Well I know the day will come when the brutal beats subside. Following a mega where I was able to enjoy the ebb and flow of the game, the Main Event was all ebb. I had QQ vs KK on a five card low board, where i truly lost the minimum possible. Then i raise with JJ, get one caller. I put him on a high hand with the smooth call and determined to play it careful, which meant get a set or get out. Any over cards and I’m gone. Flop is 7 5 J rainblow. The absolute stone cold nuts. He checks, I bet and he smooths. I know now I am facing an overpair to the board. The turn is a deuce. He bets i raise he reraises me all in (he had more chips due to the $7k I lost with queens vs kings) and I am happy to go the distance now. He turns over QQ and I have top set and a queen hits the river. “nice hand sir” is all you can say as you gather your belongings. Played both hands perfectly but early in a tournament youve got win one of those. Sigh.
