Nucking Futs

Yes thats what I was going last night after I busted yet another MTT around 20th place out of ~1350 players. There were couple of calls/raises that I could have avoided but both involved around 25% of my stack. At that stage in a tourney, I guess its okay to go for coin flips. I know a lot of people do but I usually sit back and watch the action as at some point some one would walk into my trap. I had doubled up to 135K(2k/4K) when I raised 3x in late position with 33, BB with around 33K shoved(AQ) and after the raise, I knew I had to call. He made broadway on the river(just flop ace as usual, why inflict so much pain on me). Then again, I was super lucky last night to survive KK vs AQ twice. The second time a flush draw on flop and dodged it. The other hand, I could have avoided, I was in BB with 80K and short stacked UTG+2 - 23K shoved. It was folded to me (3K/6K) and holding 89 I finally called. UTG+2 doubled up with JTs. Later on he would be the same guy who would be chip lead at the table and knock me out. Such trivial hands go a long way for some people.

As for Nucking Futs that is the name of my pool team. I love the name, any team I get into its pretty much guaranteed this as team name! Tomorrow is my league game and hopefully I will be back to my winning ways and also the last day of the season. Wish me luck so that I would end up top gun at my league. Until then, good luck to you all at the tables and I will come back with a post about an MTT win at PS as I had envisioned.
