a late night and coming close

1:45am is when I finally shut the laptop down and began the process of letting go.

I played a heck of a game prior to the final 18, almost like I was poker player. Never got my money in behind and made timely raises on suspected steals. My major leak was getting rock tightwhen as chipleader I should have been getting looser.

So I made it to the final as chipleader when I busted blinders. And I held on to the chip lead as late as 5 left when I busted MiamiDon with AKcc, but I was overmatched champsampson and lucko ran me over with their play, I was paralyzed into nit when I knew my raises would be met with a push.

The penultimate hand was: champ folded, in the sb I raised pot to 10k with a9o . Lucko thought then pushed. I looked at my remaining chips and I had approx 30k left. My gut was saying that I think I have an over here, and since I was playing nitty, a shove with atc is not out of the relm of possibility.
I called and he flipped q7dd, hit my 9 on the flop and he rivered a q. Igh 3rd. No toc seat.

Depressing but not as bad as losing heads up with a chip lead to bdiddie in the hoy last year.

Thanks to those who railed me or sent support specifically tragedy and poker enthusiast.

Now onto the skillz and PLO. Bayne I would think to be the fav tonight, ill see how long I can donk around.

Excellent run last night. lucko is lucko -- a great player who also sucks out an ungodly percentage of the time. He feasts upon me - ha ha.

Good luck in The Skillz game -- unless you are at my table, of course.

Still an outstanding job representing the 806.

Keep up the hard work and the TOC will happen!

All my best

Nope I felt real good last night, that race was the only race I lost all night.

Thanks to you both for the kind words.
