no luck

u need to get lucky to do a well in a tourney, and
i cant get the luck when i need it.

Final or crucial hands of tournaments -
losing Ks v 10s (finished on the bubble of the main draw)
losing js vs aj (finished on the bubble of the weekly tourney)
losing ks vs a-4 (big part of stack on sunday tourney)
lost j8 v 47 in the blinds (finished in the money on the sunday tourney)
losing trip 9s against js on the turn (knocked out of saturday tourney)

The best hand ive won is ak v qs, which is a coin flip, anything
else as an underdog ive lost.

Main draw i played almost flawless poker.

One hand i limp in with aces in first position, hoping
for raise, everyone folds to the blinds.

Flop comes 8-5-4 (2 spades). Both check to me I bet,
small blind raises and big blind calls. I put
the small blind on 2 pair, and the big blind on a
straight. Unforunately running spades came out and
i woulda made a flush, but hellmuth would have been
proud of that lay down. Coz at the showdown I was
spot on. Sometimes it pays to be stupid.

Oh well.
