Two bad plays, two bad beats, and I bounced out in 98th place.

Bad play #1: Hiltons in the big blind, 6 callers. I should have raised before the flop. Flop comes up K-x-x and I fold to a 2.75xBB bet. Winner had pocket sevens. Damn.

Bad play #2: Tens in LP, 4 players. Fold to one small bet after a pair flops with an ace. Turn is a 10. Damn.

Bad beat #1: ATo in the SB, 2 players. Flopped an ace, with a flush draw on the board. I bet 2xBB and the other guy raises 5xBB all-in. I outchip him by 5 times and call. He’s Q5s and makes his flush on the river.

Bad beat #2: With about 2xBB left in my stack, I raise all-in in LP with rockets. Two people call, including Mr. Flush from SO#1. His KJo makes a straight on the turn. And I’m out.

Good thing these are freerolls. I clearly need the practice.
