Hey guys what's up, searched through 2+2 wasn't sure where to post this so if it's removed to a diff location what the hell. Since it's a question posting it here maybe fine. Pretty sure everyone has one of those stories you always wanted to tell so maybe this your chance because I got one of myself.
When I was broke ass heading to a live WPT tournament I've won thru a satellite starting with 50 points qualifier. Making it thru 700+ players and getting the boot at 45th was awesome because I was nearly broke playing in this tournament and cashing over $10K. "My Mistake", shoving with my AQo in late position to see that the blinds didn't seem interested to play so I thought I could steal the blinds since we're deep in the tournament. The dealer beside me to my left had another player to his left had me blind. Got called by the BTN and turned his QQs. That was terrible, big mistake by reading the table wrong. It was a long day and it was 7 minutes left for the end of day 2. But went home with over 10 Gs when I had little under $200 going there was awesome. Still today that hand haunts me, I think to myself what would of happen if I seen the guy that was hiding behind the dealer and if I didn't try to be a bully. Different story for sure.
This was back in 2007 or so. I was pretty much busto at the time.
Pokerstars was offering 500FPP satellites to the WSOP Main Event.
Things went pretty well and the tournament was down to 13 players with 6 Main Event tickets to be won. I do have an average stack of maybe 30bb or so. Remember, I´m busto with maybe $300 in my bankroll and I´m so close to making $12.000.
UTG raises, some guy calls, I look down at 55 in the BB and for some strange reason, I decide to neither call nor raise.
Flop comes down J65 with two hearts. UTG bets, other guy raises, UTG shoves and I´m like "OMG this would have been my Main Event ticket for sure". Needless to say, UTG holds JJ and the other guy has QQ. Turn and river brick out and I have just dodged a massive cooler for what seemed like insane money to me at the time.
Things end pretty quickly after that. Soon enough, we´re down to 7 players, with 7th being paid $500. I shove ATo in a blind battle vs a shortie who calls with A9s, flop obviously comes with two spades, but I hold, and that was that.
Still today that hand haunts me, I think to myself what would of happen if I seen the guy that was hiding behind the dealer and if I didn't try to be a bully.
live home game 20NL, I had 45s called some guy allin for like 2€ cause I didn't liked him then some other dude called, he was also allin, and another guy with a big stack. flop comes AK5. big stack bets really small I call. turn 3, check check, river 2, I bet he folds. The allin dudes had AA and KK. was pretty sick
Busto, but in an $11r with $15k up top. TT v AJo for a big chiplead with 18 left, runout T42r, K on turn Q on river, that one was particularly tilting.
Playing 20 BGN ( around 10eu ) live rebuy sat for 600 BGN ME. 44 in the BB, there is a raise from CO to 2.5bb, button calls, sb folds and I call. Flop is 5 4 2 rainbow, original aggressor cbets, button shoves around 12bb, I shove on top of him for 25bb and the other guy tilt calls off with JJ for 23bb or so. Button tables 22 - turn 2, river 5 and im standing there for over 30 seconds with my mouth open as I can't believe what happened.
This was back in the days on Bodog poker. I was playing 10-20 full ring game max buy in is $2000. I had about $9700ish, an other player name Harrington 25 had little over $10k after we both crushed table. Everyone is gone but two of us, I told my self leaving now, almost $8k winning is great(bankroll was about $40k). But for some reason decided play ONE MORE HAND HU. I had button raised to $80 with 99, he called, flop 9 8 5, i bet $150, he raise to $800, i make to $2500, he called. Turn 5, he bet $3500, i went all in, call! River 5. He had 85o. All my chips gone so fast i had looking back hand history. Then i took my $400 dollars Sony monitor slashed on the floor, it was so loud my wife came over to see whats going on. I cashouted my remaining roll the next day. By the way Harrington 25 later became a plo crusher on full tilt big time.
Lost a 24k pot playing 10-25-50PLO at Aria this year, biggest of my life.
