Our crew went to a big tourney last nite. 35 people with $60 buy in. You started with 400 chips and blinds at $1/$2 with 45 minute levels! Talk about slow tourney. At the break, we played for over 3 hours and blinds were $4/8. I felt like I had to make a move soon, but my "M" was still over 30. I have never played a tourney where I just wanted to give up and go home. The tourney started at 4:00 and I bubbled on final money table at 2 in the morning! I bet they are still playing.
The play was horrible as usual. Everyone limping, no one knowing what the bet is or how to bet. Same people constantly asking same questions on how to deal the flop. People rabbit hunting. A guy ranting how he had QQ 4 times and every time he lost. Of course I get the guy on my right with a sinus cold coughing and shit all over me. Saying how he went for a cat-scan the other day because his sinuses were so plugged. Thanks buddy. Donk. I can't wait. There was a drunk Jerry Springer guest at my table bluffing every hand. He was amusing to me, but the whole table hated him. He was dropping the "n" word because I think he thought he was black. One guy was getting pissed at him for that. I just kept laughing. This dude was so gone, he was hiccuping. Plus he was so high, he didn't even know it. (Caddyshack quote)
On top of the slowwww structure, 33 of the 35 people were smoking. I am a non-smoker and usually smoke doesn't bother me, but after 10 hours of sitting in the smog, I think I had to burn my clothes when I got home. I got right into the shower at 3 in the morning so my bed wouldn't stink.
So, I work my stack up to about 1000 playing ABC poker all nite. Playing aggressive against the donkers with huge premium hands. We are down to 11 people and all my crew that I came with is knocked out and waiting for me. Payouts are horrible were its a $1700 pot and they pay top 9. Top 3 is only good pay days. I am painfully tired of the smoke, tired, tired of the drunks, donks, etc. Blinds like 40-80 and I have 1000. A9s gets cracked by 10-4 all-in. Down to 650 or so and blinds hit 50-100. It's go time. I'm in SB and a player I know limps UTG. I know if I push against him, he's folding. Cards don't matter. I have 9-4 sooted and push. BB wakes up with JJ and I almost win with a flush draw and 9 out there but no. I think I woulda cried at that point if I doubled up.
Then on the way home, we had to drive in 6" of snow/ice storm at 3 in the morning. My buddy and I decided we hate people in live tourneys and it's easier to play online. LOL.
I usually love to play poker, but last nite was the first time I just wanted to leave. Weird.
