I suspected a huge hand with that minraise bullshit. A guy with that stack should be putting me all-in. Not sure if I could have gotten away from it. All of my options were shit. Folding for that price would suck but so would calling and then dumping it on the flop. So I went with it. Knew he wasn't folding so it was a question of pot odds and had he just shoved all-in I'd be getting 2:1 to call off the rest of my chips. Turned out I'm a 71/29 dog against the KK so it was a slightly "bad" call, and sometimes he has AA here but other times he could have goofy shit I guess so probably the right play. Finished 27th on a rare night that they were paying 15 rather than 10.

Then tonight's freeroll where I actually decided to max late-reg this time and was card dead as shit. Got a free play in the BB and this happened:

Puke. Looking back on it, only 1 hand I'm worried about (T9) and probably should have looked him up but he raised so quickly on the river that I thought he had the nuts. A 5 here should be calling and going for overcalls (although at this level that would be giving someone too much credit). But at best I'm chopping here and I didn't like it.

Ended up getting it all-in a short while later with AQo, got called by the SB with J8♣, standard play. His cards are s00ted so it's good. Flop T99 of course, turn blank, river 7. Saw that coming. Did not win one hand and yet managed to finish 106th and outlast half the field. LOL Donkaments.
