    Sigh, I just played a $3 re-buy satellite on party for their Sunday $215 buy-in $300k and came 5th with 4 seats guaranteed. That would suck but be okay to deal with if the stacks had been even and then I'd just gotten coolered out but at one point at 4k/8k the stacks were 220k (me), 420k, 320k, 170k and... 8.25k with it being that players turn to post the BB the next hand.

    Obv. counted my chickens before they hatched and was thinking to make sure I looked up what time the tourn. started UK time...

    ...then after about 5 double/triple ups we were all even and I bust shoving QQ SB to BB verses KK with 14BBs @ 6k/12k. Hurts sooo bad.

    Anyone else with worse stories to ease pain?

    I know I shouldn't reply to this post... but it still feels all too real to me so I will.

    About 5 years ago I bubbled a satty on Pokerroom.com to the $25k Bellagio tournament, which at the time may have only been a $15k...

    Regardless... down to 3 players and 2 get seats, with 3rd getting nothing. I get it all in with AA vs. 66 pre-flop and a 6 on the turn...

    I still think about how that could have changed my life... who knows how I would have done that one tournament?

    1500 fpp satty into the $215 HORSE WCOOP event. Was chip leader going into the final table with 6 seats. With 7 left I was 5th in chips and watched 2 short stacks double up. I had less than one BB left but the shorter stack was about to be in the BB for the Hold Em round. I folded JTs and board ran out K-high where I would have made a straight. Despite the BB being up against 4 other opponents he showed KK (nice random BB hand). Two hands later it was my turn in the BB with A7. Luckily I was up against 1 opponent who held AJ. I flopped a 7 but the river was a Jack.

    Fucking lifetilt. I sulked for 3 days about and couldn't even open stars or Tilt. I've always wanted to take a shot at a bigger tournament but I'm too much of a bankroll nit to ever try. That coupled with being mind-boggingly unlucky in satty's just killed me that day.

    Step 6 for the LAPT that gave away 4 packages. We were down to 6 and I was 2nd in chips. 17 out of the next 19 hands there was in all in preflop with no callers. The blinds were getting high and everyone was in push fold mode. Hand 20, I was now 4th in chips but that did not mean much with the blinds so high. I pick up AQ and push for the first time and get called by KK, gg. That was the first call in 18 all ins preflop. How often does that happen? Just two or three of those hands get callers, I would have been looking for airfare. BTW, I grinded my way up from Step 1 so it was a big deal to me. The buy-in for Step 6 was about 4x my bankroll.

    After that tourney, the next 5 or 6 times I got all in with AQ v KK, I cracked the Kings. What did I do to the poker gods that would make them want to tease me like that?
