Edit: Mistitled, this was Event 9.
Been too busy for the kinda weak events of the last few days. Looking forward to this week’s lineup though, starting with the $1K tomorrow night. I was rocking it pretty good tonight, winning some flips, stacked bigegypt in a big pot:

With the original raiser betting so weak, I figured egypt was more likely than usual to be on some sort of bluff or semi-bluff. Sucks to give him a free heart, but my hand also looks a lot like a draw such that if the turn is a blank I can often stack him. Also I was hoping maybe someone else would shove over the top, though that’s not that likely.
I was up and down, lost like 25% of my stack when KQ <> 88 to bust Nath, then this:

I was pretty sure he was going to show me QT, but it’s not like I’m crushing that, and if he has AJ or a set I’m smoked, bad shape against KK+, seems unlikely he’s on a pure bluff, but if we can put some worse middle pairs in his range that helps a lot. I dunno, sucked to lose it though.
