LOL donkaments (main event)
 

I [censored] hate tournaments.

Beat: Am out of the main event the first hand after the dinner break. I essentially get 30k in chips in the pot with KK vs. A9s on a 289r board. Ace on the river ([censored] you Barry).
The players there were such donkeys. Oh well, maybe next year.

Brag: Still in Vegas to party it up and drink my sorrows away. Went to Body English on Wednesday night and the host gave us a free bottle of Kettle (there were 4 of us) and a table in the middle of the dance floor.

Variance: ummm - it's 120 degrees here and the cash games are ridiculously soft?

I'll try to post later after tonight if I'm conscious...

what were the blinds at?

people really are impossibly bad at poker.

Re: LOL donkaments (main event)
 

You think that's bad?
I was in a $1 re-buy turbo tourney and lost to AJ with KK pre-flop.

Re: LOL donkaments (main event)
 

Here's the hand:

10 handed table.

Blinds 200-400 Ante 50 (level 4)

CO w/ 50k raises to 1500, folded to me in blind w/ KK (~28k), I raise to 4000 (a little smallish).

CO calls.

flop (~9000). 289r. I bet $7k, he thinks for 5 minutes and pushes in. I quickly call. He flips A9c, A on river for a loss.

I had AA-KK 5 times today in 6 hours of play. I only won two of those pots. [censored]...

Re: LOL donkaments (main event)
 

seriously what is the moron thinking when he pushes there?

i mean im so often flabbergasted whn i read HHs from main event.

its like a 5 dollar online tourney

Re: LOL donkaments (main event)
 

Yeah, the overlay there has to be nice if you're decent at poker. I'm more of a cash game guy, but I'd play in this event again - it was sooooo soft. The tourney started great for me because the 5 seats to my left were empty for the first half hour. I literally had the button 6 hands in a row at a 5 handed table every round.

Re: LOL donkaments (main event)
 

man the button 60% of the time at your table? I think there's prop bets made on stuff like that... sucks your ME ended so abruptly, there's always next yeaaaaaar...

Re: LOL donkaments (main event)
 

Can't believe people put up $10K to play in the ME when they're that bad....it irritates me a lot.
