tough break on that set over set hand, @Steamtyme. that gets me every time!
Yeah all I could do is laugh. I'm never not going broke in that spot. I took solace in the fact that I was behind from the start so it's easier to live with. Better than the night before where I got it in good 5X only to suffer some of the grossest beats ever.
AA flatting from HJ (2.5BB) , with 1 caller before me and BB jams (29 BB) Magic especially when I see 24 of diamonds. He runs out a straight
Has the nerve to pretend he was just trying to get knocked out, and not just being a donk jamming assuming it would get through.
i'm out in 10th place, at least i made it past the points bubble, just barely.....
I saw you make your last stand. Not much you can do there.
heh thanks, 5 people left. Im in last now.
And that's me. Thanks everyone. Good luck
Good run buddy. Yeah FT situations need a bit of balance. Especially if you are chip leading, better to let the smaller stacks knock themselves out fighting for pay jumps and/or position and only getting into spots that are really good for you, position wise and strong hole cards. Then again on a really passive fold heavy table you can mix in there and steal blinds.
Either way congrats.

so frustrating. another fun poker-filled sunday!
Congrats on both. My Big BTC run was annoying, I had great playable hands early that fell flat and left me very short.
I hate pocket Aces. Every time I get them I lose, unless I go all-in right away. Yesterday was no different. I didn't want to go all-in in the beginning of the game, so I just raised a bit pre-flop, and was called by Goethe and SuckMyChips. Then I raised almost 10 BB after the flop, thought it would be enough for the villains to fold, but this was what happened:
Probably Goethe decided to bluff, and SuckMyChips ... well, I thought he had had pocket Js, 7s or 9s, so I folded. (I'm dying to know what he really had though.

That's how I lost more than 20% of my chips in the very beginning (with pocket Aces!).
That's tough you might have been up against a flopped straight or yes a set, but tough to say with no 3-bet pre. I likely would have played the call, you might have been up against KK,QQ or even Top Top. Either way good run.
See everyone next week. This video will be a bit clunky for whatever reason at the 2.75 hour mark it stopped recording saying maximum length. I missed about 20 minuted I think, but got the end with a second recording. I'll get it up sometime this week.
