Played in a $10+1 NLHE tourney on Pokerstars tonight, a pseudo-turbo with 10-minute levels, and saw waaaaay too many bad beats, but two of the worst were hands I was involved in, one of which went in my favor, and one that didn't. The one I lost: blinds 15/30, UTG raises to 60, late position player makes it 150, I call from the small blind with 66, UTG calls. Flop comes 6-4-3 with two spades, UTG bets out, late position player pushes in, I push in, UTG calls. UTG has 10 10 (which I think I'd be folding here behind TWO all-ins), late position has JJ. 10 comes on turn, but fortunately I win the side pot vs. the player with JJ so I only lose a few hundred chips. Now here's the one I won :

I was able to double up again several hands later, but then a combination of going card-dead and extremely slow players on my tables meant the blinds basically chewed me up after a while. I was able to fold my way into the money, and of course right after the bubble burst I pushed UTG with King-Jack off (my least-favorite hand, although it didn't really matter what my cards were, as I only had twice the big blind so I was pushing with anything) and got called by Ace-Jack off, busting 81st, and winning a whopping 6 bucks or so. The positive news is that's 3 tourney cashes in a row for the house, as my wife finished in the top 5% in a $20+2 earlier in the day and tripled up on her investment. We're building momentum on our way to the Foxwoods Poker Classic !
