Tight Poker

Here we go again, right? Let's hope for a similar result!

FWIW I got in this position by making a bad call, making some marginal pushes with the worst of it, etc. and sucking out like crazy. If I keep running this hot, I can't lose!

So if you're bored, or at work and don't want to work (ML?) feel free to come sweat

At work, can't watch, but good luck!

I was card dead for a long time, doubled up JJ>77 AIPF

Then I made a stupid, stupid mistake and overpushed my healthy stack with 99 sending me down to <10 BB's.

So, next hand I had A8s and pushed over a donk's raise, he had KQ.

Flop was K8x

Turn Q

River A

So my playing bad and running good strategy continues! 3rd break 11/34 remaining.

This was a little sick because I would have been huge chip leader if we didn't chop:

A9<AK
Q6<K5

both AIPF

I got teased on the flop on both but then they caught up

Busted out 5th for 220ish. Thanks for all the good luck wishes! A9 was about the best thing I had for 5 or 10 orbits and the blinds absolutely killed me, can't feel bad about that. If not for my suckouts early on I wouldn't have had the chance to even be there

Thanks again guys! Gotta go get some lunch now, I'd kill for a turkey sandwich
