Almost a seat in the Party $1M
I played a $10+1 satellite to the $1M Gtd. on Party last night and took 2nd for $180 (only 1 seat). Here is the donk of the day from this tournament. I don't have the HH -- for some reason it wasn't saved in its normal location on my HD and I'm unable to access the server to get it out of my email. It went something like this.
I have a little over 70K, CL has ~90K, 3rd place has something like 50K. 7 handed, blinds 600/1200, ante 75(?). UTG folds, Villian (~90K behind, total donkey CL who has been doing a ton of open-limping) limps UTG+1, Hero (~70K behind) limps with As2s, fold to blinds, SB and BB complete. Flop comes AQQ. Blinds check, Villan bets the minimum (1200). He had been min betting when checked to virtually every time so his range of hands was still, literally, any 2 cards. I raise to 2400, he makes it 3600 (not a good sign, but I'm not folding for the minimum when I'm almost certainly drawing live and we're pretty deep-stacked), I call. Turn comes an A for a board of AQQA, he jams for ~67K.
I go into the tank, thinking that he had to have either AK (which I split against most rivers and lose to the 3 Ks) or QQ (where I have one out) and he's hoping I have an A and can get me all in either chopping (but unable to win) or drawing almost totally dead. I determine that the most likely scenario is that he has an A and hopes that he will either 1) steal the pot from another A or 2) get me to call with a Q. It was so weird because he was doing this against the only guy at the table who could do serious damage to him, me.
So I call and he has Qh4h. WTF?!?!? This is seriously one of the worst plays I have seen in an incredibly long time.
Yea, and I ended up losing to this same guy heads up. This was incredibly frustrating because this guy moved in all his chips for massive overbets SO many times when we were heads up and when I finally had a hand I could call a 20x pot bet with he shows up with a full house against my trips w/top kicker (A8 vs. 33 on a 3488 board). I guess that is part of the element of luck in poker. This guy must've had the tournament of his life to win this thing. He had a VPIP of like 60% and it was all open-limping and flopping miracles. I hate losing to people that play so poorly. I guess it has to happen sometimes though. The worst part is that this guy was from Norcal.
