Getting so tired of making the right play...

...and still getting screwed. The pre-flop call is a bit of a gamble, but if I set up and he gets any piece, I'm getting his stack. He overplayed hands like you wouldn't believe.

More just pissed that I read him right and cards still don't cooperate. Story of my life lately. During the rebuy period he hit a three outer ace to crack my kings, so I should've already had his stack.

This is why I don't win tournaments.

Litte update on the tourney, managed to win my chips back, but not from him. Bigmitt dumped them to someone else because he's a dumbass, and I then doubled up huge against the person he gave the chips to, so I was in good shape for a while. Top ten, then card dead for an hour or so...

And I just bubbled from the final table in tenth. Shortstack, QJ on the button, push, instacall from BB, AK, flops trip aces, turns a boat, and I river a straight to rub it in. Feels like I just got punched in the gut. Embarassed

Not a bad beat as much as it is a completely deflating beat. Yet to crack the final table in one of these rebuy tournaments.
