Busted everything

Today was annoyingly disappointing, although I think I played pretty good the cards didn’t line up.


My best chance for cashing came in the FTOPS #9 $322 Buy in. I had 25k with blinds 300/600/75 in chips about an hour from the bubble (3.5 hours into the tournament) and I am remaining aggressive. I lose 9To to Q9s for 3k chips, I then lose KK to KQs AI preflop for 4k chips, lost A5s to K9o AI preflop for another 4k chips (this time blinds were at 400/800/100) and then I’m at 10,000 chips, roughly 12.5 BB. I get dealt Q9o in the CO and it folded around to me; I thought it was fairly standard shove. The table was playing pretty tight and I didn’t want to make an incorrect fold so I figured it couldn’t be that horrible. I checked my short stacking spreadsheet after the fact and it said fold :(. With QTo and Q8s I should shove but fold Q9o and K9o. I ran into TT and, although I flopped an OESD I couldn’t get there and busted..


My next chance for cashing again came about an hour out from the bubble in the Sunday Warmup, where I restole with A2o and ran into AJo. It definitely was a marginal resteal but my opponent was 24/15 with 4/6 attempt to steal, so I was just unlucky to run into a better hand.


Everything else it wasn’t even all that close, frankly I don’t remember much what happened but I couldn’t get much going.
