Lodge Results for Sunday 05/21/06 - Week 27

I was feeling real good about this game because the few days leading up to the tourney my cards have been holding up well. Start off decent, win a few hands and get up to about T330 and then get AKo, the pot is raised preflop to T30 with blinds at T5-10, then there is an all in, a call and it is to me. I think very hard and I notice the player to my left who raised initially was getting ready to call so I decide to fold. I have never folded AK before, but I felt that I would be up against made hands such as KK, QQ or even AA. Turns out I was against JJ, AQ and AT, but that still was a good fold because 2 of my outs were gone. I would have been out had I called because no A and no K showed up and the JJ took it. About 5 hands later I get 99 and short stack goes all in for T110 and there is a caller. I again see my opponent to my left was going to call so I throw them away. Short stack had 95o, the first caller had QQ and the other had AQ. Turns out I would have tripled up on that hand because the case 9 hit on the river. After that, I really did not get any cards worth calling the constant raising on the table. After the break I have T155 in chips and the blinds are T10-20 and I am in the small blind. I get QQ and push all in and my opponent to my left calls with AK and catches his K on the turn and I am done. Later he gets taken out by AA and he lost over T1200 in chips in two hands.
