O.K. this is now officially ridiculous. Last night I bubbled on a 45 person tournament twice (well, once on the bubble, the other 6 away from the money). The ironic thing was that they were both against AQ, which as we all know is a trouble hand. The true bubble was really my fault. I raised from the cut-off with A-10 (the big time trouble hand). I was flat called by the button, who was the chip leader....rut row! The flop was A-small-small, 2 clubs. I bet half the pot, which was at least 1/2 my remaining chips and he re-raises me all-in. I should have smelled trouble at that point and run with my remaining chips, which would probably put me all in the next time I played or in the blinds. So, pot committed and suspecting a steal raise from the chip leader, or possibly a flush draw I call...bye-bye.
The next 45 person SNG I was also in good shape with 13 remaining. I limped in with K/10 suited, and the flop was great for me...K-J-10. It is checked to me, I bet the pot and am re-raised all-in, by.....AQ, the flopped straight! I of course call, and bye-bye. I must start to respect re-raises more!!!!
Finally, a word of wisdom: There are two secrets to success at poker. Rule #1, never tell your secrets.
