Broken Dream And Self fulfilling Prophecy
Filed Under: Poker
As you can see I managed to hold the chip lead in both The Mookie and the 2nd Chance last night. At the time I was going to shoot for a win in both events but it wasn’t to be. In fact a win would elude me all around last night. I would bust right before the final table in the 2nd Chance but take my mad skillz to the final table of The Mookie.
The eventual winner, worldpoker05, would suckout on me twice before reaching the final table as I doubled him/her up on both occasions. At least they put the chips to good use.
Once we were down to the final six it appeared that phlyersphan had my number. I don’t know if she outplayed me or picked up cards at the right time but she always seemed to know when to smooth call my raises and reapply pressure. She had been playing solid up till that point so I was giving her credit for hands. In retrospect I should have pushed back more.
After busting out of the 2nd Chance tourney I looked at the payouts of The Mookie and calculated that I needed to finish fourth to cover my buy ins for the night. Guess where I went out?

You played well last night. World got lucky twice against you and took advantage from that point on. I’ve known him for many years and regardless of the suckouts he is a solid player.
You’ll win one of these before long.

well played, you pushed me off a couple of good hands preflop. i probably shoulda raced you instead of World. it was his night.

Had a great time playing against you. Very well played as usual. Don’t know many more aggressive people than you pf. Well, maybe Garth…hehe.

After slb was ribbing me for my bitching about getting no cards, I went on a little monster streak there where I was flopping sick hands. It felt like I folded for hours before that streak - which was what you ran right into. You could have pushed back, but I doubt it would have been wise just then.
I seem to recall folding a LOT of hands to your aggressive moves prior to that! (Sadly easy to do while holding 10-3off). Twas good playing with you!
