I was doing ok up through hand 59 where I had 10,975 chips. Blinds were 250/500 w/50 ante.

Hand 60. I'm CO w/pocket 10's (10s 10c). UTG+1 limps in w/500, action folds to me and I raise 3 BB (1500). BB who is short stack calls all-in w/their last 830 chips, UTG+1 folds. BB shows Ac Kh. Flop Ad 3c Ks. Nice one for BB who now has top two pair. Another 10 or runner Q, runner J would be nice. Turn 4d. River Js. I'm back to 9595 chips.

Hand 62. I'm MP2 w/Ac Qc; blinds are now 300/600 w/ante 75.  MP1 open raises 2 BB (1200), I call, rest fold to the BB who is short stack and they re-raise all-in w/their last 1788 chips. MP1 & I call. Flop 9h 4d 8s. We both check. Turn 2c. We both check. River 6s. Again we both check. MP1 shows Qh Jd. BB shows pocket 3's (3c 3s) and wins. I'm down to 7057 chips. Two decent starting hands that went bust.

Hand 67. Blinds are now 400/800 w/ante 100. I'm the BTN w/9s 5d.  Action folds to me and I open raise all-in to try and steal the blinds. SB calls and shows Ah Js. Flop 8c As 7s. I have a gutshot straight draw, SB has paired their Ace. Turn 2c. River 2d. I'm down to 2617 chips.

Hand 68. I'm CO w/9c 7d. I pretty much figure I'll go all-in and hope for the best. I could wait for better cards but the blinds & ante's are going to eat me up. Action folds to me and that makes it easy to decide to go all-in and I do. BTN & BB calls. Flop 8h 3d 2s. No real help to me. BB goes all-in & BTN calls. BTN has Ad Qc. BB has As Jh. At least I still have two live cards! Turn 2h. River Kh. I'm done!
