Sigh X 10000000000000000

So Saturday i went to the races and didnt do bad but making it a trifecta i finished down so im 3 for 3 in that dept this year...

Saturday night i get into the 3r and 27.50 on stars and played very well in both...made the $$$ in both and past the 4 hr break when all the wheels fell off...In the 27.50 there are just over 100 left and i have 35k in chips a bit below avg, with A6 in the BB...everyone folds to the button who makes it 8k on 1500/3000 blinds, so i shove he calls hes got 77 and hits a 7 8 10 baord...goodnight there...Over on the 3r i am a bit over avg with about 60k in chips when i get moved to a table which i shortly see is a players dream...3 stacks in the top 10 and none of them know what theyre doing... theyre opening for 6-8x then folding a double reraise behind...lol...in 15 minutes i chip up to 95k pretty easily only seing 1 flop and feel like i can cruise to the top of the leaderboard pretty easily as long as i can stay here...I get AQd in lp and like clockwork one of the chip leaders with almost 400k at the time raises to 30k on 2500/5000 blinds lol...everyone folds to me so i ship it...button folds, sb folds, then FUCK...bb shoves...not expecting him to have a hand...the original raiser of course folds and im dissapointed to see bb with AK and i dont get there so out of there and felt more mad there because of how soft and easy that should have been to accumulate chips in rapid pace...

So Sunday rolls around and am stoked...Earned tickets to the Warm-Up and Mill and plan on registering for the daily thirty grand and sunday 200k...So hopin for a deep run in a couple of them, as i was feeling i was playing as good as i ever have recently...I make it through the 1st hour in the warmup without getting involved in to many pots but lose 2k on a semi-bluff attempt just before break so am down to 8100 at break...After break i get a few hands and hit a couple nice pots and double up plus some to about 18k...feelin real good as my table only has 1 good player and about half way through the field when i see KK utg...blinds 400/800 i raise to 2400...next to act who has just a bit less than me re raises to 6k...folds to me so i shove for a total of 17.6...he tanks for 30 secs then calls all his chips with 99...YES...flop 10 J K...TIPS KKK's...nice...turn Q....NO FKING WAY....river 6....34k pot...nice 3 outer...he says my favorite line...hey thats pokerstars for ya...STFU...fukin donk+1...

So that tilts me the rest of the day and i go out in the 1st hour of the thirty, 200k and mil...I usually am good about not tilting but was so sick wanted to puke in my mouth after that hand...

SIGH :-(

Sigh

So im in the $$$$ in the 3r on stars (which imo is the softest mtt besides the $4 180 man of course) with about avg chip stack 35k...i have QJ in mp with blinds 600/1200...folds to me i raise to 3000...sb calls with 3k with about 22k left behind him...flop is Q53 rainbow...he cks i raise to 4700 about 1/2 pot...he re raises all in for another 17k i call he has 1010...turn is a 10...sigh...55k pot on a 2 outer...oh well...

Off to Saratoga Race Track tomorrow with some buddies...first 2x up have been yuk so maybe third times a charm...
