Losing Key Races

By lukaluka05 - Oct 27 2008, 11:52 PM

 Well, I'm happy with my play today things just didn't go my way. Lots of deep runs though. I did play 2 75$ tourns and it didn't work out.

FTP 75$ 6 Max - 2/3 of fields is gone and I 3x with JJ and BB calls, flop is 9,8,5cc I bet half pot and he raises. I very drawy board so I shove to see KK. Nice play by him, I make a little note in the box for him at that's that.

FTP PLO 75$ T Sat - 1st is sattie seat worth 535 and 2nd, 3rd pay as well. I have 2 plus stacks so far and raise with J452double suit on button and both blinds call. Flop is A,6,7 and SB makes PSB. BB folds, I have double his stack and I doubled through him once on loose play by him. I shove and he calls with AK6x, I have flush draw and up/down st8 draw but miss. I double again later and with 6 left I face a LP raise and SB calls and I call in BB with 7789 double suit. Flop is J,10,7 flopping me nutz and SB makes PSB. I could just flat to see turn as AKQ9 will counterfit my st8 sometimes but I shove to iso the guy and I'm in good shape to see KQJx. 7 outs to fade. Turn bricks and rivers 9. That killed me. Then I have 11 bbs and limp UTG with 9756 suit UTG and one limper and BB makes PSB. Smells like AA and I like my hand vs AA. I mean this is a turbo and I am way behind so I like to iso and gamble. He has AA22 and flop is 7,4,x giving me lots of outs but I miss.

PS OHL 5$ Rebuy - Made FT again but busted 9th. Short stack makes PSB from cutoff and I raise to put him in with KK52 and lose to AA108. Then I'm in BB with Q785 and flop is Q,10,4 and it checks around and turn is 7, I make PSB and two callers and river is 4. I lose to AK42 for rivered trips.

FTP OHL 5$ Rebuy - Busted on FT bubble, I was chip leader for a while but lost a few pots and couldn't double when this fish kept calling with marginal hands and chopping with me and then he finally two out scooped me for a min cash.

UB NL 33 Rebuy - Played well but ran AK in AA. No problem eventually build my stack back up. 14 or so left and I raise AK UTG for 3x, an aggresive player 3x's me in MP. Now I've been hating AK lately but I can't fold here to this guy. I shove and he calls with 1010 and I lose race. I would have been 3rd in chips but I bust for no cash.

Cake NL 27 Rebuy - Playing pretty good and then again lose AQ to 1010 late in tourn and face a raise later with 10 in BB with 13bbs left. I shove it and lose to KK.

Cake NL 33$ - 23 left and I shove with QQ after 2 limpers (and 20bbs) and guy behind holds AA. Min cash.

UB PLO 11 Rebuy - Min cash in 10th place. I make PSB UTG with AKQ5cc as the short stack and get called by QQ68 and don't get there.

Oh, I played one other 75$ on FTP the Holdem PL. I thought I was going to be way below is guarantee but 50 joined during later registration to cover it. Anway another deep run and this. In the cutoff this guy takes is time to 2.25x it and SB calls. I have A10hh and love a squeeze here because I think CO is week. Anyway I make PSB which is 7K leaving me 3K behind. The guy flats it and flop is baby cards, I put my last 3k in and he calls with 44. I just can't believe he couldn't find a fold for 44 there. I hadn't been out of line at all. I mean why is he just flatting? I have 3K behind? Is he set mining? Just weird. So busto there maybe 18th or so of 98.

I guess we'll leave it at that. I'm happy running deep in 5 or 6 tourns just none of them deep enough!! A couple hands go differently and I'm looking at a nice days porfit.

Totally know how you feel, ran deep at least 5x in the last week or so and all have ending in 13-40th place.  All tourneys from 1-5k runners.  Keep at it and you'll cover your buyins with one big win.
