Lighting An E-Ticket On Fire

Under the weather this weekend.  Really didn't feel like doing anything.  What do you do when you don't feel like moving?  Play online poker of course.

I had a 109 ticket in my Stars account courtesy of a prior WBCOOP (reminder:  WBCOOP starts TODAY) so I played the 40k guaranteed 6 max on Saturday.

I didn't play well but I played decently enough I guess.  I got a timely double late in hour 2 with KK but was still below par.  I saw a guy go out when he had KK and AA cracked on back-to-back hands (by pocket 7s and KJs), all in pre-flop.  

The next hand, I fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.  UTG limped.  I found AKs in MP and was in shove-monkey mode.  What does UTG have when UTG limps as things are getting close to the bubble?  99% of the time it's AA.  

Duh.

Maybe if I hadn't been shoving every half-decent hand for the previous 30 minutes I could have gotten away from it.

Oh well, it was just an e-ticket.
