Well, I just returned from the casino from which has been 3 consecutive days and no Ft's. I finished 18th on monday when my J J was no good vs Q J. Last night was amateur night and my ss AJ was no good vs QQ. Cue tonight - its a sound structure with 5,000 chips and 2 possibly rebuys or addon. I was down to 2,500 shortly after a draw missed and I rebought to get up to 7,500. I managed to stack a shorter stack then mine when my Qc 6c limp on button found A Q 6 flop. He had A-J, and I took his 4,000 stack.

I was up to around 12,500 then when I had Kd5d in late, I limped in after 2 limpers, button came in and the flop came Ks 10d 4d. A great flop, they check I lead 900 into around 1400 , button made it 2,900. He had me covered, I thought to myself I'm beat here for sure, but I have another rebuy, and I have a monster hand with 2 cards to come. Say he has KJ, or something in that region, if i shove maybe he ll fold and even if he calls im in sound shape to take a massive pot and be cl on the table. I didn't want to flat call the 2k and whiff then fold though, I wanted to see both 2 , and folding is out of question during rebuy with this structure blah blah blah, so i shove, he has K-10 and I whiff. Meh. No surprised , I was behind ....for once.

"chips!" I rebuy to 5k. blinds are now 400 and I have no rebuys :(. Bad shape so early on really. Alot of limpers , I find AJ in sb, and make a sensible move and shove all in. They all pass, and I have 6,600. Now we are 2 hands till the rebuy hour is over and a 15 minute break. I find Q-Q. ep limper, she has 2,100 and I am very confident she was weak,I raise more then my usual raise cos frankly the chips out there I alot to my stack now , and I don't want the whole table involved here, so I make it 1,900. Immediate left re raises another 3,500 and a huge stack flat calls. The short stack calls, and now I asses.I have a little over 4,000 , the ss has a very weak hand like J-10 or something so Im beating her, the guy who flat called the re raise has AK. I played with him long and I know he'd shove Aces or Kings in this spot and prolly fold JJ. So it points to an obvious AK. Now, the guy to my left, he's creative at times, but he wouldnt pull a move with my stack against me, I study him and take a minute before making a very questionable but convicted move...FOLD. theres still chips and side pot, flop comes 6-7-8. He shoves , the caller folds his AK. face up. Good read no 1. the ss has Qs2s,good read me. And the re raiser to me, K K. I say "get in" confident I made a miracolous fold given the situation and brick on turn and river.

He proceeds to say "how can you fold when you had like 3,000 left ??" ...while a few others compliment a great pass. I am still up shits creek though with 10 bbs, and 1 last hand for me to see if i can seel my doom. Next hand 10-10, last hand before break. I just shove all in, for 4,200 I beleive and get 1 call. Before turning over my cards, I say " Guys, I folded Qs for this to happen ....wait...." the other guy turns over his cards, Q Q. I say "thank you", and turn over 10-10, I hit a set as does he, I say " good luck fellas" and a spectator says "lucky ciso"......


So I busted out on the last hand of rebuy , and quite funny really. This week I haven't hit any flops, then tonight I flop top pair and flush draw and lose, I was behind but its still funny. Then I make a world class laydown with the Queens , only to be punished by shoving 10s and walking into a bigger pair. I have vowed not to play at that casino till I earn a few my grand online, I haven't finalled for about 8 occasions and I never hold up or get good cards ever.

So, back to online for me, I ll prolly hit some cash tables and play the odd online mtt.


P.S Sorry for any readers if the title got anyones hopes up. It was meant to be sarcastic ,geeky tone.
