Took a heartbreaking bad beat today, played a 1,000 guranteed MTT with a 5 dollar buy in, 12 players left 10th to finish in the money. Dealt AA, ranked 9th at the time, i get two calls with an AK and 89 both hands off suit. Opportunity to be 2nd in chips. the 89 picks up the straight on the river. I was devastated i was on the brink of bringing home my biggest payout yet. I even managed the whole tourrney without having to rebuy or add on. I know its part of the game and will happen more often than not, that one was hard to swallow. i was on a roll, played smart and picked my battles. I had to push, it was the only time in the whole tourney i got AA. Maybe i should have slow played it but, i doubt i would have been able to, alot of players were pushing to make that final table. im gonna try to bounce back 2 nite, for the day though i played in 2 MTT's finishing in a respectable 11th and 13th.
