MintTrav:
Had a strange one the night before last - I cashed three times in the same tournament. Had three entries in the MTOPS HORSE and they all went deep, so I finished 18th, 55th and 107th for a total payout of not very much. As usual, all the cash was top-loaded, so I took on all the flips, was riding high for a while, but eventually lost some huge races. It"s bizarre, though, to look at the player-list during the game and see that you are 11th and 14th at the same time.

MintTrav:
I know we all get bad beats all the time, but sometimes you just can"t believe it. First, one of my entries got dumped out of the MTOPS 10-Game by a 3-outer, when winning the pot would have put me near the top with 630 left. NLHE KQ v KJ. Bet pre and Flop, all-in on Turn. He called each time.
[8s Ks 3c 4h] [Jh]. Can"t blame the other guy too much for that one, I guess.


This pot, though, was to go 14/181 with one of my other entries. Playing PLO, I couldn"t believe his hand when I saw what he had got it all in with. Just an over-pair and a dodgy flush draw, which was drawing dead to my made top Full House. He effectively had nothing, drawing to two Queens. TYVM, that"s the hand I needed to push for a proper result. Already thinking about how to play this big stack. The river is a Q - you"re kidding me!

WTF!

Not long after, my third entry gets busted when KK doesn"t hold up, AIPF. Two negligible cashes, that don"t even register, when I should have had a top stack twice. I"m as calm as anyone I know regarding outdraws, but sometimes the injustice of poker is hard to believe.

MintTrav:
Oh God, 82 left from 1,126 in the MTOPS Omaha FL Hi/Lo and I"m sitting in 2nd and 10th. Too stressful.


Edit: Stand down, it"s all over. No glory yet again. Fell out the bottom after posting that and ended 38th and 20th for buttons. As usual.

I was a little surprised not to see you at the Pompey 25/25 yesterday - you playing it today? If so, good luck!

Nah, I"m in Dublin, doing family stuff (and dipping into some local tournaments). I would definitely have done the 25/25 if I was in Portsmouth, but you can"t play everything.
