So I bubbled the tournament at Shawn's yesterday and I can't stop thinking about the hand that crippled me. I got different opinions from different people at the table after it happened but here's how the hand went down.
7 people left blinds at 1500/3000, 200 ante
The 3 people involved in the hand:
Brett- approx. 30,000
Me- approx. 67,000
CrownNSeven- approx. 58,000
Folds around to the cutoff where Brett (my buddy/guest) raises to 9,000. I'm in the SB with K :spade: Q :spade: . I call. CrownnSeven is in the BB and reraises to 18,000 total. Brett folds. Its another 9,000 for me to call so I call.
Flop comes Q :club: 10 :club: 6 :diamond:
I check and Crown shoves for a little over 40,000. I tried getting a read on him but didn't come away with much. I let him know I had a queen. He struck me as being a little bit weak, but he really wasn't giving much away. After a minute or two I made the call. Of course he's got K :club: K :diamond: and I brick out and bust on the bubble a few hands later.
I'm not going to try and justify my call to make myself feel like I played the hand okay and there was just nothing I could have done. I am so pissed off that I bubbled this tournament for the second straight year after sitting pretty with almost 70k in chips. If anyone wants to offer any opinions I'm up for it. Obviously folding preflop would have worked out beautifully. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
