The most mentally challenging poker night of my life... entertaining.

dsalt · #1 07-28-2007, 01:08 AM

So I had about 1K on bodog because I won a 6K guarantee...I absolutely hate the software, hate playing there, and wanted to withdraw...but I'm not waiting 30 [censored]ing days to get a check for 1k, obviously. Thus, I figured tonight I would reach a few thousand, enough to warrant waiting 30 days for a check, or simply go broke, which obviously would disable me from going through the pain of waiting 30 days for a check.
So...
I started off by putting 300 on some korean against roddick playing in the quarterfinals of a tennis match...it paid 5.8-1, so 300 to win `1750...close match...but thank you sir, down $300.
$730 roughly left...here it goes
*buyin to a 200 6 man sit n go...
*buyin to a 1K max game with $500...
both at the same time
First hand in the 1K max...
(finding a hand and posting it from bodog is like trying to find Joe Hachem not mentioning he's "always in with the best" after a beat...it's not gonna happen.
so, first hand.
Me: AK
seat 2: probably KK, QQ or maybe A-rag
seat 5: AQ
seat 2 makes it 40 to go
seat 5: calls
me: call (should I have re raised? why yes, thanks for pointing that out...)
Flop: A 8 2
seat 2: 75
seat 3: call
me: push, all in (at this point I'm sitting with about 380 if i just call, figured I would shove and pick it up there...or maybe be called by a weak A...
Seat 2: think, thinks thinks...probably plays a couple hands of blackjack while thinking, because after all, this is bodog...Folds
seat 5: INSTANT call, no thinking...Thank you sir, shows AQ
turn: A
river: 8
riiiiight, good call sir.
split it up...ok, up to 600...but should be at 1.3K, about 1.7K from being able to withdraw a check...because I will wait 30 days for a 3K check...sounds reasonable.
anyway, 3 hands later, my 10 10 runs into AK, coinflip...i only win coinflips 48.65458 percent of the time...he flops an A.

So, i'm broke, but in the 200 6 man sit n go...
i win that, thank you, back up to $850

Rinse lather and REPEAT,
this time I plop $600 down into the same 1K max...
and enter another 200 6 man sit n go
floating around 600 in the cash game for the entire time the sit n go is going on...
win the 6 man sit n go...thank you, up to about $1450
literally 20 seconds after I win that sit n go...
(I did find the hand history for this hand, becuase it was THAT bad and I need to remind myself how bad it could be no matter how many 2 outers I lose to in my poker career...)

$1214 pot to him, nice hand sir

well that left me with $200, obviously I need to reach 1K by the end of the night so I am not down any money...
200 10 man sit n go...
thank you for playing other 9 degenerates, but I will take this down as well...maybe my most impressive sit n go win ever winning that after taking the worst beat of my life only minutes before entering...

overall a pretty screwed up way to break even.
I can honestly say I would have rather flipped burgers at Macdonald's while paying THEM minimum wage then break even in this way playing poker, during the same time frame.
End of my story, end of my night.
