May SBR tournament leaderboard contest standings.

[downsouth]

Im just rounding into form.

[Nittany Lion]

Damn, finished 10th in the 10pm ET tonight, blinds were 600/1200 and I had AJ, I pushed all in preflop with 6k in chips and got called by AK. Flop came AQ3 so even if I had just called the BB my fate was sealed, not folding AJ.

[ThaddeusB]

Looks like WillC is also making a late charge (currently 2nd with 4 left in 10pm), but he probably has too much ground to make up to hit top 3 in this contest.

I thought today was the last day?

Bill, you're a great player yourself. I was worried you may catch up to me but noticed you missed some tourneys. You sound like a really great father, nothing more important than family. Hope to see you in June.

[BeerDog99]

Congrats to all the winners, even though OBV SBR is making the cards hit for you!!! :-) (joking...)

[Nittany Lion]

I'd like to see somebody pass up Thaddeus on the final 2 days just for shits and giggles

I will don't worry.

[yisman]

Pretty unlucky day.

Down to 88 something (889?). Go all in with AJ, because otherwise I'm going to get drained soon.

A donk calls with 4J off, flop comes 4. I lose. Finished 19th.

Very dumb call, because I played the whole time by the book and didn't raise/bet without a pretty good hand.

Also, no normal chat people at my tables. The chat was people cursing each other out for 5 minutes, and then all was silent.

I actually didn't want to play 3 PM, but by the time I remembered, I was locked in.

[bill2266]

thanks for all the kind words gl to all and see you guys at the tables

[yisman]

damn, going to finish out of the points. This is frustrating.

[ThaddeusB]

1 day left, so unless downsouth gets top 3 today you still have a chance.

[ThaddeusB]

I decided to finish the month strong. I was actually playing for 9th (to get my lead above 10), but kept hanging around at the final table. Somehow I moved all the way up to third, which mathmatically guarantees me points and realistically guarantees me 1st.

[yisman]

yeah not mathematically out but I'd have to finish high tomorrow, so odds are slim indeed.

[ThaddeusB]

No points for DS today, so 3 points tomorrow (8th place) gives you a shot. Good luck!

[downsouth]

Well two straight brutal beats and Im eliminated out of money. Both by the same guy, cloudagh. First he raises early and I have AK. Flop come A 3 7 two clubs. He checks I bet slightly under the pot. He min raises and I push he calls. My Ak vs his AJ. Turn blank river the beatiful jack. And I take a monster hit.

Later have stack back to around 4k or so and I get KQ on button. Two limpers ahead so I call and see flop. J 10 3, no flushes, Checks to me and I check. Ace on turn, I have nuts. CHecks to me again and I bet three quarters of pot, guy pushes, I call. He slow played flopped set of threes. Surprisingly river pairs board and Im gone.

[yisman]

So you had a straight?

[downsouth]

So you had a straight?

Yes, I turned straight, all the chips went in and he rivers a boat.

Not as bad a beat as first one but still pretty frustrating.

[downsouth]

Somebody please screenshot the 10pm for me.

[BeerDog99]

woohoo, finally placed again!

[bill2266]

congrads beardog99 nice 2nd place

[BeerDog99]

Thanks man.

I just looked at the standings and the ironic thing is that the mid-20s pts is rammed and therefore, I only went up one place over you! :-)

Good luck in June!

Cheers.

congrads beardog99 nice 2nd place

[4uk4life]

Man I was so busy with cookouts, I forgot to play for the first day in ages.

[downsouth]

Alright guys. Im out most of day but I will have standings and probably final standings tongiht.

Good Luck

[yisman]

I'm in trouble in the 3 PM. I would've liked to play later, but there's an awards ceremony tonight.

Looks like I'm going to finish 4th this month. I'll be back next month, and since I'm around more often, I should be able to play when I want. Hopefully I keep hitting those final tables.


hmm, maybe I spoke too soon. I'm still alive. I won a nice hand.

edit: ok, I have a shot.

[yisman]

really bad luck on a string of hands

10K, someone had only 320, so they bet all in, five callers, including me.

10 and two lower cards hit on flop, I raise, everyone folds. So it's me and the all in guy. Turns out he had A10. Outkicked.

Then someone goes all in with about 1100, I call with A7, turns out it's JJ. Lose, down to about 1100. Then the next few hands I get disconnected twice and have awful hands on the blinds.

It was looking promising. I might've been able to fold my way to the final table.


finished tied for 14th. AJ lost to AQ. KJ10 hit, giving the 10 to A straight.

My average finish was 19th this month.


congrats to thaddeus, cuse, and downsouth
