Entrants:30
Starting Stacks: 10,000
Levels: 15 Mins
Blinds: 100/100
I got off to an excellent start, just like last tournament. A few hands in, I picked up A
K
. Some chick opened for 800, and 3 callers saw the flop of 3
A
3
. She did a continuation bet of 1200, I call and the rest fold. Turn came and we both checked. She checked to me on the river, I bet out about 700, she called and turned over Q
Q
.
This was a major pot, and I won a few other decent sized pots to get a very nice stack, I believe I was chip leader for a while. Had well over 100 bb's, about 2.5X the average stack in the room
Then, disaster came again. Just like before, I got sucked out on in a major way. Blinds 200/400. I'm dealt J
9
out of position, called a rasise for about 1k. Heads up to the flop, we see 8
10
6
. I check and the guy moves all-in for almost 8k. I had to call with the mother of all draws, when I do he tables J
7
. Unbelevable, yet another god-awful, mind-boggling all-in from some random donk that I have to deal with. He sees that he's dominated and starts getting up, turn comes a 4
, river comes 9
. Just wow. Another 2-outer on the river, what kind of bad luck is this? I guess that's what it will take to bust me, because I don't usually play bad
Had a shorter stack but nothing to bad, waited for my double up hand and picked up two 9's. Shoved pre-flop and got call by the bad-beat guy with Qs. The queens held and I busted
How long is this bad luck going to continue?
