Last night was the poker league season IV tournament. As the person that won the most in the regular season, I started with the biggest stack. Unfortunately, I finished in 5th place and out of the money.

There were two hands that did it. I went from TC2,500 to TC1,000 by being stupid. I flopped middle set and a draw to the flush in PL O/8. There was a lot of betting to the board of 568, so I figured my two opponents had the 79 or the A2 or both. I had outs coming out of my ass with two streets to come. Nothing came, the two staights split the high, and one of them backed into the low.

I had a 58% chance of winning the high. In holdem, this is a calling situation. In O/8, where I can expect to only win 1/2 the pot, I need to be at least a 66% favorite to justify the call. 58% is not 66%. Crap.

So, I missed out on the opp to win the $200, $100 or $30 prize for 1st, 2nd or 3rd. My equity would have been about $100 had I won that hand, so I pissed away $100 of theoretical money.

I busted out going all in with 99 and getting called by AA. Hey, that's poker.

Losing that $100 felt a little bit better when this happened tonight...
