thrillsoft 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Cool im ice cold haven't had a good cash in over a month now. Well, I wouldn't call these "good" cashes. All small tourey's with low buy-ins. But it has given me confidence in my tourney skills to play more and try to improve up to the higher buy-in tourneys. I probably could have made more money playing cash games the last 4 days, but these tourneys are kind of fun. Link to post Share on other sites

thrillsoft 0 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Well, I just broke my streak of wins/final tables last night. I got knocked out on the bubble of the final table last night. Still an alright cash, but I REALLY wanted a final table 4 days in a row. I had two wins and a 2nd in the 3 days before.I was 3rd short-stack and blinds were high. I had about 10 big blinds and I'm in the big blind. One limper before me. Small blind folded. We both see a flop. I have Q9. Flop 9TJ. I push with a pair and an OESD. This amounts to about 3/4 of the limper's stack. Limper goes deep into his time bank and finally calls with QJ. So it looks like I'm drawing to a 9 to win or a K or an 8 to split. Alas, no help and I'm out in 11th.There were two others that had about 5 BB's and I was sure that I could easily outlast them. But I was really playing to win it and not just squeak into the FT. Still sucks though I know this looks like a bad play. Under normal circumstances, there are so many hands that I'm behind here. However, with the blinds so high and even the big stacks not having more than 25 big blinds. There were almost always big pre-flop raises or all-ins because any play after the flop was going to put you all-in anyway. So this limp either tells me that the limper was slow-playing a monster and really wanted action. Or had a small PP and wanted to wait to see a safe flop before pushing. I really didn't see him limping with a hand like QJ. The tourney situation dictated a big raise or fold this hand preflop. The other problem was that this was the bubble for the FT which meant that we were 5 handed and the other table was 6 handed waiting to combine the two tables. This meant that I had sitting there with 10 big blinds and I WAS IN A BLIND 2 OUT OF EVERY 5 HANDS! I really couldn't just sit back and wait for better situations. I could probably have barely outlasted the two shorter stacks than me, but again. I wanted to win this thing. Just not meant to be I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
