Heys guys
I had a few hours until my next uni lecture, so i decided to grind the $3 45 man turbos on stars for a bit. I had downloaded tableninja a few days ago so I was using that to automatically register me for every sng in the next hour and a half. I loaded up about 20 tables and all was going smoothly. I had the tableninja filter set for $3 45 ( for the $3 45 man turbos ldo).
What happened next was definately not part of the session plan. One HU table opened with me sitting at it so i was thinking "wtf i havnt registered for any HU matches?" So i opened up the lobby and saw that the buy in was for $345.... ah ****. Then i saw 1st place was quadruple the buy in and i realised it was one of those 4 man HU sngs where the winner plays the other winner. Great. That means even less chance of seeing my money back.
Looking back, i think what happened was i accidently opened the high stakes sng tab at some point during my grind and because the filter was for $ 3 45 it obviously didnt filter out the $345 turbo HU sngs. As soon as i opened the high stakes ,tableninja must have auto registered me for the HU sng lol.
So now im playing the most expensive sng ive ever registered for and ive got 20 f**king $3 45 mans running as well.
Anyway, the 1st 3 minutes of the HU match go reasonably ok, with me taking a small chip lead but nothing major. Then the worst thing possible happens, mum calls out saying she needs my help quickly with a real life problem. I should probably add that im 18, so legally allowed to play poker, but my mum hates it so much and she isnt aware that im still playing. So explaining the situation to her would definately be -EV and if i did tell her, she would probably pull the internet cable anyway. So I thought my only chance of winning the 1st round HU match was to shove every hand all in cause mum was getting impatient and "just a second" wasnt going to last me much longer. I thought was that if i somehow lucked out and won my 1st round match before the other HU match was over, it would buy me a bit of time to help mum and hopefully get back in time for the final HU match. It was a turbo structure btw which really didnt help.
Anyway, this is what happened:
Poker Stars $330+$15 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 2 players

Hero (BB): t1560 M = 52
BTN/SB: t1440 M = 48
Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BB with 7
8
BTN/SB raises to t60, Hero raises to t1560 all in, BTN/SB calls t1380 all in
Flop: (t2880) 3
7 8 (2 players - 2 are all in)
Turn: (t2880) 2 (2 players - 2 are all in)
River: (t2880) 5 (2 players - 2 are all in)
Final Pot: t2880
Hero shows 7 8 (two pair, Eights and Sevens)
BTN/SB shows A
Q (high card Ace)
Hero wins t2880
I had just enough time to see the flop, then i lol'd and quickly went to check out what mum's f**king problem was. Turns out our dog had poo stuck to her bum and i had to hold her while my mum cleaned it up (lol fml). That took about 5 minutes and when i got back, my HU final had begun and i was already at a 2700 vs 3300 deficit vs a high stakes stars HU reg (psimalive).
Over the next few minutes, it was pretty even and then i took down a decent pot 88 > 46 to take a 3600 to 2400 advantage. This remained until blinds got up to 100/200. I shoved him down to 2100 vs 3900 and then this happened:

Thank you stars for finally letting me hold with F**cking ace high
So i shipped the 1st place of $1320 and was in shock about how much of a lucky ****** i was to end up in this whole situation.
Beat: accidently register for a $345 turbo HU 4 player sng
Brag: i won it
Variance: mum and the dog helped me win the 1st round match
Variance: HU opponent wondered why i 20 table $3 45 mans while playing high stakes HU sngs.
Brag: I still made a profit from the $3 45 mans even though i was shoving almost every hand to try and bust as quickly as possible so that i could focus on the HU
