Sigh........

Just remembered why online tournaments are one of the most frustrating inventions in history. I was flying in the Pokerstars $50 rebuy, being chip leader from about 100 runners out till about 30 left. With 15 left I had dropped back a bit to 4th spot, but all players had huge stacks capable of hurting each other. 250+ runners, with 9grand for first spot and then this happens…

I have been active, surprise surprise, and have been consistently taking down small pots. I find KK on the button - perfect. I raise 15k of my 150k stack, and the big blind shoves for 70k with KQ. I obviously snap call, and am in the best shape possible.

First card is a King :) …10…J…5…ACE. :(

After this hand I am dumped to about 3rd last. I keep fighting, but on the final table bubble shove AQ over an early raiser for my 100k stack. He calls with JJ and I get no help.

So annoying…I win about $800, leaving me with a modest profit for the evening.

It’s so important getting to the big prizes - even 6th was 2k or something. I hate spending 5 hours and getting rogered like that.

Next time perhaps, if I can summon any motivation to play them again :(
