Lodge Results for Sunday 02/19/06 - Week 15

Not as big a field as the previous weeks due to weather, but there were still about 60 entrants. I had an average run and was up to T350 at my peak, but then I didn't catch any cards the remainder of the tournament until the first hand after the break. I had just moved tables and there was a huge stack that was playing loose and bullying the table. I look down at KK and call a T150 raise with all my chips about T280. The player to my left calls and the flop comes 9Q4. The initial raiser checks and the button next to my left goes all in. The raiser checks and he has a flush draw, but the player to my left has AA. I am doomed. The turn comes J so I need a K or a 10 on the river, but instead to add insult to injury an A comes and my tournament life is over.
Ironically, I had pocket kings cracked TWICE at a cash game the night before. Once with A6s and once with A9o. I don't think I will feel so confident the next time I see KK. Until next week.
