So I just busted out of the 10k at Commerce in the most absurd way. Before I go into detail with my bust out, I'll describe how my tourney went. Day 1 was kind of rough for me, as I got stuck at a real tough starting table with SCTrojans, Bushman, Neal Wang, and two other kids who play online 25/50 NLHE. I hovered around 20k (which was starting stack) until our table broke, and I got moved to a much softer table where there was the most absurd young kid lagtard ever to my left. At first I was just thinking that this monkey was on the most insane tilt ever, opening every other hand at the 100/200 level to a size between 425 and 500. In one hand, he opened to 475 with J4o from UTG and got in another 7k vs a short stack after flop came 3-4-8 all hearts (as he held the Jh). I proceed to play the following hand vs him: I raise to 600 with AK, he flats behind me, and one of the blinds flats. Flop comes 2-3-3 rainbow. Blind checks, I bet 1350, the lagtard behind me called and the blind folded. Turn was K, so I check and the kid thinks for a little bit then checks back. River was a 5, and I value bet 2,000 and he INSTANTLY tosses in 6k total. This was pretty puke since it really didn't feel like he was bluffing, and I was pretty positive he didn't have a hand like 3X or 22 since he check turn and slowplaying was not something he was doing with his current image at the table. So he had to have exactly 55 right? Which made me kind of sick to think that he rivered a 2 outer on me. Finally I just came to the conclusion that this is a bluff a higher % of the time than most people's raise in this spot (even thou I thought that % was real low) and thought he could also be going for VERY thin value with some hand that float flop and hit K on turn, so I called and he showed 64. /wrists

So that put me down to 7k, I squeezed AJs and got it in vs 88 to double to 15k, won a pot to get up to 16k, then hit a set when the lagtard hit top pair which ZOOOOMED me up to 32k. From there the rest of the day went pretty smooth. I ended up trying to fight back with the lagtard, but he toasted me with a 5 bet bluff (yea he was that sick) and bashed me back into my nit cave for the rest of the day, which was fine since the rest of the table sucked so whatever. With 5 mins left in the day I had 50k, and jmc (10/20 reg on stars) raises in CO, I flat button with KQ, and blind called. Flop came K-9-4 rainbow, and went check check to me so I bet smallish little under half pot, the blind folded and jmc check-raised all-in for like 2x pot so I called and he had 96o. Turn 9. Fuck my life T_T, so I end the day with 40,675.

My Day 2 table was super soft with the exception of Hafizzle and Neal Wang. Lucky for me, hafizzle never got things going and ended up busting pretty early. Neal Wang, however, got a hold of some chips and became a little bit of a pest to my left. To my right, there were two massive fish who clearly have no clue what they are doing. At the 200/400 level, it got folded to one of the fish who raised on the button to 1200, I reraised to 3400 w/ QsQc and he called. Flop came T-5-4 all hearts and I bet 5400, and he shoved for ~45k effective. Wat? I ask him if he knew how deep we were and he nodded, saying that he clearly ment to shove like x4 pot. I fold and he showed me Kh and said he had a pair with it. Later he claimed KK. That's fine. Lost a flip, missed a draw, got down to 30k, then won a flip, and raised some more pots and got myself up to 45k by the 300/600 level. I noticed my table had gotten pretty tight, as the blinds were raising so I decided to open up and start bringing some noise. Got my stack up to 60k without a showdown, easily being the most active at the table. Then this happens--->

That same fish who over-jammed pot on that earlier hand, opens in early position to 1600 from his 54,000 stack. I look at 88 and flat call in middle position. The small blind ends up calling too. Flop comes: Qc-8s-5c. BOOOYYAAAA!!! Small blind checks, the fish who raised checks, so I make my usual small gay 2900 bet. SB thinks for a bit, and counts out a raise, but then the nit inside of him made him fold. Action back around to the fish raiser who starts shuffling and moving around his chips, I see him say something so I take my headphones off to ask what he said. "I'm All-in" was the first words I heard, so I looked at the dealer and asked "What did he say?" The dealer announces the All-in and puts the All-in button in front of him. So fireworks are going off in my head, and I can hear people cheering my name as they shoot of streamers and sing songs of glory for my success. I stand up and give it the big wind-up fist pump like "YEEAAAAHH I CALL!!!!"

The fish calmly looks at me.......... then rolls over QQ.
