Sometimes merely playing poker just isn't quite good enough and yesterday, well it was just one of those days.
After showing two "Bammer's" early on, I took advantage of a pretty nice flop when VinNay was interested in seeing some cards.
Yeah I had TPTK but I think having the 9-3 out there, was just enough to scare Vin out of the pot.
VinNay then put me to the test a little later. After my early position raise, Vin jammed in on me and I had to make a decision with just a small pair.
I know, I know! I'm probably supposed to make the call there no matter what. I didn't though and you know what? It wouldn't be the last time I'd fold those cards.
Smokkee and I then got in to it on one hand. I actually wasn't that thrilled about holding my Asian-Jew here, but the price was right to see it all the way through.
Of course what kind of tournament report would this be, if I didn't insert at least one token "Bammer" shot for the win?
I had one major bluff hold up here against PinkyStinky, when I knew the only way I could win was to make a move.
After just chugging along for a bit, Fuel put me to the test with the 88 once again.
I guess I just wasn't ready to leave yet, so I folded them again.
Then I guess when I was finally ready to get off the table, I seriously over played my pocket pair.
"There's only two hands ahead of me." I said, as I jammed pre-flop.
Of course, I was up against one of them!
So I bust.
So that's it for my BBT5.
I managed to final table/in the money right on 30% of the games I played and thanks to AlCantHang and the fine folks at FullTilt Poker, I net a tidy little $562.00 profit for my efforts. Not exactly the cash I was hoping for when I dedicated myself to playing well in this thing, but far more than I probably deserved!

Q-Q into K-K is pretty much a cooler.
If you were playing live and had a good read, you might get away from it, but it's hard to do that when playing online.
