Tourney Go for the Gold...? (2 Viewers)

Not a "nay sayer". Just reinforcing my initial statement when you were making your decision on what to do with the seat.

glad you had a good time. Looking forward to a full report.

Oh, afraid I'm trying to forget poker for the moment... Played cash afterwards, and the pocket jacks did me in AGAIN!!!

Grossest beat I've ever had. I know some people hate bad beat stories, so I spoilered it, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to.

Spoiler: Sickest Bad Beat

I'm on the button w/ $200, playing 1/2 NL on a straddled pot, guy across from me in LP raises to $20, I look down at JJ, I flat, guy in EP calls. $50 in the pot. Flop comes 22J. Guy bets $20 again, I raise to $50, EP folds, LP calls (after thinking hard). I'm praying he has a major overpair, as I'm 100% positive the guy didn't raise pre w/ a deuce in his hand. Onto the Turn, board runs 22J2. LP guy checks to me, I shove my remaining $130+ into the middle. Guy tanks, then calls (I'm fist pumping inside). The river is a deuce (22J22), and the guy flips over AK to scoop with quads (with an Ace kicker).... Really, he took that line with AK and nothing else? Pocket 3's was ahead of him until the river... ~$425 pot. Felt like I was punched in the gut. Miracle deuce.
