Poker gods lightnings

After a great month of October, my expectations were somewhat high for November, EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH (Buzz sound and not the one on those TV game shows where it signals the jackpot for the challenger) I got hit by numerous and continuous strikes of swings and still to this day, here's a lil something something to prove it from my last hand of the last mtt I played today:

MP2: 10,640
CO: 10,265
Hero (BTN): 10,331
SB: 5,651
BB: 5,360
UTG: 9,023
UTG+1: 9,073
UTG+2: 11,685
MP1: 21,968

Pre-Flop: (675) 8 8 dealt to Hero (BTN)
3 folds, MP1 calls 300, MP2 folds, CO raises to 770, Hero calls 770, 2 folds, MP1 calls 470

Flop: (2,985) 5 7 8 (3 Players)
MP1 bets 895, CO raises to 3,000, Hero raises to 9,536 and is All-In, MP1 folds, CO calls 6,470 and is All-In

Turn: (22,820) T (2 Players - 1 is All-In)


River: (22,820) K (2 Players - 1 is All-In)


Results: 22,820 Pot
CO showed T T and WON 22,820 (+12,580 NET)
Hero showed 8 8 and LOST (-10,240 NET)

As you can tell, put my chips in ahead and boom! but oh well that's poker, you gotta be able to float with its waves, good and bad runs, sorta like how life is, don't you think? The funny thing is that after he turned his hands and I saw 10s, I almost predicted a 10 on the turn and there it was...

Although I had some deep runs in some Mtts such as 5th and 2nd in the $2.20 180 man,  a 3rd finish in the $12 45 man, and a 1st place finish in the $5.50 45 man, It still didn't improve my BR or the way my poker month was going....

Going deep in big field Mtts and getting knocked out by bad luck continuously can be very frustrating at times but I'm very grateful to be surrounded by my girlfriend and a family that shows a ton of love and support for what I do and I'll never let them down so here's some of my November's Mtts deep runs and until the next post, may the gods of poker be kind to you and myself as well :)

$4.40 - 1159 - 135th
$3.30 - 5947 - 835th
$2.20 - 2678 - 90th
