Summer of Heartbreak

It just continues…

Binions $200 today was another cakewalk.  I chipped up early again and was above tourney average for the first 6 levels.  190+ runners and with 70 or so to go, I became a madman and started stealing every pot in play.  I was in that special “zone” that we all look for.  Then a guy raised and I looked down at AA and reraised.  He shoved with Kings.  He flopped a king… That pot was nearly 2x the average stack.  I’m back down to a bit above an average stack.  The next hand a guy shoves for 10x and I call with A,T s00ted.  His 8s hold up and I’m down to 9 BBs.  A few hands later, I shove with A,4 s00ted and A,Q wakes up in the blinds to cripple me.  Fancy that.

To make things worse, I had swapped action with Ozone and if the other got to the final table (10-handed) that person pays the other their buy-in back.  Top 3 paid more.

Ozone finished 11th…

This has been the summer of heartbreak.
