This will probably qualify as my shortest report to date, with good reason. Anyways, before while eating dinner, I make the comment that since I had two strong finishes in a row, I was due to go out early this week.
Here was my tournament:
Hand #1 - Folded 7-3o
Hand #2 - Raised to 175 UTG with A-K. Flop of Q-J-10 hits. BB checks, I bet out 200, BB calls. Turn is a 10. Check-check. Turn is a 4, missing 2 potential flush draws. BB bets 150, I raise to 400...BB raises to 800. At this point the alarms should be going off that something is awry here, but I jam all-in for remaining of 2400 stack. BB calls with J-10 for the boat, gg me.
In reality, while most players go broke there, there were 2 spots after the river that I could have stayed alive...and saved some chips. The first bet of 150 after the river is giving someone 6-1 to call - really should have just flat-called here and cheaply paid the BB off. After the 2nd raise, however, is when I really needed to slow down and either fold or just call and pay him off...while still holding half your stack. Misread by me...thought maybe he had trips or K-high straight, while the boat was never under consideration.
Cash, errrrrrrrrrrr, Side game went better. Tripled up by initial $10 buy-in, left $5 (give or take a quarter or 2) up...making a little coin better than not at all.
