So how did you bust out?

[bwana devil]

At 2am on day 1 I had about 8000. I got dealt JJ and was one off of the button. The two guys to my left were very aggressive and if it was raised 1200 to them they tended to treat it like a respectable hand and would fold but a raise of 1500 seemed like someone was trying to steal the blinds so I decided to make my stand and try and double up. I raised to 1500 and sure enough one of the guys reraised me to 3500 so I went all in. he called and had AQ. Flop looked good but a Q came on the turn and I was sent packing.

I somehow managed to stay alive 11 1/2 hourse getting no cards and no flops. QQ (only my second big pair of the day) losing to a shortstack's JJ all-in crippled me. Went out 1/2 hour later when I pushed ATs with 8BBs and ran into QQ.

Disgustingly, I let my stack bleed away in order to make the money (I was in on a freeroll), so once we were ITM I only had 1-2M left. I stayed afloat for a while, then eventually with 2M UTG and KTo, I pushed. Folded to John Gale in the BB who called with AK.

Had 16K at dinner on Day 1. Lost AK to A3 for a couple thousand chips, then lost a few thousand more with 88 on a 732 board against a LAG (almost went with it, he was floating/raising 90% of c-bets), but read strength, mucked and he showed AA. Was down to 4625, raised to 625 with AhQh. 3 callers. Flop A94, 2 diamonds. Both blinds check to me, I jam, weak-tight button overjams (only about 1K more than me), I know I am effed, blinds fold, he shows A9, turn T, river not a T or Q.

I got cooler'd, I think??

1C just after mid-night and I'm at about 9k. 1 limp from the 4th to act. I raise 4X BB from the button with AQs, both blinds fold and the limper calls. Flop comes 5AA

Check, check

Turn is 10 and makes 4 to the flush for me. Check, I bet 1/2 my stack and get called. River is a 3 not my suite. check, I push and get called by 55.

I really thought I was against an Ace that I out-kicked and villan couldn't fold.

90 Minutes into Day 2B I have 9k after starting the day with 14k and gone completely card dead. EP raiser with 35k makes it 1600, flat called by John Smith (who has about 30k) in the CO. I have JJ on the button and jam, EP raiser thinks for quite a bit before folding what he later says is TT, Smith calls pretty quickly with AsQs.

Flop is a pretty sweet AhJsTd, but the turn is the 9s giving him 33% of the deck as outs, and out I am when the inevitable Kc is revealed on the river. The TT guy said he almost jammed to isolate which made me very sad....

[Everybody Lurks]

Miscalculated my M by 1.2 to turn what would have been a marginal push into an awful one with Ace-rag in MP. Called and busted by TT in the SB. Gonna make these moves a bit more slowly in the future [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Key hand: I have ~25K in the 250/500/50 level. Folded to me, I raise to $1700 in CO w/ QQ. BB only caller. Flop AQ8. He checks, I bet 3K, he checkraises to I don't remember how much, I push, he calls with no-[censored]-way AA. I cover him by 2000 chips.

Bust hand: 300/600/75 level, I push A2o in the CO with 10K (M=6). SB calls with AK and holds.

Don't like the A2o push for 17xBB even with the ante.

1a around 1:30 am. Frustrating, card dead day where I was never over 10K (I was constantly behind one of the empty chair chipstacks at two different tables I was moved to!) & much tougher opposition then I am used to in my small town 10/minute level tourneys. Anyhow, down to around 4500 with blinds 200/400 50 ante. Card dead most of the table so my M was around 4. Thrilled to find even an ace dealt to me I pushed with A-5. This megastack stared me down for like 2 minutes like it was the final table and finally called me with AJ.

Still I had a blast in vegas considering I invested less then $50 total on WSOP satellites this year and got in on a $5.50 qualifier.

Not surprisingly, the deck hit me over the head in the side games. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
