Bubble Boy
Brain freeze. I had it with 10 people left in the 46 man chiptalk.net tourney. 9 get paid. I have AJo in the SB. 3000 chips left with 300/600 blinds. Button raises to 1800. There are two people with shorter stacks. The raiser I have known to only show down good hands lately. So instead of folding and try to get into the money...what do I do? I go all in of course and run into AK. The end. sigh. I hate when I do stupid things like that.
Now on the flip side I shouldn't have really even made it that far. With 50/100 blinds I had A3 in the CO and I pushed all in after it was folded to me. Both the SB and BB call with AT and AK. The flop came J33 :) and I tripled up. I played well after that until the bubble :(
Tried Titan again and was able to make about $20 playing some short handed and full ring.
Also jumped on Pokerstars 2/4 short handed again and made about $40. Not bad. Man the swings were going to kill me though. I was up 40 at one point only to have KK in a big pot get rivered. then I was down 15. I played heads up with someone for a few hands after the table started breaking up and got back up to +10 and jumped off.
That's about it here. May the flop be with you!

I had an early exit from the Chiptalk tourney last night. After being an ass and trying to one up yeltzen on the 1st table, I was down to 600 in chips after 15 minutes.
I ended up calling an all-in with 99. My opponent had 77 and I thought I was going to ok. But the river handed him a gift 7 for the slotmachine and I was bye bye.
My mind certainly wasn't in the game last night so I headed to other ground and had fun on Party Poker of all places. Turned my $4 into $25 after a few hands of BlackJack and then winning a $5 SNG. Was fun.
Sorry to hear about bubbling out. It's a big killer to the mind.
