A Brief Session

I was able to put in a session today, basically registered for tournaments between 7-830pm EST or so. I think I played a total of about 8 tournaments, and right now I have 2 left. The $3.30 rebuy, and $27.50 Freeze-out.

I ran pretty deep in the $10 1 rebuy 1 addon tourney, but had essentially 1 bad orbit which caused me to go from top 30 in chips (with about 300 left - 128 paid), to busto.

Hand 1: A bit of background about the table, I have been essentially running over the table. Having taken about 2-3 uncontested pots preflop with a raise. Villain has been at the table for awhile, but I have yet to see any of his showdown hands and I haven't had to showdown too many hands myself. So here we go.

My stack: 60K, Villain's stack: 30K~
With blinds at 500/800 ante 75, villain raises to 2121 from the CO. I re-raise to 7200 from the SB. Villain shoves 50BB and I insta-call.

Board ran out: K 7 6 4 7. KJ > QQ

So instead of having about 90K in chips (would've put me in 5th or so), I get dropped to about average chip stack..and the next hand happens.

Hand 2: A couple of hands later, I'm OTB with 99. I think I might've misplayed this hand based on stack sizes.

MP (stack 17K) raises to 2200, CO (stack 24K) calls, I re-raise all in. MP folds and CO insta-calls and his KK holds.

Given the stack sizes, I think I might've been better off to flat preflop and not create a big pot preflop with just a mid-pair. In a sense I turned my 99 into a bluff in this spot, where as I should've played it with more caution in position. I originally chose to re-raise all-in, due to the fact that any 3-bet would already commit me to a 4-bet shove by either the MP or CO.

Hand 3: Very next hand, open shove with A5 with about 6K, gets called by the button, SB reshove, BB (which is less than SB) calls, button calls. It was A5 vs. A2 vs. 98 vs. 66. 66 rivered a set, 98 turned a pair and I was out.

Still in the $3R with 50BB or so, and the $27.50FO with average stack close to the bubble. Going to try my best to make something out of the last two tournaments.

Edit 1: Almost as soon as I clicked "publish post", AJ > AK on a AJx flop in the $27.50 and I'm down to 7BB

Edit 2: Doubled with AK < QJ to hopefully not bubble. Just folded AQ on a ATT89 board in the $3R

Edit 3: Shoved A3 into TT to bust the $27.50 FO.

Edit 4: What a spectacular way to bust out of $3.30R - KK < 66 < JJ
