Wow. First post ever in this forum but just had to do it.

we are 8 hours into the tourney which pays 18 out of the ~ 160 who entered.
We are on the bubble. I'm about 11/19 in chips with 125K.

Blinds 4K/8K 1K Ante

Hero Dealt A

UTG raises to 18K
Hero ships
Villain Re-shoves 160K
UTG folds.

Villain Shows A

Flop

Q

Turn

River

Bubble no money.
8 hours of perfect play down the drain.
bad beat.
Huge crowd of people scream loudly.
would have been above average and only one other competent player at my table.
Guy who took my chips came in 2nd.

Blah poker

Fold pre dude, you dont want to put your tournament life on the line with just one pair, esp on the bubble

Solid playing man, horrible beat to knock you out.

My advice would be is to turn this into a positive. Do something you never would have done if you had taken that pot down.

Maybe donate a few bucks to a childrens charity, buy a book that you have been meaning to read and actually make the time to read it... do something different !!

Bad beats happen, you will always recall the story. Wouldn't it be nice to team up the tale with part 2 of the story where you decided to switch things up and do something different that you otherwise may not have done and make it into a happy story.

GL in your next tourney, some run good cannot be far away. Cheers.
