Toasterhead Gets Knocked Out

I'd like to blame it on the fact that I was hungover, but I would have been better off not showing up.

One time I raised the minimum with aces, the flop came Q-J-2 and I got check raised for about 700 in chips. I put the guy all-in and he has Q-J. I get lucky and catch a 2 on the river and double up, but I am not feeling so great about my play.

Then 2 players call and I'm sitting on J-J. I have over 7,000 in chips and over 1,000 players have been knocked out so I am coasting along above the average. I go all-in here, figuring nobody will call. But why? I'm risking over 7,000 in chips and my tournament life in order to to win 600. Anybody with a better hand will certainly call. As it turns out the little blind has aces and I get knocked out.

Well I had 15 chips left and went all-in the next hand.

I didn't mind last week so much because I played as well as I could and a guy got really lucky on me, but I played terrible this week and deserved to lose and it doesn't sit too well.

I eased the pain with 2 hot dogs smothered in mustard and a big bowl of ice cream with hot fudge sauce sprinkled with peanut M & M's.

Maybe if I sleep for 3 months straight I will forget about this one.
