Ouch, that's tough.

I couldn't have seen any sign that he had a pocket pair, let alone 7s until that 7 came down. Tough break. Sorry.

Hey, I took your advice and took my last $12 out of the ring games and into tournaments, $5 + $1. I know the rake is horrific on these, but I'd rather play 2 tournaments than 1

I have only played 1 of them. I was in the chip lead for a while, but ended up 4th (Just out of the money, DANG!) I lost most of my stack when I went all in on a tripped pocket pair. he called with an outside straight draw and got it.

I lost the rest with top pair, good kicker to top pair better kicker. (I knew he only had 1 pair, I though I had him out kicked and was trying to get him to fold.)

But I was happy with my performance. I have 1 last tournament before I am out of money. Thanks for the advice. I'll try and turn it around.
