Well, in some ways I can't complain. I was down to 275 chips on hand 63 and made it back to the money, but not the token. Last hand was the most disappointing in it's results. I feel I played it as I should and got my money in with good cards.
Hand 105. Blinds 250/500. I'm SB w/Ah Kc and 2940 chips. Two players have slightly less then me, 2705 and 2760, and one slightly more 3040. The other two players have 7920 & 7635. It doesn't take much for the bottom 4 of us to move around. Folds to the CO who goes all-in w/7635. He's been doing that a lot with a variety of cards, none really great and has lost a bigger lead he had earlier. He's from Brazil. BT folds and I call figuring I should have a good chance of winning. He shows Kh 8d. Looking good for me. All I need to do is dodge an 8. Flop Qh 5s 8c. :-/ So much for dodging the 8. Turn 4c. River 10c. I get $14 the rest get the $26 token.
There isn't a lot else to say. Hand 19 I gave up too many chips. I was UTG w/As Qs and bet 2 BB (120), it folded to the BT who called. Flop 3c 5c Js. Well one more spade but not much else helpful to me unless the turn and the river can bring me a 2, 4. I check and BT bets 180. I decide to call to see if the turn can improve my hand, but should have just folded. Turn 9c, I check and BT goes all-in. I fold. My chips are down to 1095.
Hand 63 Blinds 100/200 I'm BB w/3d 6s and 875 chips. CO bets 600, BT & SB fold and I call. At this point I don't why I would have called with those two cards. Yes the CO might have been trying to steal the blinds and it certainly puts a lot of pressure on me, but I see folding as my only real option. Flop 10h Jh 4d. No help to me. CO bets 400 and I fold, now having only 275 chips. Not looking good here in Mudville.
Hand 64. I have Ah 9d as SB. CO bets 400, BT folds, I call and BB calls. I have a chance to triple up. Flop Jc Kd 5s. Turn 2h. River Ad. I have top pair w/ a 9 kicker. The other two players just checked the Turn & River so I don't know how I stand. BB shows Qs Jd paring J's and CO shows 10d 7s. I win the 825 main pot and BB wins the side pot of 250. I have a bit of life, but with blinds of 100/200 I'm still on very shaky grounds.
Hand 67. Blinds 120/240. I have Ah 2h in HU position. Folds to me and using Loki I go all in. No callers & I add 360 chips to have 1185.
Hand 68. I'm UTG and have Kd Qd. Per Loki I go all-in again. Everyone folds and I pick up another 360 chips upping me to 1545.
Hand 70..This one gets me back in the game. We are on the bubble w/7 players. I'm BB w/Jd 10h. The BT (fellow from Brazil) goes all-in w/9220 chips, SB folds and I call. I've seen him raise like this without top quality cards, so I decide to gamble he doesn't have them this hand either and am hoping for 2 good cards. He shows Qs 8d. My thinking/feeling was correct and he has only one overcard. Flop 8c 8h Ks. He paired his 8. Turn Jc. I pair my J and have top pair at the moment. River 2s and I win. I now have 3210 chips and 2 players have fewer chips than me.
Hand 95 the bubble burst and the rest of us are in the fight for a $26 token, 6th place taking $14. I have 2370 chips and the blinds are 200/400. I'm in 6th place, 5th place player has 2880 and 1st place player has 7685.
Hand 99. I'm down to 1970, in 6th place w/Kh 3d as SB, blinds are 250/500. Action folds to me. This is one of those situation whre Loki confuses me a bit. It doesn't show anything for Kx; highest is Qx plus. I figure Kx is higher then Qx and go all in, BB w/3480 chips calls, showing Ah Qc. At least I have two good cards and one over card. Turn 2s 4s Ks. I pair my K. Turn 4c. River 5d. I now have 3940 chips putting me in 3r4 place but 4th has 3455 and 5th has 3040, even 6th isn't in terrible shape w/1510 chips. One good double up and they are right back in the fray. Number 1 has 2885 and 2 has 7170. It's still pretty much anyone's game.
Hand 105 is just ahead and as described earlier I finish 6th that hand.
