I'm in about 7th position, 1st is $6,000 which would be very nice to my BR obv. I have ducked and dived, attacking pots where I can.But have observed this one guy whos chipleader raising everyone , I mean hes hoyt corkins but online, getting away with everything. I haven't found a spot to double up but I know my time is coming.

Cue the situation, I have A-Q in lp. He is in the small blind, I raise to $4,200 with bb at 1,600 and my stack at about $31,000 he insta shoves, I call him so fast I know I have my man. He turns over J-10 off suit, and the flop falls K-Q-9. That pot would have put me in 2nd place, and tbh any of the top 5 is nice payouts for 4 hours work. Sigh. I say in the observer I waiting him for to give me his chips, and he responds "Sorry, I thought you were attacking short stack in bb" to which I reply "dont be sorry, just enjoy your luck. You're living proof any donk can win at poker."

I am pleased with the way I played but disapointed with the result, $200 is a bit of a slap in the face for my efforts, and playing well alone but getting meagre results don't pay the rent. Still, got few tournaments on later, so hopefully I can do something.


Sorry to bore you, just had to get that off my chest before i broke something.

I really admire you guys who attempt to make a living playing MTT's.
