Decided to try out a 300 FTP tourney that pays the 1st 6 a $75 token.
Depressing end!!!! But I'll get to that later. Hand 2 I took my 1st hit. Except for maybe my bet on the River I feel I did OK.
Hand 2. I have pocket J's (Jd Jh) in CO position. Action folds to me and I bet 3 BB (90), BT calls & SB & BB fold. Flop 2h 10h 5s. I bet approx 1/2 pot (110), BT calls. Turn 7d. I bet approx 1/2 pot again (200 into 445 pot), again BT calls. River Ks. Darn an over card. I decide to make a min bet, mainly because I don't know if the BT has a K or not and I didn't want to put myself into too bad shape this early in the tournament. BT raises all-in w/1085 chips. If I call & lose I'm done. This has been one of my bad playing areas - when the other player makes a big bet with a likely winner showing on the board, I call & am dumped out. I think about it for awhile and decide to fold. BT shows Ac 9s. They had nothing but possible high card. I was bluffed. Grrrr BUT all to often, as I said, this is where I end up calling and losing; more often than not that other player HAS THE GOODS!!
Hand 27 I was switched to another table and with hand 31 and Ah 10h I'm able to double up and get back to our starting chips of 1500. By hand 44 I was back down to 1165 chips, but hand 45 things started out looking real good!
Hand 45: I'm HJ position with pocket A's (Ad Ac). Ah, a chance to pick up some chips I hope. UTG folds & I decide to bet only 2 BB (120) so I don't scare everyone away. CO & BT fold, SB raises to 330, and BB folds. This looks like my opportunity so I re-raise all-in and BT calls. They show As Kh. So far so good, BUT then it all QUICKLY WENT SOUTH. Flop 3s Ks 8s. They now have a flush draw as well as paired K's, but I could still win! Turn 4s. I'm done!! I can't win!!! The River adds salt to injury: 7s. Why couldn't it have been five diamonds? five clubs? So much for building up my chip stack, I'm down to zero. :-(
