Ok. I know I still have to post about the rest of the Europe trip. Short version, it was awesome, but I'll post more later. Anyway, about me being f-ing stoopid. It's poker related.
Final tabled the Full Tilt tourney today. 1300+ players, we're down to the final 8 and I've got about $600K with blinds at 10/20K. I get dealt 6s6h, middle position player raises and I flat from the button. That's pretty bad for starters but I had a lot of chips so I was willing to see a flop and he was pretty bad so I thought I could float him if the flop came with anything to scary. Flop is Q74 and the original raiser leads for $120K. I tank for awhile and ship it. He calls and shows KK. I suck. Out three hands later.
The play itself sucks and is enough for me to say definitively that I am a moron. What made it extra super stoopid was that the table, save for one other player who was great, was incredibly soft. All I had to do was bide my time and they would have handed me their chips. But like I said, I'm not so bright.
Happy to final table, but very disappointed with the finish. It takes a lot of effort and luck to sort through that size field and I just can't fathom why I made that move. Live and learn.
