[MattSuspect]

so sick.

I just made a huge mistake to lose, I played perfectly was 5/26, finished in 26th.

(Technical poker explanation: Wow. I cant hate myself anymore. I didn't see that Issaac had opened. I just lost a small pot, got dealt qjs. I wanted to fold, because my overanalytical mind is like "they will think im tilting"... so I open (I just threw chips out there) which I thought was an open, so it happened I called utg's raise (the chipleader) I still have no idea he is in hand, Im seat 2 and cant see him. I get what I think is two callers. And I bet flope, "dealer: you need 1k more to call" "oh [censored], didnt know he was in hand". (flop was 247 two of my suit) turn is my queen. I [censored] up for the third time by not checking the turn, bet 300k, think he is making a move, and realize if hes not I have outs, instacall. he flopped a set. I bust out at 26th and am so pissed because I would have just mucked qjs if I knew he had opened utg. I can't express how dumb I feel. I h ad 1m in chips. )

Thanks.

sorry dude, you're a good poster and I was very entertained by this thread while stewing about choking in a much smaller tournament.

What happened sucks, obviously, not sure what else to say except that everyone's made this kind of mistake, it's not horrible or dumb, you were just unlucky to have it happen at a bad time and to catch the wrong flop/turn for the situation.

Congrats on finishing as high as you did.

Thanks man, Im still beating myself up about it, and its probably really annoying to anyone listening, reading the action today I could have folded to top 10. I played the 1500 today and couldn't bare to watch the action across the room, so donked off my chips in short order. Then donked off another 1500 at blackjack.

After my 5% swap, I think I am hopeful to leave here even.



Self depracation aside, thank you all for the good wishes and consolation. They do mean something.

Peace,
IndieMatty
