Just another day (or two)

So i played the PXF tourney the other night. A few interesting hands came up:

AQ in mid position, an early position 3x raise at 25-50. I flat with about 2800 behind and the BB comes along.

Flop- Q66 : BB checks, initial raiser bets out ~250. I call and the BB shoves for another 600 or so. The initial raiser rants in the chat about this guy having a 6 in this spot and then folds. I even type in the chat that I'm just not good enough to fold. It may have been the multitabling or whatever, but I can't see this guy calling over 15% of his stack preflop OOP with a hand that has a 6 in it. I call and look stupid when he tables 76s, and then I look dumber stacking his chips after a Q spikes the river. Nice try seven six.

Then I get moved to a table that I knew was gunna cause me problems. In the two immediate seats to my left sit Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy and Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis, ranked #6 and #1 in the world according to PocketFives online poker rankings respectively. I know that a) I'm going to have a hard time stealing blinds and b) I'm going to have to call a reship fairly light, as they are capable of making a reship play there with a wide range of hands.

This comes into play after an orbit or two when I wake up to K10 on the button. Standard raise to 600 at 100-200, and JohnnyBax reships for another 1900 or so. I was sitting with 4500 behind and decided that if I call and lose I'm still sitting on 10 bb. I call and any thought of reshipping light goes out the window when he tables KJ. I then proceed to look like a donk to the PXF community watching on when a 10 on the flop sends JB out the door. Go me.

Then I lost a flip later on my A7 vs his KQ, and dwindled down to about 8 bb. 32 left now and 27 cash, but I'm in last and to have any shot of winning I need a double up. Unfortunately, my last chance of fold equity comes UTG and I high five the monitor and shove my 42 off lol. It looks good until the BB calls with A9 and GG me.

Last night I ran like my feet were glued to the ground. Out of the $5r when I ran 8s into 10s, the $36 turbo sucked when I ran my 66 into A10 and A8 on a 10-7-6 board, lol. That was one hand after running into AA with my JJ, nothing you can do in either situation.

I cashed the $10k with a finish in the low 30's though, so the night wasn't a complete waste. At one point, Shawn, Jamie and I were all seated next to each other. Of course that made taking blinds a little of a hair raising experience.

The $10 1r1a the last 2 nights was interesting. I had to go out Tues and Stacie took over for me and ran it up hugeeee before getting all in with 99 on a 10-9-8 board against QJ for a 900k stack and basically a great chance to win... oops. Last night I ran up to 36k before I ran my 8's into Kings on an unfoldable board. Oh well.

Off tonight and some of tomorrow, spending time with Meg tonight and I got my first fantasy hockey draft tomorrow, which I am admittingly completely unprepared for. I'll do some research tho and I'll be ready.
