Fairly Deep in 10+R
Quick post here. I played the big $10+r on stars tonight and went pretty deep to get 15th/1527 for about $500. I had the chip lead for a while when there were between 100 and 40 people left but I went pretty card dead and became a semi-shortstack. I finally got all my chips in when the SB (who had jammed when everyone folded to our blinds about a bagillion times already and I had 6-high each time) once again jammed for 650K with the blinds at 20k/40k. I had KQo, looked him up for my entire 560K stack, and lost to his 67s. This was a bit disappointing to finally pick this guy off and still lose (I knew what he was doing the whole time, I just never had a hand to take a stand with). This pot also would have had me in 3rd place by a small margin with 15 left. Weak.
Other than this 10+R and the 20+R on stars that I ran today and didn't do anything in, I really haven't been playing too much. School should be keeping me pretty busy this quarter, but I'll update when I do get a chance to play (hopefully weekends or something).
Another thing. I folded top pair 2nd kicker to a flop bet during the 10+R tourney in what was probably the key pot for me. With blinds of 3k/6k, I make it 18K in MP with AQo (I start the hand with about 250K). A fairly active player (has about 220K to start the hand) makes it 48K from the SB, I call. I started this hand with the chip lead and he was in 3rd place BTW, which definitely affects the dynamic of the hand. The flop comes AJx rainbow, he jams for 166K. I go into the tank and eventually fold, he shows AKo. I almost never fold in this spot, but I had a really bad feeling and I was right. Good for me. Dangit, I just remembered how well I played tonight and that I still didn't get a huge score. Why can't I get just the few more breaks that I need to win one of these fucking things?
Oh, and I played against TJ Cloutier in this tourney. He was hovering at around 10BBs when we were down to 4 tables or so and he was in "move in or fold" mode the whole time. I also stole his blinds with 93s. Sweet.
