I busted out of the Main Event Today, 3 events 1/3 broke even at WSOP. No cards and no luck the first 3 hours. VERY frustrating. I had a soft passive table and couldn't take advantage. In particular chased 3 nut flush draws where my opponents bets wimpy (and 2 hands were 3 way!) and whiffed. Also, chose to toss away QQ and 1010 due to heavy resistence post turn vs. rocks.
Anyway, down to 21.5k, the cutoff (1 off button) at 100/200 blinds opens for $600. He has been the aggressor at the table and I've fired back at him multiple times, with success in the blinds. I reraise in the SB with 2 red Kings for 2,300, I actually spent some time thinking about the reraise size. I thought he might put me on a resteal given our history. With KK, I knew sans an Ace flop, I was going to rumble with almost a 5k pot, and a stack to pot ratio of only 4. The kid called, and 2-7-8, 2 hearts flopped. I led out wimpy (2.5k) which might have bit me in the butt if he had called, but I wanted him to think he was good if he had 1010, or JJ OR wanted him to consider making a move with trash. He reraised to 8k. I worried about monsters under the bed, but concluded it really was a snap call, and if he had AA, it wasn't meant to be. I pushed, he called, and showed A-Q hearts. A 5 of hearts ended my poker year.
We move on to sports. It's ON now. It's on.
