So I have played 5 tourneys at the Club in the last three weeks, which is not a ton compared to the regulars, but not a small amount either. I am stil number 8 on the leaderboard with only one cash. In the last four of five tourneys, I lost with 10s, JJs, and kk to qj, and kj to qj in a sickening fashion. I do complain about bad beats...it just really sucks to work hard to stay above 10x the bb with a tourney that has lightening rounds of 15 min, just to lose three hours later, right before the money to either a three- outer or when you go in as an 80% favorite.
I complete accept that poker is about probability and math and there are times when people suck out. I have been the sucker outer on many occasions. But, considering the level and quality of play at the club, it is torturous to get out at final table in 4 out of 5. But I do make the final table in 5 out of 5 appearances at the club. So I guess that will be my proliferal silver lining =)
In the last four days, I am 2 for 4 in the 2pm. Yesterday, I lost with top two v. a set and I put him on a set. So I check called turn and river and lost 1/2 my stack as opposed to my whole stack. I definitely should have folded but it was such a harmless board, and players in that tourney are so bad that it was hard for me to put him specifically on a set, so many hands I beat with my AK/top two. I was not really upset about that; in fact, I was proud I minimized my loss. Essentially, any other player would have been all in. Today, I lost set over set, which is unfortunate for me. I played really well the whole tourney. Nothing I can do.
In any case, I am excited about my future in poker, even with all the things I complain about, I cannot complain about the opportunity I am giving myself to play full time. I think IT is going to be wonderful!
More later,
Good money and peace,
Lucky C and her sidekick, Ace.
