out
This sucks. This is basically my first time busting out of the big one. Last year hurt alot, but in a different way. There was this 3.5M coushin to soften the blow. I am very happy with my play today. I will tell my final hand, and then I am off to sulk. I will write more later.
I go to dinner with 17500 feeling comfortable. I am above average and I have a good table. The first hand back, I am on the button with blinds at 150/300 with 25 ante. It folds to me and I raise to 850 with 9d4d. Not a very good hand, but I am playing position and just trying to pick up the blinds and antes. The SB folds and the BB calls. The flop is Jc9s4c. He checks and I bet 2500. He raises to 7500 and I go all in for about 9k more. He shrugs and calls with Ac2c, a flush draw. I am ahead for now, and if this holds up I will be in fantastic shape with about 35k. The turn is the 7c and I need help. The river misses me and I am out. I down, but not miserable. Like I said yesterday; if I do my best, and I am happy with my play, then I can't be too upset when I am out. I put my money in as a favorite, and that's all you can do in poker.
I am going to relax and support all my friends still in. Noah and Marcel play tomorrow and suprisingly, they are at the same table, 1 seat apart. There are still 3 chances for me to get that bracelet this year! There are 3 more NL events during the main event, that award bracelets. The first is on Monday, $1500 NL. I will be back at the tables, ready to give it another shot.
