Crazy Night At Cake
My intention for tonight was to play the Rounders HORSE freeroll but things didn`t quite work out as planned. I was registered for it but for some reason the table wouldn`t load. It was probably because I already had two games going at Cake poker. Now Cake is one of those sites I`ve just never got along with, in all the K9 games we played there I managed to reach a final table just once. I always seemed to go in with the best hand only for some miracle card to pop up and send me to the rail. Well I hand $3.50 in my account and decided I`d take it to a ring to try and work it up to $5.50 so I could enter the money added buy-in, and I thought I might as well play the freeroll whilst I was there. My very first hand at the ring I had KK and doubled up to $7 in that hand. I fled the table and registered for the buy-in.
Now the forum that had organised these games had described them as crazy payouts because the payout structure was all messed around with in the freeroll, 3rd place payed more than 1st etc. Well in the buy-in my usual luck struck, UTG+1 I min raised with AA (I was pretty short-stacked and wanted at least 1 caller or ideally a re-raise so that I`d end up HU), one caller and the flop comes king high. I check and the caller fires out a bet which I come straight over the top of. He instacalls and turns over AK. Two cards to come and I`m in the region of 85% to win the hand. Of course the turn is a king and I`m off to the rail cursing my luck.
The freeroll had started much better with me tripling up early on with KK but after that hands were few and far between but I didn`t really mind because there was a prize for bubbling that was better than actually cashing. That actually made for an interesting game, trying to finish in a particular place is actually rather difficult but I actually managed to do it finishing in 31st place.
The unfortunate thing is that I found out the better prize for bubbling was actually in the buy-in, not in the freeroll. That`ll teach me to read posts more carefully LMAO. At any other time I`d be furious with myself but as I have no real intention of playing at Cake again I`d rather someone win those few cents than me. Besides which I enjoyed the challenge of aiming for the bubble.
