Harrahs

Took the remainder of my bankroll and sat down at Harrah's.  Bought in for $180.  Had AJo 3 bet the but who raised to 6 i made 15 he folded.  Never was above $180... after that 3 bet hand i was up to around $160.  Lost most of my chips with KQ in the CO.  I overlimp with KQo and BUT raises to 12 SB calls folds to me, i call.  Flop comes AKx i check BUT Cbets 20 SB folds I call.  Turn is 8.  check/check river is 8 i check he bets 30 i call he shows T8.  Lesson, i had the feeling he was cbetting with a majority of his hands, i should've gone with my gut and raised it to 50-60.  That left me with around 90.  chipped down to 45... wake up with AA 3bet the same BUT as before, he 4 bet shoves with 78h i call and double up.  The final big hand was I wake up with JcJs and make it 6 to go, get 2 callers.  flop comes Qxx all clubs, SB goes all in for about 45 (same as me) I tank it and eventually fold.  UTG+2 does call with QJ board runs club club for a chop. (MY POT!)  They tried to give me my money back, i would've been back up to about $140 and felt rejuvenated.  Instead i felt like i continued playing bad.  I took $25 of the 65 i had left and bought into the tourney. 

I'm not sure why but i feel a lot more confident buying into tourneys than i do buying in for 50bb at a 1-2 table.  I'm almost positive that my lack of bankroll is affecting my judgment.  I was put into similar situations at the last home game we had.  I folded so many tough decisions to bluffs.  And it was attributed to not having enough money behind.  I'm sure if I have 1000bb instead of 30bb, and after those thirty I'm broke, i'm making a majority of those calls.

Tournament was just as tedious.  I don't think i really ever had a hand.  I wanna say, now that I think about it.. I was down to about 400 chips with 50/100 BB... I can't remember what got it going... but i remember two big hands were I had AK and I raise get 1 caller and 1 all in. Caller checks in the dark and I shoved in the dark, flop came QJx and he folded, i won a good pot.  After that I got 99 vs 87 and K7 and took out two more guys... got up to about 8k ... played nice tight shove or fold poker for about an hour... still never really getting a hand... got 99 twice in a row to steal some blinds... We got 3 handed... I bust out with Q9 vs A9 just like the Red Rock tourney.  Weird.  I guess now that I think about it.. being down to 400 chips and finishing 3rd is a pretty good feat... although I want "W's" and not Moral Victories.  Would've been nice to chop heads up for $150 each and getting all my money back but it wasn't meant to be.
