Satellite Suckouts...

Bought the $1K ticket for tomorrow (no additional entry fee).

Played two satellites ($175 + $225 = $400), so I had to kick in an additional $100 into the kitty since we had a total of $1300. Two suckout stories:

The first one, I made it to heads up against an old dude who looked like my plumber. He had about 5x stack on me and offered to give me back my satellite entry fee. I whined for a bit more, but he said no, so we played it. Second hand, I go all in (K-6) and he calls (Q-4). He hits is Q on the flop. Turn gives me an outside straight draw in addition to outs with the K. Fifth street = nada.

The second one was more quick and painless, but still a suckout loss. One guy out already. I went all in with a slightly smaller stack than the eventual caller. I was ahead--he made his inside straight.

So I'll just play the $1K tomorrow without any rebuys. As Dylan would say, I'm getting my bad strokes out before the tourney...
