Yesterday I was a chip leader in tournament with approx. 44 BB, middle phase, rest of the table had like 20-ish BB. I was busted in two hands, one after another.
First one - with AK on the flop 10 7 K i called all-in from the guy on my right. He had QJ. Turn was 4 and then 10 hit the river, completing his open-ended. Ok, that was bad beat, i was tilted a little but still in play.
Next hand i was dealt KK, i open raised 2,5x, 3-bet all-in from the other guy, i snapped called and he showed KJ. Well, back on track - was my first idea.
Flop came - A 5 10, turn was a 6, river was a Q. And that was it, from hero to zero in just two premium hands, like 2,5 hours of ABC play wasted.
How i copped with tilt? Went all-in (35 BB) with A8 suited in the other tournament with 9 players and 6 tickets to win (very nit game in this phase). Was called by the guy with AK (42BB) and got one club on the flop, second on the turn and third one on the river. Went from 8th place to 1st and got my ticket 🙂
