Went all in, had Ace and Queen and fellow had 10 and Jack and picked up 2 more jacks!

After dinner I was able to get my stack over 100k in short term but then went card dead and got blinded way down to the 70's when the blinds were 1500/3000 with 400 ante.
then i fucked up. tired? not sure. i was the small blind in seat 9 and seat 3 looked like he called with 3 chips. the colors of these fuckers are pretty close and i'm not the only one saying this.
anyway, he was the only called and i looked down at KQ suited. i had 1500 in with my blind and decided to raise it up and hopefully take the pot down right there.
so i announced "raise" and put in $12K. well, guess what? the seat 3 bet $15K not called $3k and I was forced to min raise to $30K.
Flop comes A--, I check, he bets $15K and I call with a 4 flush. Next card is a small club, I check and he shoves. I fold. FUCK! i'm such a dumb ass. now I'm left with ~29K.
Next hand I get AQ hearts. 2 guys go all in and i don't have mucj choice and this would be a good opportunity. I call and one has 77 and the other has JJ. GREAT, just what i want. guy gets 4 jacks and i nam sent home.
11 and a half hours and i'm sent home in about 90th place and my dick in my hand.
back at it today at noon.
i jusdt knew i was going to make a nice score in that tiurney yesterday but i blew it all on my own.

Yup, Jack back in the saddle today! Started noon in the tourney. He seems about average stack now. Will get update from him at next break, about half an hour.
He's sitting at a corner table, white shirt with cap
whoop! :toast: just did quick stroll over there and he doubled up!

Jack went up to get a smoothie, so I haven't gotten update yet.
I did catch Jim walking by. He said his table pretty crazy, 3 folks got quads before the first break! He got full house, after a nothing card on river, but worried at last second when fellow came in hard, so folded. No point taking chance that early--if Jim came over him, guy woulda gone all in. Guy had quad 4s!
Jim got pocket aces 5 times! But there has been at least 10 at his table. (Pocket Aces appear 220 to 1 in the long run) He slowed played one pocket aces "for the first time in my careers" and "it paid off".
Jim at $35K, Jack had that when I looked (as mentioned above) then right after that he lost $12K. break over in a few minutes..
Jack back now and likes those smoothies!

It is the Venetian "Deep Stack Extravaganza III 2010"
Noon $350 buy-in. 20 levels. Average stack now is $23K
602 entered today, 311 left playing.
Players start out with $10,000 in chips--that's why I don't bother to arrive until after the first few hours to set up my "office" in the Venetian food court (outlets and very nice wifi!):

Jack has $36K, Jim has $37.5K
Average stack is $32,107. Jack and Jim have been just waiting, watching others making big moves and some getting knocked out. But time is now for them to do something, they say...

Thanks for the updates I'm going crazy not knowing what's going. I wish I was a railbird right now go..... MJ.
Never met Jim but best of luck as well.

Here's today's deal.
10th level. blinds $600/$1200 $100 ante
I have $35K and I am under the gun.
I see QQ and bet $5000, 1st to my left calls and late position calls.
Flop is QJT (T = 10) rainbow.
I think for a minute and check. Guy to my left insta goes all in and has me covered. Late position tanks and goes all in and has me covered. I am afraid of AK but fuck it, I'm short stacked now.
Guy on my left has KK and the other guy has KJ.
Fucking turn is the ace and the board doesnt pair oin the river and i leave with my dick in my hand again.
Will try again tomorrow.
:facepalm:

Nice hit on video poker that should bring you back to even for the tourneys. How many more days are you there for? I feel like jumping in the car and coming out there.
I'm about 10 hours away.
