WSOP Europe $500+25 satellite

Balance : $1212

I gave it a go….WSOP Europe satellite.  I figured it wasn’t that often this sat was coming up and I had deposited in a new site just to check it out…so I figured fate!  Still, I didn’t feel lucky.  But I have to try these things.
Early on I got KQ, pf raise.  I just called to see what would happen.  No idea how good/bad the raiser was but I had position.  Normally fold being tight but position got me in.  Hit the flush by 4th but decided to check down as I was cautious.  He bet a tiny amount on the turn so I just called, hoping he’d bluff the river.  He bets full pot on the river.  I call, aware of the nut flush and the board pairing on the river.  He shows a full house.

The same player ran super hot – hitting another FH and getting paid.  Then he crushes aces with QQ hitting trips.  Unreal.

Finally I was down to 3BB on the BB.  One raiser, he’s bad, he shoved with 75s earlier and got lucky against AK.  So I shove with 67s, not much choice.  He shows Q9 and I don’t hit. 

Finished 29/111 which I thought was a good result.

Cash game refined, very small leaks now.  But a few coolers.  I’m hanging in there.  Trying to whittle out these marginal JJ/QQ hands so they don’t show a loss.

 
Very cold cards, got it in with KK and won.  AJ sucked out on the river against AK to give me a straight.

Thereafter, I just got cold carded
