Another OK Cash But Just Short

$109 Headhunter finishing 3rd/178 for $1578 , really not sure what to make of that one. Nasty place to finish especially when i had over 50% chips 3 handed at one point before AK ran into KK preflop , sick i had the loosest image ever and it was as unfoldable as would ever be despite the obvious reraise preflop from the tight guy !

Had luck both ways in this to extremes. Started out with worst hands possible for over an hour i think i saw 1 or maybe 2 flops and thats ridiculous for someone like me ! Blinded right out then hit AA vs A10,,,, KQstd vs AJ,,,, JJ vs AK for my first head and then never looked back. Next sick luck turn camewhen 11 left though , having just continue bet and bet the turn in an sb vs bb battle with 10,7 off on an A,9,2,x board and won it i raised the button with 10s next hand and the bb guy (now in the sb) moves in (likely tilt as i aint foldin in a headhuneter ne2 here) with A3off and spikes an ace. That would have put me 1st/10 on monster stack and it probably affected my final table decisions when i doubled up a guy with 99 on a J10x flop thinking he had AQ or AK but he had KK. I then got some reverse luck and doubled through again. Once we got 5 or 6 handed it upped a gear as it was fairly deepstacked but i couldnt seem to get the perfect spots and relied on some well timed bluffs until i finally caught a hand or 2. That was it really until the AK hand above which i will say sickened me again, its not so bad if u have been playing tight and waiting for a hand but to see that after the agression i had shown was very disheartening. Unfortunately also 3 handed the rock guy gave chips for free to the short stack and that prevented me from guaranteeing 2nd place. Got $1000 for 3rd but $2k and $3k + heads obviously for other positions is very gutting to say the least.

Anyway its more cash its another result of sorts and my luck was probably level overall in the end in it given the wild extremes either way so i will b ok bout it i think. Better get bed gotta be up in 4hrs for golf......hard life aint it.
