The cashout curse got me today at Stars.
4-handed in a SNG two guys including the shortest stack in the hand, big stack as AsKs with a flop of Ad 9s 7s he moves in, short stack calls with 8d Jc, WTF is that about? He has exactly 3 outs the way I see it, only a ten saves him and it better not be the 10s or the big stack busts him with a flush. Obviously he catches a 10 for a straight to stay alive. VERY NEXT HAND I get AA with a flop of A 6 9 all hearts and I do not own a heart, he is first to act and pushes in, he has me covered, but after seeing him lay terrible hand after hand I can't just assume he has the flush so I have to call (you can argue this all you want, I'm not laying down a set of Aces heads up with anyone), what does he have you ask 7d9h! Again, WTF?? Of course he catches a heart on the river to make a 4 on the board flush and bust me out on the bubble.
cash out curse I tell you.
Been dabbling in PLO8 recently so I decide to play a smaller SNG in that since there was 8 registered and I didn't have to wait, about 10 hands or so into the game I have K23J with the KJ suited in the samll bling with no raise and I limp in and get a good flop of A48 giving me the nut low and it gets bet and raised quite a bit at which point I am sure I am getting quartered in the deal, but can't fold it. Turn is a J giving me more false hope and I am forced all-in at this point so you can guess what is coming next, or at least I could, river is a 3 counterfitting my low, I still have A2348 for the low but OBVIOUSLY I must have cashed out today because someone had 2-5 to make a wheel.
Coincidence, probably, but I love a good conspiracy theory so:
CASH OUT CURSE I TELL YOU!
