Sickness in Victory
So this was supposed to be my victory post. The first positive post in here in forever. I think ED asked me last week if I ever win. This was supposed to be the post. And it still kind of is. Tonight was still my best night, results-wise in over a month. Still, you guys tell me how satisfied you would be with this.....
Played the same 4 MTT's I played last night.

UTG wins 5970 ( won +3000 )

But after that, I cashed in the next 3 consecutive MTT's. That's good!
I won some T$ in a satellite.
I final tabled the SAME EXACT PLHE MTT that I finished 3rd out of 184 on Sunday night that I should have won. That's good, right!
Hmm.....with 4 people left I thought I was in perfect position to win it again. I had just raised preflop, gotten called by 2 of the most aggressive players at the final table and runner-runnered the 3rd nut flush with 2 people pushing into me. I JUST WON THE DAMN THING!

Finished 3rd again out of 164
The exit hand, 2 hands later was another insult. All-in with 22 OTB 3-handed. BB has 76o and calls. Flop 34x Turn 5.
But I'm still in the PLO8 tournament. We're down to the final 2 tables from 208 players.
[4s][Qs][Ah] in MP
1 limper and I raise enough to get 1/3 of my stack in preflop. Limper calls, he has me slightly covered.
Flop
[2d][Kd]
I bet enough to put in just about the rest of my stack. Limper c/r's to put in the last 1K. He flips over
[3c][5h][Kc]
Could he have picked out 3 more perfect cards for the flop with his hand?
Want even more of an insult.
on the turn to make his wheel and let me think for a second that I had re-sucked a 2 outter.
I'm not all up on my O8 odds, but I think that right there is like one of the biggest favorites you can be in a hand preflop in Omaha 8. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Bleh, finished 17th. That hand woulda made me 2nd in chips.
So still my best day of the month, but I could have entirely pulled myself out of the hole for October for the 2nd time and ran into the wrong cards at the wrong time. Who's satisfied here?
