BPT event #6 ~ Courtesy of POKER.COM



Close but no cigar. Finished 7th 3 spots shy of making it to the
BPT Finals. Still have 3 cracks at it.

Was shortstacked, down to about 3xBB SB 300 BB 600
moved All In with JTo and got called by QQ and AKs.
I am SO DEAD :lol:

A few hands earlier, I was dealt J7o in the BB and PapaHun, who now have won 3 BPT final tickets, went All In and I didn't want to call but I felt I needed to. So I did. IIRC, I had to call about 1300 more leaving me with about 550 if I lost the hand.

He had A2o and Ace High was good.

I think I played alright. Didn't make too many mistakes.
Bring on the next event, Baby!

Blogger Poker Tour Grand Finale Awaits!

Hand #4994001469

Dumb people stalling and raising when we get close to a milestone hand

Missed it by 281 yesterday.Close but not close enough.Some peeps were off by only 10.

This hand cost me the tourney. 2 minutes before break. Hand for Hand just over. I get pocket 8s in EP or MP. Have 26xBB. Decided to move All In. I've only played 3 hands in the last 2 orbits I think. Was busy over at the other table chasing the milestone. Guy who has me covered not by much calls with AJo. And an Ace falls on the
river and I finished 63rd out of 452 entrants.

I close down the lobby and focused on the milestone hand. It was at Hand #4993997849

So far haven't had any luck hitting the milestone hands but did manage to
pick up a few coins here and there.

May the flask be with you!

Bad Week, Card Dead, Cannot Win

This has been a pretty shitty week.
Been card dead at every site I've played at. Forced to play my D game.
The cards has been so bad I'm seeing the flop btwn 11% and 25%. And when I actually get a hand, it doesn't hold up. QQ runs into AA, KK runs into AK and Ace comes on flop. I simply cannot win. Plus numerous suckouts by total dogshit players. [As Qs]flop goes 92Q, made a pot size bet and guy goes over the top and I call. The Focker flips over 7c5c with 1 club on the flop. Turn is 6h. River is 8h. Down to 4xBB and near the bubble, get dealt pocket 9s...goes all in and got called by someone with QQ. It's been one of those weeks.

I think I should've moved all in on the flop.
or better yet, just fold the crap PF.
Although, it's the best crap I've seen in awhile
