I'm not sure why I am taking this HUGE risk with my roll, but I just felt like it.

Why I shouldn't play:
1. I've been running bad
2. I've been playing bad
3. I'm a little sleepy

Why I should play:
1. ............

I'm glad the straight didn't come or I would have been in huge trouble. Value bet the river hoping he just had any pair and got a couple hundred more out of it.
I think if this hand played out about 10 hands later, I would have been a little more aggressive because i found out he's pretty aggressive and stupid. However, at the beginning of a tournament, you really dont want to lose with AA against a small set, so I played it a little passively on the turn especially after his check/raise.

Hand 20: J4o from SB. One caller late position and me. Flop J 9 4, check he bets 30, I call. Turn check, he bets 120, I min raise, he folds. Maybe I should have let him buy it again on the river. =/

Hand 21: KQ. Call from late position with 2 callers ahead. SB raises to 150, one call and I call. Flop A Q 10. SB bets 180, one call, I call (backdoor nut flush draw too). Turn comes blank, All in, call, fold. Caller turns over KJ. $3425

Hand 34: Made $20 by knocking out a short stack by making an awesomely small bet on the flop.

Cool. Tournament just got $20 cheaper for me to play. Only $109 left to recoup.

Hand 40: Good read and stole a pot on the turn from a bettor.

Hand 41: 22 folded to a raise. Hand comes out: 45264 WOULD HAVE STACKED AA damnit!!! I could be at 10,000 right now if I called that.
Gotta calm down. Slow and steady baby. Slooow and steady.

Hand 47: BIG LOSS ON FREAKIN LUCKY BASTARD.

I thought I was value betting on the river hoping he was calling with Ac X. If he flopped a pair and the nut flush draw, he probably would have raised at some point in that hand. So, I was right...and I was wrong. It cost me like $1300.

Hand 49: I cant believe I folded this...

It looked like 33. Its the only thing I could put him on. I really cant believe I folded it.

BREAK TIME.

$2535 after calling 2 min raises from BB and SB. It's not time to panic, but I better start accumulating some chips so I can put some pressure on these people. I'm not indimidating anyone with this tiny little stack.

$2215 - keep getting crazy pot odds to call hands...then hit nothing at all. ugh.

Haha..just my luck. Try to make a steal bet or hoping to double up if I get a call and get reraised for 3/4 of my stack. BOO.

EVEN MORE GREAT!!! MOVED TO A TABLE WITH ONLY BIG STACKS. IM SO LUCKY (AND SO SARCASTIC).

New table...
Hand 12: On the verge of a double up and end up chopping with runner runner straight cards for a shared wheel with my dominant ace vs his.

$1745

130 people left. only 3 tables get paid. I'm so short stacked. Need to double up twice to get average. Time to get lucky...
128 people left - the two pros just busted out(chris klecz and eddy scharf)

I think I haven;t played nearly aggressive enough this tournament and thats whats lead to this short stack.

QQ UTG - raise the min and dont even get 1 call. Wtf
AK BB - can i get anyone to play with me?? Nope.
What a wasted set of cards.

someone just busted with 1010 to JJ. just glad it wasnt me.

just picked up JJ and have a strange feeling im gonna lose to QQ or KQ.
feel like i just lost to KQ on a flop of K 9 4. I just know it but im pot committed so im gonna call.

omfg. ok, i would have gladly just lost to KQ and just got out flopped. K 9 4 and I had JJ. Called his reraise to put me all-in and turns over 66.
if this was live poker, id be in the lead...but this is online and a 2 outer is basically as good as gold. he turns a 6. for some reason, my 2 outer didnt come.

I give up. 118th place. 1 KO. A runner runner chop and a 2 outer FTL. GG.
