Beat Down: an exercise for the tinfoil hat crew

[Penguinfan]

Getting to a point where if I can get one more round of blinds I can fold to a seat. The table has been pretty tight with the big stacks folding to a seat, then this:

Again, I don't think he can call here with A 10 and me already in, but after that flop I need runner-runner and get there.

Go figure.

The KQ hands is a fabulous example. Hopefully, as things progress with this thread however, we will see submissions of a more subtle nature (not just AIPF).

I will admit that contributing to this will be hard for me as I am playing very little right now and won't be able to do much more untill December.

Hardest workload of career + Detroit 1/2 marathon in Oct. + Shodan test in Nov = slight increase in stress.

but I digress.

How did you end up doing in those the KQ tourney?

[Penguinfan]

They were from the same tourney. Got a seat but was too tired to play last night so I unregistered and have T$ to use in something today.

If I cash something nice it will only have happened because of surviving the above two hands, so the last one is a potential 5 figure suck out.

Don't have a HH, but in a recent tournament I did get lucky one hand with AQ>AK, would've had $20 left if I'd lost that.
