Gutted - need to vent, sorry!

[Claw75]

Just got back from playing the 2nd event in the Women's poker tour at the Western.  There were 105 runners and the tournament started well for me, with me being CL or whereabouts for most of the tourment.  There's a nice prizepool of £11,500 to be shared among the final 10, who also get extra points towards qualifying for the grand final.

12 left, blinds 2000/4000 and I have on the button.  Cut off is well chipped up and raises an extra 7k.  I bite the bullet and go over the top, all in for 27k.  BB is shorter than me with 22k and calls.  Cut off calls the extra 16k.  I'm feeling fairly pleased when BB and cut off turn over  and  respectively, until the flop comes  .   Turn to seal it, river just to rub it in, and I'm the official bubble girl.

As well as the potential prize money on the final table, I'm also on a limited sponsorship deal for the first three events of the tour with agreement that it would continue for the rest of the tour if I cashed in one of the first three, so that's several hundred more quid lost on that one hand.  I'm gutted.

A tiny bit of good news though in that the sponsors of the event have given me a free seat for one of the other competitions, but it's little consolation at the moment.

Thanks for letting me rant!

Seriously though, gutted for you Claw nothing worse than a bad beat that actually means a whole lot more than just a cash.

calling raise and reraise on the bubble with K6 and 89?

How much is the first prize in these events and how many events on the tour?

We all know that feeling Claire when you get busted so close to a big prize and it's worse when you are way ahead when the money goes in, as you were. Dust yourself off as the song goes and start all over again. (Obviously after finding an empty room, having a good scream and thumping the walls!).

Roll on event thrree.... look forward to hearing you take that one down.

thats what happens when you let women play poker against each other. Both the k6 and 89 were probably their favourite/lucky hands or they felt like gambling etc. Disgraceful that these women only events take place and it is just emphasising the fact that women arent as good players as men so need their own events to give them a chance
