Well, on Saturday night I played in the $250 qualifier on Bodog for the LA Poker Classic. I ran really well... I was down below 2000 when early position opened and then the button min re-raised, I had queens in the blinds and decided to jam. Of course the min re-raiser had kings but I hit the queen on the river.
After that I flopped a bunch of sets and had premium starting hands and had 27k of the 63k in play 8 handed at the final table. (Only one LA seat given out, second got nothing). I finally get heads up with a 41k to 22k lead. I win the first pot heads up and then my opponent got kings and aces back to back, both times I flopped a pair and the first time I doubled him. So he reversed things on me, then I flopped a pair against him when he turned a flush and lost some more. Finally, down to 10 big blinds I pushed with 66 and he called with A5 and won.
I really rushed the first hand he doubled up. I saw the end in site and pushed my chips in and hoped I had the best hand or outdrew him. But after that the deck just crushed him. A very frustrating loss to be sure.
Sunday so far has been a joke. Interpoker I never had any chips, tried a move and lost. Bodog I got some chips, lost a key coinflip and then pushed from the sb with q8 and ran into qj. Pokerroom I lost in the second hour with ak vs a9 all in preflop.
On Party a guy with 890 chips raised to 90 (3xbb) utg , I made it 290 from the button with QQ, he somehow called with 66, flopped a set and doubled through me. You have to love putting 35% of your stack with 66. Then I doubled up to 800 or so and then a player on tilt decided to re-re-raise all in after I had re-raised an utg raiser with AQ. He had 44 and he won, so I was short stacked again and busted soon later.
On dise I was handed an absolute gift when someone slowplayed AA preflop (on level 1 this isn't a great play folks) and I flopped a set of tens. Then two hilarious hands popped up :

Yeah, I like putting in 900 of 1600 preflop with the blinds 15/30 holding Q9 also.
Then this hand, which I am obviously a donkey for not leading the turn on. But does the guy have to re-raise me with KQ and THEN get there?
