Brilliant.... NOT!!

well hope everyone had a good wkend, mine was ok, didn't play poker at wkend or monday morning as had to get up early to go on a course!!

so this morning i get up and am raring to go!!
i join the $2.25 turbo as usual.. no much then a few hands in i get Q9clubs, i in mid/late position no raises so i call to see what happens, well think SB or button makes a 1 or 2 x BB raise which we all call, so bout 4 see the flop..... K94 with 2 clubs!! a bet of half pot from early position is then raised to bout 360 from mid position....... there one player after me all average stack sizes bout 1400...... i have pair and 2nd best flush draw so i figure i can call to see the turn... well the button reraises to bout 780!! the first bettor folds but the 2nd goes all in for his remaining 1000, this pot getting very big!! now as the button reraised he could have AK,AA,KK maybe with a club..... and the 2nd bettor with the all in could have similar so my pair is well behind but my flush could be enough if i hit it......... i decide that i have to take a shot at this monster pot!! so i go all in, the button calls.. so to the race..
button has AA with a club, overpair with a runner runner flush possible,
2nd caller has K rag for just top pair crap kicker and no flush draw!!!
and i have my pair 99's with KQ94 of clubs for the flush so i behind but got outs

the turn........ 6 of clubs!!! thats it i am ahead
the river....... 2... of clubs :( , bugger, gave the button the nuts ace high flush and thats me out in 7th!!

fate can be cruel, not the baddest of beats i know, oh well

so what to do now with plenty,well 20 mins before i need go to work???

feeling ambitious i open 2 tables up at 5c/10c and put $10 on each... a bit foolish maybe... well as time turned out definately!!

on the first table a few hands in i get 99 on the button, i raise to 50c, get 1 caller ... the flop was so sweet.... 9,9,7!!! flopped quads now how do i get all his money..... easily it turned out, he bets the pot i have a long dwell and then just call, turn ? now the only bad point was his lack of cash.. he now goes all in for bout $2 ish of course i call and win, shame he didn't have more anyway up to $15

the other table doesn't go so well getting no cards and the one time i do get A10 someone goes all in for like $6 pre flop!!!!!! i fold and then it gets worse, i make top pair on a flop i bet out & get called, turn no danger so i bet out again and get called, river mite of been an ace not sure anyway i check and the caller bets like 50c, so by now i figure just call and see where i am, well the river gave him 2 pair or something that beat me!! i was ahead all way til then!!

well i didn't notice it but the old tilt monster had arrived, i started playing more hands, raising when i was clearly beat to try and force them off the pot which i didn't and before i knew it i had spunked the lot on 1 table!!!!!!

well i wasn't safe on the other table either!! couple of flush draws, open ended str8 draws later i was down to $7, then i get AQ or something thats looks like pure gold right then so i jam it in and of course get called by either someone who had me beat or hit a card on turn to do it.... can't quite remeber

so there i was out of both tables... out of the tourny........ christ what was i thinking, i wish i could remember more of the hands so i could tell you where i blew it all but its just a blur!!

so account now at about $40!! it was nice while it lasted!! gotta get my A game back and start grinding out the profit soon!!!

Not sure about the "Queen 9 club" play. Even though the pot odds could have been ok, you a risking your whole stack when you know you are behind and are hoping to improve. You were behind when the money went in and lost the hand, it doesn't really matter HOW the hand was lost. If you keep getting the money in when you know you are ahead, this will be a better long term profitable play, you will get outdrawn sometimes but profit in the long run..

Hi there.

"fate can be cruel, not the baddest of beats i know, oh well"

The above sentence worried me a bit m8 - remember, you got in in behind and finished behind, so it wasn't a bad beat. Be careful you don't think you're unlucky all the time, you can get deluded that way - that's my advice.

Good luck, and play tight at the lower levels.
