TEN TEN TEN

So 10/10/10. 10,000 starting stack, 10 minute levels, 10 seconds to act. 

I did well. If this was a bounty, I would've earned from 6 KOs. However, it wasn't. Anyway, kicked out a stack with AA vs 88. Kicked out another with AJ vs KQ, defended my big blind and there was just a little to call. Busted out another with a flopped nut flush I had KQ and there was an A on the board and got him to shove with a nudge raise. Busted another with KK vs AK. Busted another with tens vs nines and then took out one with two pair 9-8 versus A-9.

And then my I defended my queens on the big blind with a shove from a raiser and a caller only to find the initial raiser call me with A-5 suited. I asked the guy who folded, did you fold an ace? and he said jacks? and I said "oh no." True enough he Greensteined and my 30,000+ stack was damaged to around 20,000. I so wanted to get it back that I jumped in on a lot of hands and saw my stack roller coaster. I jumped in on three-way all-ins against the smaller stacks, hoping to break them, but it wasn't good. I got greedy and too egotistic. EGO!

Eventually, with about 17 left, I made a loose call with K-9 just before the break, suspecting that someone was just trying to steal the blinds. I was correct. I had his 7-8 dominated, but as things go in poker, his 7-8 made a straight. 

Anyway, on to the next.

I got home and decided to open my GGPoker, which I haven't done since June or July. Played a bounty tourney for $2.50 and was up there in the top of the chip counts early. Then my aces got cracked twice by a 9-8 that made two pair and by jacks that made a set. So sick. Took so long to build that stack only to see it crumble and disappear in two freaking hands. Made $6 from bounties and was around 50 players away from ITM. In online poker, that was about 2 minutes. LOL.
