120th? lol!

I found a little mtt to have a bash on this evening,$4 +40cents, 4000 starting chips & 15 min blinds,269 of us sat down for some action!! On hand 6 i get KK,i raise a fair bit & get to see the flop with 1 other,it comes A74 rainbow!! i decide to bet the pot and get re raised all in! time for a big lay down,i fucking hate having KK,i never win with them and always see a poxy A on the flop!! That was the only real drama early doors,no need to go mental with so many chips & small blinds.A little pot here & there and i advance to 6k,then lose a fair bit when yet again my KK gets rivered to give shorty a set of 6's! So 1st break & i'm on 3k (below average & only 131st)
Not many cards come my way so i shove AI like a donk with 66 & get called by AJ that fails to improve,now i'm up to 83rd of 125.
Then just as i'm getting some rhythm its all over!! I limp with A8,flop gives me A86,i slip a big bet in and for some reason get a re raise!! o well,i guess he's got squat as he also limped so i call,the turn is a 2,so again i bet a load,matey goes AI but has me covered,i call & he shows A10 the mug!! You can guess the river!! gg me.....!!
Thats the way it goes!! Shame,i reckon i could have gone on to cash,but theres allways tomorrow! No harm done,i start up a $5 stt & cash for a massive 10 bucks,so i paid for the mtt!!!! gl all ...laterz

I find in the low stakes mtts that one hand can make or break the whole tournament. Still I love the entertainment of it all. Still very much new to the game and learning.

I used to be a horses man before I started playing. It's much better value playing poker.

I've had some spare time on my hand and have had a go at some poker satire.

Let me know what you think - if you can be arsed.

Sounds like a very common bad beat story to me. It happens to everyone. As for the KK, raising big when the Ace falls on the flop is usually a dead giveaway that you were not happy to see it. Sometimes you need to walk away, even though it is such an incredible starting hand.
