What A Sick Beat! (Pt. II)
Ok motherfucker.
Here we go again. I hate posting these bad beat hands, but right now, I can't think about anything else. My routine is simple: win money to play MTTs at a cash game... play the MTT. This happens everyday. I can beat cash games. Yea - just like everyone else, I swing up and down, but on average, I am a + EV player.
Earlier today, I played $1/2 and $2/4 on Stars to make some entry-fee money for later on tonight. I did well. I killed $2/4 6Max multitabling and make a decent $120. Everything was going well. Solid hands held up, and usually - that's all it takes to win on the day.
Later, in the early evening, I lost most of it back playing the exact same game. Ok, it happens. Runner runner flushes, river two-pair, etc etc. Easy come, easy go. Either way, I'm still up on the week. Since I was able to get an earlier start on tonight's festivities, I was able to get in the Stars $25,000 Guaranteed NLHE MTT. This is a $10/1 rebuy tournament. I haven't played a R+A recently, and I was so excited.
Early on, the tournament went well. Before taking the immediate "rebuy," I doubled up against a maniac! Nice. I didn't see much change until I felt like gambling w/ AQ on a AJJ flop. With two minutes to go before the end of the rebuy period, I decided to push... insta-call, I run into AJ. LOL. Oh well. Rebuy + Rebuy. Now I'm in for $30, but I have T$3000.
I ended the first hour a T$2900, and after taking the add-on, I was at T$4900. Not a GREAT stack, but it was more than enough w/ the blinds at 75/150.
Nothing happened for a while. I got COMPLETE garbage for close to two hours. By some miracle, I just kept hanging around. The right cards would come at the exact right times. When I needed big-stack BB's to fold, they did. I kept myself around 10BB's for the majority of the tournament (after the 1st hour).
Once I was able to double up, I was able to breathe again. I managed to double again, and now things were good. With a total of 1331 entrants, I got ITM! Nice. Once we hit ITM, I was in "ok" shape. Things weren't great, but I liked my tight table image.
The blinds were increasing. I haven't seen a hand...
Again, the blinds are going up. I still, haven't seen a hand.
Then, I happened upon Queens. There was a raise from EP, and the all-in re-raise (not much more) was a no brainer. If I win this hand, I have a top 50 stack. If I lose, I'm utterly crippled. Here's the hand (I tried to clean it up as much as possible):

What kind of river card is that? Unless I'm an idiot who can't count outs, he just hit a 3-outer on me. WOW. After last night's beat (see yesterday's post!), and this, I'm taking it up the ass this week. That's twice, I was able to get my money in with the BEST of it, and lost desperately.
Over 90% favored to win. Again.
LOL. Thank you sir, may I have another?
Of course you can asshole... tomorrow's another day. :)
I did have ~T$8k returned to me upon losing. The next hand, I get JJ(!) and push. I was called and doubled up + the blinds. Huge. Now I'm back in the high $20's. The NEXT hand, I get KJo, and figure for a push. With 4 BB's, I'll finally gamble w/ a mediocre KJo. Besides, I had first-in equity in middle/late position. A weak ace called, and high card wins.
As for the bottom-line, I had $40 invested in the tournament. 91/1335 (not too bad?) paid $89.xx. Meh.
