Grrrr Frustrating Day

Damn it well frustrating. Hangover seemed to get worse as afternoon went on so i slept again then woke up and decided to play hardly any multis as i knew i wouldnt be in the right frame of mind. Busted early in a $100 but made it deep in a $70 (with about 25% added value) . Also played cash alongside and had been steady all day until a couple of overpair vs sets which i was close to getting away from but just not quite good enough.

Ok well the tourney, like i say very frustrating. Good structure and i got a double early as poor standard like most these days. Here are key pots later on, there were 850 entrants and i finished 33rd in the end for a rubbish $412.

120 players left, 2 allins b4 me and i have AA. Dont like it but obv call. Its QQ and 77 and the QQ makes a 4 card flush. Pot would have put me 2nd/120 on a monster stack in what was a very tight game towards the business end. Crippled and annoyed i still remain patient and make the cash before gambling as its a fast structure at that point and lots have blinded out. Win a J10 vs AQstd for a decent pot and stack increases nicely with 1 or 2 steals after where possible. Then playing 55k at 2500,5000 blinds my QQ runs into KK and i lose another huge pot that would have put me 5th/38 on a monster stack. Next hand i more than double Q9 vs J9 before a few hands later going out Q9 vs 55 for a pot that would have put me 12th/33. Top 3 were $16,000/9,300/6000 so obviously i was targeting those and am gutted.

So who knows what im up or down on the day, prob a little up but dont care. Was after the big stuff and didnt enjoy playing at all after wasting another day hungover. Oh well 1 week today i will be in Las Vegas ...cant come quick enough especially if the weather forecast is right for this week !
