I hate sets
Had a brutal night at 2/5 on Friday. Was down 2 buy-ins after getting sets beat twice. First time I flopped a set of 7’s against QJ on a Q73 board and got it all in on the flop. Turn Q, River 3… ouch.
Second time was 66 on a T64 flop, check raised all in and got called by T4. He didn’t make a full house, but he did go runner runner flush. Ouch x2.
Recouped a bit of on a brief session of 2/5 Saturday though noting about the session was very remarkable.
Sunday was the last of the WSOP qualifiers that are being held here took place, first place a 12k prize package and 2-10 payed out cash. Played 1/2 before hand and scored a small win before jumping in the tournament.
Since I don’t feel like doing a write up on the entire tournament this time, I’ll just leave it that I ended up being the bubble boy. Final hand I was short stacked with pocket tens and a super aggressive donk raised 30k with the blinds at 3k/6k. I picked up pocket tens and called on the button. Super tight players in SB calls too and I know I’m beat. Donk showed AQ which I’m pretty sure was the second best had he held all day. SB woke up with KK, and flopped a set to lock the hand down.
Sets, can’t win with em, can’t beat em… time to look at flights for vegas. Guess I’ll be playing deep stack events at the Venetian or Caesars Palace this year.
