WCOOP #10 - $1050 NL Holdem

Well todays event didn't go very well. I was card dead the whole time and the few big hands I picked up I ran into bigger hands. It seemed like everytime I was in a pot I would miss the flop and my opponent(s) would hit it. I was once again at a loose and aggressive table so it was almost impossible to pick up chips without getting a hand.

My bustout hand was when I picked up 97s on the button and had about 3k in my stack. I made it 400 to go and got called by the small blind who had been very loose and aggressive. The flop came K62 and he led out for 450. It really felt like a probe bet and that he only had a pocket pair like 77-TT and I figured if I pushed he would fold since I had been pretty tight the past few orbits and hadn't been making any moves. I also figured if he had a weak king like KT or KJ he would fold it. He ended up thinking for a few seconds and then making the call with AK. I really didn't think he would just call with a hand like AK preflop but he did and of course he hit a great flop.

I was also in the Party Poker $1 Million tourney today ($215). However I was also completely card dead in that tourney. Being card dead in both tourneys was very frustrating. When I finally picked up AK in the big blind it was minraised and called before me and I just pushed. The orginal raiser folded but the caller on the button made the call with 99. I flopped a king but the turn and river were both spades putting four on the board and he had the 9 of spades and made a flush to knock me out.

My next event in the WCOOP won't be until Wednesday with Event #13, $320 6-handed PL Holdem. The 6-handed events I usually have pretty good success in and hopefully I can turn my bad run in this WCOOP around with a solid cash in that.
