Well, 4 1/2 hours of poker for nothing this time.
I was pretty short with the blinds at 1600/800 and a 200 ante. At this level I maybe had maybe 5 circuits left.
I'm in the BB with A9c and all fold to the SB who has maybe 3-4x my chips.
He raises to 4k, and I just smell a steal here. I shove. In hindsight, I may have had enough chips to wait for a better hand, but I really did think I was just getting pressured for a steal.
He calls and turns over A8d.
All was good until the third diamond on the board hit on the RIVER, and I'm done.
Without that freakin diamond, I double up and with 25-30 players left out of 160 (and dropping like flies) I have a reasonable shot at the money.
I was unhappy.
