I CHIP DUMPED TO QUEENSUP!

But not on purpose...

I only played in the BBT 3 times this month, and Final tabled all 3. Was hoping to be the dark horse in Hoy's predictions, but alas I had to settle for 3rd place in last nights Mookie.

I played pretty well early on, chipped up steadily, and had my big hands hold. At the final table I was doing well until Lucko (shorty) decided to call (after using up most of his time bank) my AIPF shove (AQdd) with 22. I hit the Q on the flop, but get rivered by the inevitable 2 outer. A little while later I take him back down with AA, then threw a beat on him myself when my A9ss spiked a 9 to take out his AQ and knock him out of the tourney. I freely admit it wasn't pretty, but I'll take what I can get...

After that, it all went downhill.... no other way to say it, but I played awfully when it got down to 3 handed. I basically gifted my stack to Queens. He was big stack and pushing the two of us around and I had absolutely NOTHING to push back with. After blinding down to about 30k I finally decide to stop and go with AQdd, but of course Queens insta calls with presto (and hits an extra 5 on the turn for good measure) and I'm out in 3rd.

Oh well, there's always next year. Probably won't be able to make the sunday games, so I'll take this opportunity to throw out a big thanks to Al for putting the BBT together.
