So how did you bust out?

[timm_]

One would think so, but this dude was destined to go broke one way or the other. Just too bad I couldn't get his money when he was giving them away for free like that.

Just a few nutty things he did:
- Managed to build a 10K+blinds pot preflop with 22 (re-raised a raise, and called off 6K or so after the original raiser pushed)
- Check-called to the river with A9o on AT8xx board for what ended up as a 35+K pot.
- Min-raiset a raise that had two callers with 8c3c

The weird thing was, he had shown me a lot of respect earlier, and I was never in a pot messing around (that they knew of, anyway). He folded atleast twice to my re-raises earlier, and both those times I ended up showing big hands.

Nasty way to go in my first ever ME, but hey -- getting to Vegas for $70 and having the time of my life wasn't such a bad deal once I got over the badbeat [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

doubled up early in level 1, then i more or less blinded and anted away most of my chips with couple unsuccesful stealattemps, last hand was 88 i make a standard openingraise and the chipleader calls, flop 662 (rainbow) i bet just below pot and he calls, turn 3 im potcommited and dont have that many chips left i push the rest in and he calls and flips over JJ river was x and im out, but hey i got to play about 12 hours and had a blast.
won a $16 satellite so im not complaining :>

Um, effective stacks? This sounds gross.

yeah it was stupid. i posted about it in the day thread, but who doesn't love to tell their own bad beat stories?

i'm in the small blind (i had been raising fairly regularly since the antes kicked in) with 11k behind, BB covered with like 30-40k total. he was a "cowboy" who was getting wasted from the beginning of the day, and playing ridiculously (incidentally, i would see him later that week -- he was still in on day 4, i believe, with like 400k. sigh.).

anyway it folds to me in the SB, i look down at AK, and say "don't be mad" as i raise to t800. he says "well let me see what i've got first," looks down, thinks for a bit, and raises to 3600. i think for like 5 seconds and push. he thinks for less time than that and calls. i show AK, he busts out a big grin as he shows AT. T on turn. he apologizes. i say that's poker, leave, and go chain smoke in frustration.

Day 2, half an hour after the dinner break.

Card dead all day, my stack has dwindled from 36k to 20k.

I remember my 'M' was 5 so it must have been something like 800/1600 200 ante..

Folded to sb (25k or so) who raises to 4k. I had been at the table for only an hour but he struck me as a weak player.

I push from the BB with As3s. He insta calls with TT.

Picked up the flush draw on the turn, but missed all of my 12 outs. Busto.

I've been beating myself up ever since. This guy was probably too weak to steal, even from the SB. I should have known he had a hand.

I wonder what others think of this. Meh, not good, or awful?

I have about 6k at the 150/300 level. It folds to the SB who makes it 1000. I have JJ. I just push it in since there is already about 2k in the pot. While SB is thinking, I count down my stack and give him the exact count. Then the dealer takes my chips and does another count. Finally after what seems like forever, he says "OK, I call." Because of how long he was thinking for, I think there is no way I have the worst hand and this is probably a coin flip. Of course, I'm wrong he flips over AA...gg me.

Since you were eliminated, did they still enforce the ten-minute penalty for stabbing the guy?

No penalties once you're out... The funniest part was I walk to the rail and get stopped by some guy and the following conversation ensues:

Guy: "Were you at that table over there?"
Me: "Yeah..."
Guy: "My son Matt is at that table!"
Me: "Oh..."
Guy: "He said you won some tournament."
Me: "Yep..."
Guy: "I saw him shaking his head when you got knocked out, did something really bad happen?" (He has a huge grin on his face)
Guy's wife: "Honey, not now..." (Grin fades from his face and I leave as fast as possible.)

OSU,

yes, making quads is much much more fun...I miss it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

sick! what a weirdo!

on another note, it was good to meet you grafyx. you seem like a good fellow. it was interesting seeing our different styles of play at that first table in the caesar's tournament. i wish i were that patient -- i think i'd have more money!
