Friday nights are always challenging to me. The Legion has so many good players and so many donks. One guy fancies himself a pro (well two including me) playing online and talking about his success. When I used sharkscope to find out how he really did I was amazed at the amount of his losses....in excess of $16,000. Wow.
Last night he was getting lucky in various ways. Best example was reraising all-in a big preflop raise. Turns out he had AK offsuit and the original raiser had AA. The flop ran runners to give both players a wheel, but also a diamond flush for him. Second example was playing 2/3 suited against a raise and flopping 2/2/6 snapping a big pair. His downfall was limping with AA and getting snapped by 4/7 offsuit in the BB on a 4/7/x flop. The reason he limped was that he was trying to trap a super donk who was running over the table with his luck.
At no time during the tournament did I have more that maybe 200 more than starting chips of 2200, so it is a minor miracle making the FT. There were several spots that I should have shoved as a short stack for key double or triple ups, but I waited too long. Final hand: trapper donk in BB with A/7 (400/800 blinds), me UTG with 8/8, other donk calls my all-in of 1000 with his K/J offsuit, donk 1 shoves another 1200, donk 2 calls. Flop has a king and we are both gone, me bubble plus 1, him bubble boy.
