Sucking out
I have to vent about this because last week I was sucked out on many times. I played APL tournaments on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and yesterday. I played at a local bar that has their own league on Friday and I played a APPA game on Saturday. Here are the hands I had for the final hand of my tournament life and what my opponent had preflop.
Monday - AKo vs. KK vs. A5o
Tuesday - ATs vs A2o
Wednesday - K10o vs Q9s
Thursday - KK vs ATo
Friday - ATo vs 85s
Saturday 1st tourney - QQ vs K9o
Saturday 2nd tourney - K7s vs 64o (3 handed)
Sunday - AA vs A8s
With the exception of the Friday and Saturday 1st tourney, I was all-in preflop because it was nearing the end of the tournament and I had either less than 3 times the big blind, or I had 4 times and pushed it all in.
Now here is how it ended up....
Monday - A5o wins when he catches his straight on the river. (5th place)
Tuesday - A2o wins when he catches his two pair on the turn. (19th place)
Wednesday - Q9o flops a straight (20th place)
Thursday - ATo flops his ace and I get no help. (8th place)
Friday - I call a raise with the ATo because I was one behind the button. Flop comes AT6 with 1 heart and I bet 1000, blinds are 200/400. Raiser calls as well as 85s (hearts). Turn is another heart and I bet 2500, raiser folds and 85s calls. River is another heart and it is checked to me which I go all-in. She thinks for awhile and then calls asking if I had a higher flush. I do not and that is it for me. I figured she caught her flush, I bet big hoping she would think I had a higher one. (9th place)
Saturday 1st tourney - 3rd hand of the game and I get QQ, blinds are 10/20 and I raise to 220 and get 4 callers. Flop is J87 and I bet 600, two callers, turn is a 6 so I bet 1200 to get any chasers out, one caller. River is a T and I know I am doomed so I bet 1500 and my opponent pushes all-in for 500 more and I call. Chased a GUT SHOT STRAIGHT DRAW to the river!!! (1st one out)
Saturday 2nd tourney - We are 3 handed and I am in the big blind, blinds are 3000-6000 and I have 11000 in chips. Small blind calls and I raise all-in, he thinks and says "well we gotta knock someone out, so I call". He catches his 6 on the turn and I am gone. (3rd place)
Sunday - I was not getting cards, blinds are 200-400 and I have 1500 left. I am big blind and get AA so I raise all-in and get 4 callers. Flop is T97 with 2 clubs and I am worried. Two fold when a 1000 bet is placed and the turn is a diamond, Another 1000 bet and the river comes a CLUB so I know there was a chaser. The person to my right goes all-in and I told her she had any suited ace and she turns over A8 when she was the SMALL BLIND!!! I am out (5 tables left)
Basically the point of this is EVERY time I have gone in preflop with the best hand, sometimes DOMINATING my opponent, yet they catch their cards and take me out.
