Online Badbeats

Well the name of this blog is appropriate. I took a few bad beats over the last two nights deep in a few tournaments turning what could have been nice cashes into min cashes. Sucks when this happens over and over again but at least I am getting pretty deep in a few events. Here they are:

1. Lose AA5T double suited all in preflop when we are down to 18 in the Full Tilt $4,000 PLO (24+2 buy in). Lose to another players AA37 single suited and of course his suit hits for a flush. I am crippled and bow out in 13th for a whopping $83 when top 3 all make $600+
2. Thursday night in the FTP $32,000 No Limit Hold Em ($24+2). 1300 players and we are down to 80 (inside the money) I get it all in preflop with QQ and lose to 9T for a 40k chip pot. Win that and I am top 10 in chips with 80ish left. As is I am crippled and limp along finishing 43rd for a whopping $90 when first pays $7,000 (top 3 all make $3,500+)
3. Thursday night in the Full Tilt $4,000 PLO (24+2) we are down to 25 or so from starting field of ~200 (18 players cash). Limp in to the flop with 89JQ. Flop comes 67T giving me a monster. Made str8 with a redraw to a bigger str8. I pot for 4,800 folds to the button who repots all-in for ~17,500. I call obv and he flips T6 for 2 pair. Well played sir!! Of course FT rewards the donkey with a T on the river for a full house. I am able to hang around and finish 19 when I shove over this same donkey with 5678 and he calls with AAxx. Flop comes 583 to put me ahead with 2 pair but turn is a 3 so his 2 pair wins. GG ME

Fortunately I am running much better in cash games and actually had a good $1/$2 PLO session where I was up 2.5 buy ins over ~800 hands. But that is just running well and can't expect those numbers to last forever.
