Lodge Results for Sunday 05/07/06 - Week 25

I hate pocket kings now... Tourney started off on the wrong foot when I go out on the 2nd hand with AJ vs. A9 and my opponent catches his straight. I have a rebuy so I get my T250 back. Fairly slow until the 1st break where I finally catch a hand with AJ and split the pot with A6 who has the same full house. Blinds are now up to T20-40 and I raise with AQ and get a caller, flop is AQ8 and I go all in and get called so I double up there. A few hands later, I get AJ and go all in and get called by A9 which I hold up again. Blinds are beginning to go up quickly and I keep hovering around T300-T450 in chips with blinds at T50-100. I go all-in on big blind with AJ again and get called by AK. I get my jack and double up to T950. A few more orbits later and I am down to T250 with blinds at T100-200 and I am the button. We have to redraw because we lost both the small and big blind and I end up under the gun!!! I go all in with my Q9 against pocket 8's and I get my queen and now I am big blind. I get KQs and go all in vs KT and double up again. A few hands later I go all in with AQ after a raise and collect blinds and some callers. I am now up to T2100 with blinds at T150-300. I make a foolish call in the big blind when under the gun goes all in for T950 and I have KT and he turns over pocket aces. Two hands later I get pocket kings and I go all in for T1000 and get called by big blind who turns up AT. Guess what?? He catches his ace on the river!!! This is the 4th time I have gone out with pocket kings at this tourney and everytime but once (my opponent had pocket aces) my hand was dominant. I am out at 11th place.
