Despite finishing in 3rd place in a 62 player tournament today, I left frustrated and a little tilted. Down to 4 or 5 players with blinds at 2000/4000, I am in the big blind with 4/8. UTG limps a huge stack, short stack of 6500 shoves, the other big stack calls. Hmm, I call with great pot odds as does the limper. Flop is something like 10/2/2. We all check. Turn is a 7? We all check. River is an 8. Big stack 1 bets big, enough to put me all in. We both fold. He reveals k/Q and the all in scoops with weak ace. I was shocked. Later the other big stack is eliminated and 3 way I am in distant 2nd place. The big stack was raising light, like very weak aces, so despite my opinion that I could outlast the shorter stack it was a snap call for all my chips with A/J suited when he raised. Oops, this time he had A/Q and I am out. I have not even left the table when the big stack offers to chop with the guy holding 2 blinds. Same guy he saved when he bet me off the best hand. Collusion? Think they were both Canadian and really clueless rookies. Never know. I was fairly happy with my $140 win on a $5. buy in ($20 free entry coupon used for all but bonus "dealer appreciation " chips).

Just checkin in. A chop like that seems weird to me. Maybe they were together. Who knows. Miss you at the game.....
