This one was sad. On the 24 hands I had a VP of 8 and the last hand was the 1st decent one I had. One player has been in many hands (VP 50) and sucked out several times already; he rarely folds. I'll do the last hand 1st. I certainly could have folded earlier and there were indications that likely I should but those weren't exactly the ones that won the hand in the end.
Hand 24 I have 1209 in chips, mostly blinds loss, am SB w/Js Jd. Best hand I've seen so far. Six of us are left, one short stack w/790, another near me w/1295, and the two leaders w/3195 and 4975 (the one who has been sucking out w/poor cards). UTG limps in w/60, BT (chip leader) calls and I raise to180, all call. Flop 6d 9h 3h. Ok for my J's. I bet 300 into the 720 pot, BB goes all-in raising to 610, UTG folds, BT & I call. Wondering if BB has bigger pocket pair or worse, a set. Turn 7c. BT bets 180 and I call.
The problem here for me is I know BT bets on junk, but I don't know if he may have hit something and my J's are still good based on what I can see. A flush is possible, an odd-ball straight is possible. River Kc. Grrr, an overcard to my J's. BT bets 390 which puts me all-in when I call (my last 320). I don't like making the call and am pretty sure I have a losing hand, BUT I don't feel like struggling with 320 chips either at this moment. BT shows 4h 5h having hit a straight on the Turn. BB shows pocket 10's, so I had him beat. About the best I think I might have done with this hand was to fold when the BB went all-in. That would have left me with 810 chips. Still a tough grind, but better than 320.
They are now on hand 72 and same 4 are still there. Very loose player still had a modest chip lead.
It's over. He knocked out the 3rd player w/pocket Q's ( a decent hand for a change) and hitting a set vs their AK that only hit an A. Then he ask if the other player wanted to split and they settled on a very small difference between 1st & 2nd.
Looking through my earlier hands I don't see any that are really worth commenting on, so will end this one here.
