How about this...
Deep into the two Early Doubles on Full Tilt last night. Playable stack of just over 20BBs on one approaching bubble when I manage to get it all in with QQ vs 99 that makes 9 on turn ending my double cash bonus hopes...
Then I manage to go deep in the other and there"s only 30 people left out of 1,400ish runners:
Blinds 2k/4k + 500 ante - we were 8 handed so 10k in the pot before any action.
I"m in BB with 55k. Small blind is shortstack with 10k + 2k SB. UTG is on 130k.
UTG open min raises to 8k but has been min raising every second hand so doesn"t mean anything. Folds around to SB who pushes all in ... 28k in the pot and I have pocket
and decide to push to isolate Small blind...
Under the gun SNAP CALLS with A5 suited (clubs)... can"t even remember what SB has, it was trash though. Flop is rainbow with one club then of course the turn and river are another two clubs to give UTG the flush.
WTF?!?
3 1/2 hours in, almost down to 3 tables and feeling comfortable against all the idiots still left, a decent cash in site ($1.3k for first - decent enough for me and I honestly believed I was going to win it barring a suckout) and then to go crashing out for just under $25...
Erm... thanks?
50p in the tin in Walsall...
