Timely Hero
Jacoby Blows
Just horrible. I got into 14 tournaments total today, and I placed in none of them. To put this into perspective, on average I place in 23% of my tournaments. Today I wasn't even close. I was in five tournaments where 1st place got more then 7.5k. In those five tournaments I lost in the following ways.
Tournament 1:
My stack: 12k
Average stack: 19k
My hand: KK
Had two raisers pre-flop, with one caller. 3 people in the hand ahead of me, and the pot is approximately 7k when it gets to me. I shove all-in preflop and get one caller. He turns over 88. Flop comes 10-K-7. Turn 9, river 6. He hits a four card straight and I lose the tournament. The pot was 31k.
Tournament 2:
My Stack: 18k
Average Stack: 10k
My hand: QQ
I'm in the Big Blind and one guy has raised 1k pre flop. I reraise him 2k. He calls. Flop comes 7-10-4. He checks. I raise him 6k, which is about the size of the pot. He flat calls. Next card is a J. He checks, and I push. He snap calls and turns over JJ. I lost 16k and am short and my K9 loses to 10-10 two hands later when I'm forced to push.
Tournament 3:
My stack: 20k
Average Stack: 18K
My hand: 9-10 Diamonds
I'm in the Big Blind again and one guy raises 1k pre flop. There are two callers behind him and I flat call (5.2K pot). Flop comes K-4-7 diamonds. I bet 2k, and everyone folds besides one guy. Turn comes, K of clubs. I push all in and he insta-calls. He turns over A-3 diamonds. Sweet, I know. I lose 17k, and I'm short as hell again and I go out with AJ against KQ. I had AJ and lost of course.
Tournament 4:
My Stack: 7k
Average Stack: 10k
My hand: AA
I'm first two act and raise 3 times the BB (600). A big stack with 30k in chips is immediate to act after me and raises to 1800. Everyone folds. It gets around to me and I push all in. He calls and flips over 99. Flop comes 2-7-5, turn J, river 9. I lose again.
Tournament 5:
My Stack: 25k
Average Stack: 19k
My hand: KK
I'm in the middle of the table and a guy raises to 1100. I reraise to 2300. Everyone folds until it gets around to the original raiser. He has 21k in chips at the start of the hand. He re-raises me and I push all-in preflop. He flips over AA and it holds against my KK. I now have 3300 in chips. Four hands later, I think they're trying to get me back into the game. I have 4200 in chips and I'm in the Big Blind. I have AK (hearts), and there are two little guys, less than 5k in chips, all-in pre flop and one big stack. I call. The pot is 18.5k, so I can get right back into it. One guy has 66, another has AQ, and the big stack has KQ. Flop comes K-K-5, turn 3, river Q. Jeeze it sure was great.
Sorry, just needed to vent. This was one of the worst days of my poker playing life. I've never taken so many horrific beats.
