3-outed to death
by jchc027 » Mon Sep 25, 2006 7:34 am
So I made it to the final table of a $2 buy-in on party with over 1,200 entrants. I was second in chips with over 600,000 and the blinds were 10K and 20K. Then when we were down to 7 players my luck turned south quick. In two evolutions around the table I went from 2nd in chips to out. Here's the hands that beat me.
Hand #1)
200K stack raises to 50K. I'm on the button with AKo and reraise enough to put him allin and he flips over AJ. gets trip Jacks to beat me.
Hand #2)
Another 200K limps in (he's been limping in a lot) and I'm in the small blind with AQo and decide to push. big blind folds, he calls and flips over KQ. Great! That is unti the flop comes KKQ.
Hand #3)
I'm now down to less than 200K and I'm sitting in the big blind. Same guy from hand #2 limps in and everyone folds around to me. I'm sitting on 44 and with less than 10x the big blind I push and he calls and flips over A3. What's the first card that I see on the flop? An ace of course.
So with great potential of winning over $500 I walk away with less than $50. All by getting beat by hands that were down to 3 outs against me. Talk about a frustrating way to go down....

I had accidentally left 2 bucks in Party when I cashed out a couple weeks ago. I used it in a $2 buyin MTT today and finished... 11th 
I was the chip leader for the great majority of the tourney also but a couple bad beats knocked me down below average. I tried to blind steal, got called, caught a pair w/ a straight draw and pushed AI against a very tight player, thinking I could take advantage of that FT bubble, but he called, flipped over an overpair, and I missed. So instead of likely netting 100+ I only got 15. I quickly blew it on blackjack because I was still below the minimum withdrawal... but I busted first hand
Maybe a bad move but I couldn't be assed to deposit into PP just to withdrawal that 15, especially with their future in the US so up in the air.
Anyway, I feel for ya. As for myself, I think I proved to myself that I can do some MTT's even as I focus on STT and cash game play. Nice little confidence boost
