This turned out to be an unlucky Friday the 13th. I played 3 different tournaments. 2 single table satellites and the 7pm nightly tourney at the Rio. Ill keep this short and sweet. I got 4th in both the satellites ($225 and $175) which pays nothing.
I then played for 5 hours in the $340 buyin 7pm nightly at the Rio. I did really well early and pretty much trippled my chip stack. Then my table broke and I was moved to a table with the two chip leaders and I went card dead. The last 1.5hrs of the tournament were spent blinding and anteing and folding. Finaly when my stack was down to 7600 at the 400/800 with 100 ante level I picked up AKs. This was a welcome site and I just happened to be on the button. Of course I push all in. The SB insta folds and the BB insta calls. BB has AA and the board comes all red. Good game me. Why does this always happen. You wait and wait for a good hand and then when you push the dude in the BB wakes up with the only hand in the entire deck that you dont want to see. Oh well I had fun and my bankroll is still tight.
+$3325 to start the day and I lost all of these ($175,$225, & $340) Thats -$740 for the day leaving me at +$2585 so far for the summer. Im playing online today and maybe tomorrow too. I will keep you updated. Thanks for reading and good luck in all that you do!
