Sick Proposition (long)

[ashmc2]

Get this, I get a call from my Bro. I answer the phone and he says to me, "I've got a proposition for you." My immature mind immediately wonders what kind of sick demented thing he is going to ask me to do with him. Turns out he's not gay and the local farms can let the sheep back out to pasture. (Just wanted to clear that up, that's all." Anyhoo, He tells me (in one big drawn-out sentence) that he is in a $100 MTT on UB and that there's 120 some left, 20 pay out, 1st place gets $4500, he has 5000 in chips, he has some urgent issue that he has to attend to, so he can't finish playing, and that I have to take over for him. (One giant breath I tells ya.) I obviously say, "Let me check the calendar real quick, Bro..." (long pause, but not long enough for the phone to hang up.) "No shit, really, you sure, no shit," I stammer, all giddy, like a school boy with his first dirty mag. Ok enough of the drama, I surely say no prob Bro. And I take over for him.

The very 1st thing I do after I take over the helm is look into his account. (shush, don't tell him.) Broke-ass MoFo, no wonder I'm always bankrollin' his punk ass. Just jokin' on both accounts, I didn't look into his account and he ain't broke. *wink* *wink*

2 to 3 cycles after he leaves comes the first pr of Ladies. Guy in MP min raises and I bump it up to about 6xBB. Hole cards fold all the way back around to initial raiser who calls. Flop comes K6Q. He bets and I smooth-call. Turn brings another K. He goes allin, I call and double up to a little over 9000 in chips.

I play tight. I tried to steal the blinds once from the button and get raised allin. I fold my KQs.

I play tight for a long time as the blinds chip away at me. (Booo. I know, I said "chip" away. No pun intended. Honestly. I wouldn't even stoop that low for attention.) I'm all the back down to 5800 and the blinds are 150/300 with an ante of 25 and there are only about 40 people left in the event. I look down at AA baby. I saved this HH and another one and I'll post them at the end. (Really, so my Bro can look and see that I didn't purposely squander away his $100.) One guy in EP limps and I don't even want to play around, so I go allin. To my total befuddlement 2 more players also go allin behind me. The first limper limps away. We flip over pocket aces, pocket queens, and pocket Kings, respectively. (My heart is pounding as I realize my great odds just left the building, like an old, gay gold glasses wearin', Elvis impersonator, with a thyroid problem.)(As you can tell, I'm still a little pissed.) The K comes on the flop and my stack plummets. But hey, on the bright-side, I win the side pot against the Q's so I'm still in the game with a measly 2300. Had my Aces held-up I would have skyrocketed to over 17000 in chips and unless something drastic happened, for all intents and purposes, in the money.

I blind away for a few more rounds and the blinds go up to 200/400/50. In MP, the seat to my right raises 3xBB and I go allin. It is folded back to him, who calls. My AK holds up against his AT and I double-up to around 4000.

A few circuits later, with the stakes the same, the Ladies show up to party once more. I have a touch under 3000 and close to being the short stack in the tourney. I go allin and get 1 caller, who turns over AJ. The flop once again brings the dreaded dagger, yet this time it's the final nail in the coffin.

I go out in 31st place. Almost got ya to the money Bro.

Ultimate "Beat", ya gott'a love it. And watch out for those Ladies, they'll turn on you in a minute.

Cool story and tough luck.

Mindwise (the guy that busted you) is the guy that runs PokerXFactor. Not the pro who makes all the videos but the technical guy who develops all the videos and hand history analyzer.
