God I hate fucking tournaments. Been playing since 4:30, made it deep in yet another Sunday tournament, and out to another bad beat. Granted, it was a pretty thin spot, but that makes it only moderately less annoying. I had about 12 BB’s, and action folded to a pretty successful Pocket Fiver in the SB. He open shoved into my K7.
A good tournament player, especially a P5’er, especially a guy who may not recognize me as a knowledgeable player, especially when the table’s been active and there haven’t been many steal opportunities, is going to have any two cards here. I called, and indeed he had J9.
I covered my face with my hands, then peaked through them at the screen. I was pretty sure I was going to see a J-high flop. Instead, just to ruin any suspense, it was T87. There was no running full house for me.
At least I won’t have cause to play any more tournaments on FTP any time soon….
Unrelated to this post, they were replaying the main event episodes on ESPN and happened to show the bubble play. The expression on your face is hillarious when the 8 hits the river, I couldn’t stop laughing. Obv. I felt bad for the guy will always get that image in my head when you talk about bad beats.
