Tough Loss in Live Tournament.

[wagon596]

First let me set the scene. My Nephew, Niece and I went to Winstar Casino to play in a $60 buy-in Tournament. Start with 5,000 chips with 20 minute blinds. There are 160 players and it pays 16 spots with $2200 going to winner. my Nephew goes out before first break, Niece goes out before second break.

Coming back from second break I have right at 3,000 chips and the blinds are 1,000 and 500. Third hand back I get pocket 9's so I go all in with 2 callers. My 9's hold up, now setting on 10,000 in chips. Two hands later I'm on the button, UTG raises to 3500, one caller in front of me. I go all in and both call me. There's now more than 30,000 chips in the pot. I roll over my pocket Aces, UTG 10/J suited and the other player has pocket Queens. So for all you guys who think bad stuff only happens on-line, yep player catches another Queen and I finish 49th. Out the door I go. Average chip stack is around 15,000 at that time, So I "Would" have had double the average. That's poker.

Needless to say that one stung for a bit. Take care y'all

Tough break, had you won you def would have made some big cash with your skills.

also, note that a majority of the players who claim online is rigged are losing players. Even if people are cheating and the software is not a legit dealer - good consistent playing and being observant can overcome it. Excluding the UB-Absolute scandal of course.

I couldn't agree more about the majority of cry baby's are the LOSING players, they shove all in with garbage and cry about getting knocked out, or they get lucky and catch something and for a few hands they think they are poker gods...but they RARELY make the final table.

Wagon that is a tough loss, and you are so right about it happening live, happens all the time. Keep grinding though, there's always another chip and chair somewhere!

That's not that bad of a bad beat at least it wasn't a lost to the j 10 then that's a bad beat.

????? why is it any worse of a bad beat to lose to the J10 suited? They're both roughly the same odds to suck out on AA.

6 outs vrs 2 outs dont sound roughly same to me LOL Altho im not quite understanding J10 in there. I do understand you want to be in a multi pot but not really for your turny life? How many chips did J10 have?

I'll bet that did hurt for a while. That would hurt anyone. Thanks for sharing that with us. I just
got beat out of a tournament on the river...online of course.
