Tourney Ugh...Ever have one of those nights... (1 Viewer)

Fair warning, bad beat story ahead. Continue at your own risk...

Playing my weekly Wednesday tourney. Typically 60-70 entries. You’re allowed one re-entry... Starting stacks 20k.

We first join our hero (me) with 48k early in level 4 (blinds 400/800). I have 55 in the small blind in a multi-way limped pot. Flop comes T25 with two clubs. I’m first to act, and lead out decently. It gets raised, and called around back to me. I ship it in, get 3 callers... I’m facing AQ clubs, K9 clubs, and JJ (who is the only stack near me in size, and has me covered...). Of course the turn is the Jc. And my hopes of hitting a one outter are dashed when the DB next to me tells me he mucked the case 5. Best hand on the flop, Fourth best hand on the turn, and only player eliminated... I know that set over set is rare, but add nut flush and 2nd nut flush to the mix, crazy odds? One bullet down...

Second bullet, I grind my stack back from 20k to 65k. Next level. Blinds at 500/1k. I look down at 44 in LP. Lots of limps, I come along to set mine. BB (same guy who felted me before) raises to 3k, 3callers, I come along. 17k in the pot. Flop is J48 rainbow. Super agro BB bets 10k, I ship my remaining 60k. BB tanks-calls, and tables AJ. I ran the numbers later, and I was close to 99% to win. Turn is a J (I boat up), river is an A...

Ya, pretty gross, but I know the villain well, and he seemed to empathize with the sick suck out.. I explained i was fine, and that these are the very hands that make me love poker. Yes, it sucks when you're on the losing end, but I’ve been on the winning end too. It all evens out.

Just not my night.

Bottom and middle set never win. Wait that's Omaha. Unlucky. Sounds like a nice tourney though. This home game or casino?

It’s a bar tourney (it’s raked, but has dealers, a FT tourney director, and semi ok chips for a bar game).

Ouch, that bites Trihonda.

Sounds similar to my last tourney. $200 deepstack rebuy at Derby Lane Poker Room in St Pete Florida.

Early on raise AK and get a bunch of callers, flop is AA4 and wind up getting it in against AT only for him to spike a T on the turn. REBUY!

A new table, another AK. EP raises, I shove with AK, an idiot with KQ off cold-calls, the original raiser reraises (he has AK suited) and KQ cold-calls again. Flop is T92 with two to a flush, AK suited (not of that suit) shoves, KQ off calls off a pretty monster stack for that stage of the tournament with nothing but two overs and a gutshot........spikes the J on the river to bust us both. REBUY!

Down to 28 players from 203, top 20 make the money. Blinds are 8K/16K with I believe a 2K ante. Average stack is around 290K, Hero has around 180K in the BB. EP min-raises to 32K, MP reraises to 80K, Hero shoves with pocket Kings..........EP folds, MP calls with AJ offsuit.........Ace on the flop. 8 spots from the money, le sigh.

Is K9 clubs guy not too bright?

 

[Trihonda]

I won our local big stack home game, .

Congrats.

 

[Trihonda]

Both the flush draw guys were not too bright. I’ve played with them many times.

K9 sooted looks so pretty...

the K9 guy was on the button. Guessing he felt his position was worth seeing a flop, then once he hit the 2nd nut draw, felt it was worthy of making a stand?

 

[Ronoh]

Being he was on the button, it was limped around preflop, he was facing a multiway raise before your flop shove, he has nowhere near your 48k stack and the fact it’s a rebuy I’m trying to figure out at what point you guys think K9cc should have correctly folded?

 

[Trihonda]

Guys? I never said he should have folded. In fact I made some of the same observations above.

But I did say he’s a fish in general.

Cash game? Hell yeah. Risk your tournament life (albeit a rebuy) on a not even nut draw against 3 others? Not me. Unless I'm very shortstacked, I'll find another spot.

 

[Josh Kifer]

I'm normally pretty solid, but this last Monday tourney, I burned thru two rebuys in three blindsets with such highlights as my aces broken by k5 off and my second nut boat losing to the nuts. Worst poker night I've had a years.

Not knowing all the variables and not knowing anything about the other players, which is a big input. This would be my line of thinking as well. Even if I hit I may get beat. I would have picked another spot also.

 

[RowdyRawhide]

I might be crazy but I don't think K9 suited shoving here is any better or worse than shoving with middle set. In my experience a K high flush holds more often than not. IMO that's the bad beat in this thread.....i could be wrong though

Personally I wouldn't have shoved with middle set here. But in your defense and K9 I assume rebuy period was up in another level or 2

I agree with this too. Tough to tell without knowing any of the variables or having a feel for the table, but if I knew or suspected I’d get 3 callers with a set of fives, I probably wouldn’t be shoving on the flop.

 

[Ronoh]

Worst poker night I've had a years.

Color me jealous... I take both of those beatings regularly, how in the world is cracked aces and losing 2nd nut the worst night of Poker you’ve had in years??

Lasting 65 minutes in a 4-5 hours tourney with two rebuys is pretty terrible for me.

The flush draws were short stacked, with like 12-15k each. I wasn’t worried about them, per se. The JJ guy was the only one who had me covered and is whom I was ultimately playing against. Stack sizes were relavent. The JJ guy is super agro, and is the kind of person would would stack off with a single overpair. I believed there was a very good chance (like 99%j I was ahead of him. If he doesn’t hit his two outer, I give up the main pot to the flush draws that hit, but wind up +30k ish in the hand. Weird spot, but I’m going to war with a set here. Plus, rebuys end next level.

Nope. Never. I win every tournament I enter.

A few years ago I felt unstoppable in the league. Championship win followed up by two consecutive first places. I think I cashed in 7 out of 9 events with 4 first places. That was the same year I chopped the NLHE/PLO r x r at the charity game that you talked me into attending.

Now saying that, I think I have cashed in two tourney's in the last couple of seasons

 

[Rhodeman77]

@Trihonda how does JJ guy limp preflop???

That is the thing I can’t understand more than anything else about the hand.

Absolutely. Its Jacks. He should have folded

My apologies, wrote this right before bed... I believe he made a medium-ish raise, which was limped around, and I felt priced in to flat.
