May 30th game
I went into the league game feeling super good after the decent cash session I had on the previous day. I started off being aggressive but very selective. I used my aggression against opponents that I knew would let me. I was able to build my stack to 13K at the first break, well above average. It was a rebuy tournament and for some reason, rebuy tournaments in the league brings out the stupidity in people. To each his own I guess. I sat back and let everybody play super loose (and BAD) and collected chips. Didn't really matter as you'll see. A few hands after the first level after the break this situation comes up. With the blinds at 200/400, I limp in the sb with 
behind a button limper and we see a 3 way flop of 

. Nice flop right!? I check (hoping to check raise in this spot), BB checks, and button goes AI for 16K. WTF!? Lets take a look here, 1200 in the pot, I have 17K behind and the button goes AI for 16K? I have absolutely no idea where I am at and I really didn't see an all in coming either. I didn't instacall. I ran the process through my head of what he could possibly have. I guess I could be beat. However, I thought the most likely scenario was a flush draw, maybe straight flush draw. I elected to call and my opponent tabled 
to my surprise and it holds. The hand basically knocked me out of the tournament since I was only left with 1K.
I was really dissappointed in the way I went out. At the same time however, I don't think I can get away from that hand in that spot. The only way I can is if I look at it that I only invested a total of 400 and I still have 17K behind, and I have NO IDEA where I am at in this hand. But I think that would be playing too conservative and I only play to take first.
That was the only situation worth noting in this session. See you at the felt!
