I have not complained in a while so what the heck. Played the Intertops Xmas NL Holdem $500 Added Bounty game tonight. Was a struggle the entire way but I grinded my way into the money (15) I then watch this guy reraise a tight player with AT (The raiser had AK. I dumped AJ before he had a chance to do his AT dazzle move. So he enriches Mr AK. Two hands later with 14 remaining I pick up QQ and an early pushes (66) I push and here he comes from pos.5 with the powerhouse AT. So instead of having some breathing room finally I am cooked.
He had 28K after that hand and is now down to 14K with 10 to play. He called another QJ push with J6. Oh well once again a buy-in plays like a freeroll because a set amount of players are so locked chasing the $2 bounty that they lose site of the prize money. Had guys winging like crazy the entire game. Risking 1/3-1/2 stack to chase $2.
Then in my parallel forum game I butchered a hand with KK because I accidentally checked the turn when I meant to bet pot lol. But what killed me was when a guy holding JT short-stacked on a flop of 8-9-5 1x bets at the flop with 5BBs. I push with 44 and he calls and rivers the 7. You are suppose to push the flop with your up and down and two overs and try to shut that down to give yourself two ways to win. Either you fold your opponent with the bet. And you have a safety back-up of 14 outs. So obviously you prefer the fold. I am still trying to unravel the love affair with the "min bet" post flop online. It is so prevalent yet it is almost non-existent live.
Update: Mr AT went out 8th. He "giveth" back the chips hehe. time2drink2 took the win with whocares39 second. 204.88 and 133.96 respectively.
