2 FT's but disappointment

By lukaluka05 - Sep 26 2008, 06:35 PM

 FTP NL 6Max - I played a great touranment. I made the FT and lost on this hand. I raise UTG with AK 2.5x, MP calls, BB reraise 3x size of my raise, I think for a bit and shove, he thinks for a while and calls with JJ. I lose race. I would have had a good chip lead. I was maybe 3rd-4th in chips at a pretty even FT and tangled with chipleader. I'll probably post that hand on 2plus2 for some advice. I honestly think I could flat, fold, or shove there so I'm curious to what people say. I figured it would be a race but my shove would put the pressure on him. I think because he was CL he figured he could gamble and if he was wrong would still have decent chips. I made a huge bluff at one point for a big pile of chips. Button raise 3x I reraise 3x with AQo he calls, flop K,3,5dd, I bet half pot thinks calls. Turn 6 and I shove it all in. He tanks and timebanks out. Says he folded KQ. I made another bluff with Q8 I raise UTG and get flatted by a guy flop is K,10,6 I bet almost pot he calls turn is a 6 and again I shove and he insta folds. I thought he was just floating me to take pot on turn. Anyway, I got called on a couple shoves where I had turned trips (with board pairing) so I think it put my table a little off as to what I had when I was shoving. I was disappointed to lose late with 77 vs A5 with 9 left for a big pot. Then I had AQhh on button and raised and boom comcast disconnect and I lose that hand (either to reraise or a call and time out) and of course AK to JJ so 6th place unfortunately.

UB PLO Rebuy - This is sick as I said I wasn't going to play it but I did. I'm actually playing well for once and not donking and also hitting flops and having hands hold. I'm in chip lead with 7 left over twice the chips of 2nd place and comcast goes out. Well this time for a good 45 mins and by the time I was back online I had blinded out into 5th place. Pretty gross Comcast couldn't even comp me a years internet to make up for the money I lost. I'm waiting for a service techinican as we speak, of course internet is on now and he'll come back and think everything is grand, then tomorrow I'll disconnect during another FT.

Cake NL Rebuys - Played well during rebuy periods but made two bad plays. A donk limps UTG and I limp button with J8ss. Flop J,x,x donk half pots, turn, x donk half pots, river another baby card he puts all in which is half pot. I felt like I was priced at that point and called to see QQ. The guy played terrible during rebuy and I didn't give him respect but even donks pick up big hands. I could have raised flop and maybe saved myself some chips or just folded turn when he didn't slow down. The other atrocious play was I limp in LP with 55 after 1 limper, flop is 4,4,3 cc and limper bets half pot. I just want to see if draw gets there and call to see A on turn, he bets half pot and I call. Right there I should raise or fold. River is J or Q and he bets half pot and I bluff all in. Of course he has to call with A6 because he was priced in. If I wanted to bluff on turn he would have some fold equity. So poorly played by me.


Come through for me today Comcast....or I'm getting crappy DSL
