There are certain universal truths:
1. no one wants to see your vacation pictures
2. no one wants to read your blog
3. no one wants to listen to your bad beat sob stories
In general, I've been very good about not running counter to these truths. Although I'd like people to read my blog, I don't beg them to, and I write it for myself anyway. I very rarely tell bad beat sob stories. I think people who do are just crybabies. I'm going to step out of character briefly, and inhabit the role of crybaby. Here's my tale of woe from the fourth sit and go of last night's session:
- on hand 56, I was dealt 7h 6h, and a player who'd been dealt pocket fours went all in preflop. I called. Before the flop, I had a 49.51% chance to win the pot, and a 1.84% chance to chop it. The flop came 6c Jh 8d. At this point, I was a 90.81% favorite. The turn card was 3s. Now I was a 95.45% favorite. The river card, 4d, was a dagger through my heart; my pair of sixes lost to three of a kind, fours. I lost 350 in chips, which dropped my stack down to 905 in chips.
- on hand 61, I was dealt Ah Ks, and the flop came Tc Ac Qd. A player who'd been dealt pocket eights want all in after the flop, and I called. At this point, I was a 90.81% favorite, and had a 1.21% chance of chopping the pot. The turn card was Ts. Now I was a 95.45% favorite. The river card, 8s, was another dagger through my heart; my two pair of aces and tens lost to a full house of eights full of tens. I lost 1,085 in chips, bringing my stack all the way down to 120 in chips.
One bad beat when you're a 95.45% favorite on the turn is bad enough, but two in one tournament? That's unconscionable :-)
