with was me getting a flush and then villain getting the higher flush.
God were there some idiots in that tournament. I wish they spread HORSE cash games because I feel I would tear them up. I almost wanted to shout "You are all IDIOTS!", but my rule against tapping the fishtank prevented me from doing so.
I think what I am most dissapointed with is my finishes. I thought I played great poker all day and it hurts to play perfectly (except for the 58o hand) and bust out. On the bright side, I was playing very well overall and I am proud of that. Guess I can't ask for more.
