Stupid Laptop

I had a long post written up recapping the Vancouver tournament, but my laptop overheated and shut off, causing me to lose everything I had written. I know, I should have been using Word or another program which would still have saved it, but that would be too convenient.

I really don't feel like writing everything over again, so I will just recap the last hand. I had built up my original $15,000 starting stack to $50,000 with the blinds at $200/$400/$50 and I was in great shape to go deep.

I was playing like a complete maniac and opening at least 4 or 5 pots an orbit, when I pick up AA in mid position. People were starting to play back a bit so I knew some sparks were about to fly. UTG limps, I raise to $1600, folds to the BB who calls, UTG folds. The BB is the only player at the table who has me covered. The flop comes K42. BB checks, I bet $3500, BB calls. Turn is an A, giving me top set and putting 2 diamonds on board. BB checks, I bet $7500, he pushes all in! I pretty much insta call and he flips over 53. I miss my 10 outs on the river and I just leave the table in shock.

The average stack around the time was $28,000 and the pot was over $100,000. Looking back at the hand, I guess you could give him 53 there, but there are too many sets, 2 pairs, combo draw hands to get away from that.

Vegas is getting closer! I'm thinking of pushing my departure date back a few days because I have a bunch of things I'm working on right now. I might leave around June 8th or 9th.
