Sick Cooler

So I am playin these live tourneys at a casino in Tulsa Oklahoma, played 1 tiourney this morning and lasted all of 15 hands, I was legally drunk from the night before, went to a minor league hockey game, and a couple bars, was a long long night.

But anyways, I have no order in anything when I type. Friday I played some 2-5 at the casino nearest me on my way out of town, got stuck for 3500$ was kinda drunk, and running poor, and playing poor. Stacked off on semi bluffs with few outs, and got hero called, this frustrated me to no end, noone ever makes a hero call on me it seems, noone has the balls to chance it, I had mid pair and gutshot on flop in omaha, and was up against KKXX like I thought I was, (or AAXX obv) and I had pot the flop on 2 5 6 with 2 hearts, pot was 180$, so I get called in 2 places, turn is another 2 non heart, both check, I think to myself "how can I rep a monster?" So I bet 200$ into over 500$, I get called in one spot, then I move all in for 800$ and change on the river which is not a heart guy tanks and calls with the KKXX, so sick... messed my head up for a bit and I tossed the other 2K away quickly playing bad hands and just not giving up, though I almost clawed even. But had some brutal luck, didn't have right state of mind, was just too focused on getting "even" when thats not the way to play a game at any time, so I deserved to lose.

Then today was the first tourney I played, 550$ buyin, had like 140 players I think, small fields thus far I have heard, kind of dissapointing. But I busted it first level playing AA like a nimrod.

Played some 2-5 afterwards, up down up down, no cap buyin, I bought 500$ and was up to 1300$ or so, then lost a few pots got caught running plays, was down to 700ish and the table was growing so I get up and buy another 1K to add to my stack sit down have about 1700$ in front now and I kid you not within 5 hands this hand happens.

I am dealt AJo in early and make it 15$ to go (was making small raises prob 30% of hands, and larger raises in position, was very very active) get 2 calls and the flop is A J 2 with 2 hearts

Me and the big stack are in the hand, he has me covered and is the only one who does, I lead out with 30$ one folds and he calls me, the turn is a 10h I check and he checks behind.

Now this guy has been checking behind (in position) with big hands all day to try to throw people off, and it works vs a lot of people. It is the strongest way to play your hand in these games, people just auto assume you are bluffing, this kid was one of the better players I have played with in this state.

Anyways, the river falls an ace, board reading A J 2 10 A with 3 hearts

Pot is about 100$ and I fire 110$, which was a big bet, I do not expect much action to be honest but he grabs at a stack of his green chips and I think to myself nooo way, was so exciting for me, he grabs 400$ and throws it out sloppy, now I know he has a hand.

I count my stack down in my head and see I have 1300$ more behind me just calling, so now the question is do I shove? Do I make it like 500 more? If he has 22 he can muck his hand. So shoving is saying allowing him to muck 1010 (which he just cant have) or 22. And also muck his flush very easily.

Well he says to the table "you guys are gonna have to excuse me I am gonna need a minute on this" and he takes about 1 minute and makes the call and shows A2. Very sick cooler, 1 out ace made a big hand, very sick hand.

Tomorrow is a 500$ buyin horse, which I will final table, I am calling that right now. Though it won't be paying more than 12K-15K to winner, that is if the tourney fills out over 100 players. Would be nice to see 100+
