I get to the table 13 minutes late. 1st hand I get AQ, lose a small pot. I lose another small one, I win a small one, I’ve got 2900 chips out of 3000 I started with. No big deal.

I pick up AA. Guy raises, I 3Bet, he 4Bets, I 5Bet, he 6Bets, I 7Bet shove. He says “shoot” and calls and I know he has KK before he turns it over. What I don’t know before I see it is that a King is the first card off the deck on vthe flop. I’m out 10 minutes after I sit down. Oh well.

Now I’m playing in the 1PM deepstack at the Rio. I told the story, everyone laughed, and a guy said “when I bust out of a tournament I always try to figure out something I learned”, and I said “yeah, I learned nothing from that”.

I don’t really feel all that bad. I mean it sucks I got unlucky, and that I’m out instead of having a double stack in the first half hour, but mostly it’s just funny. With the cards in that order in the deck, there’s just no other way that hand was going down.

Hopefully I’ll do a little better in the 1PM. I guess I’ve already lasted 3 times as long, and I’ve chipped up a bit.

Oh well.
