Bad Beats and new territory

Not the musical kind, the AA losing to AT, AK, 55, etc kind.

Played in a few different events the other day.

A knock out tournament where you start with just 300 chips and blinds at 15/30. This is a push fest and you really have to catch some hands and win some races. Did quite well in this then started getting chipped down late and was close to getting bubbled. I wake up with AA late in the tourney with an M of just about 3 and ship it, no callers and I get the blinds and antes. A couple hands later I get AA in the BB and it’s folded around to me and I pick up just the SB and antes so weird and just bad luck that I don’t get any action at all. Almost every hand someone is going all in and I’ve seen almost every pair possible and hands like Q8 being thrown in.

It goes around twice more and I’m super short with the blinds coming up, I see QQ and ship it, called by a bigger stack who goes all in over the top and everyone else folds. He flips K2s and of course hits the K to bubble me.

Bubbled in 4 tourneys and no tickets, 180 man FTP tourney came in second. I really need a variance vacation, so many times I’m in good, so few times I hold up.
