Heaven and hell

Just came back from a satellite poker tournament.

I finished in the worst position I ever have; but probably had the best hands I've ever had.
It was like playing a self playing piano; I got cards that I either couldn't call with at all; or I got AKs, KK, QQ - which in a rebuy tournament is pretty much all in hands preflop.

So, after about 4 hours, 20-something people left and I had 8000 in chips; chip leader on our table.
I'm on the button and a loose player goes all in with 4000 infront of me. I knew he probably had AX; so I moved all in with my jacks to make a statement to the remaining people to get out of the way.
The person after me said "that makes it easy for me" and folded.

What I missed was that someone had limped in UTG; I thought he was in the big blind. Turns out he had limped with KK and of course called.

First guy shows A4o, just as I suspected.

Problem was the guy next to me had folded ... JJ
Anyhow, the worst hand wins; he got trip fours on the river and beat us both.
Now I had only 2000 chips left; and look down on AKs (!!!)

I of course go all in and the guy with the kings (now really in the big blind) calls with AQo.

Long story short, queen hits on the flop and I'm out. From chip leader of the table to busted in less than 3 minutes.

Heaven and hell.

As a huge hub, Los Angeles International (LAX) will have relatively reasonable fares - often the cheapest - but some of the best deals we've seen recently are in-and-out of Long Beach (LGB) which is just south of LAX and a focus city for discounter JetBlue. In the same spirit, "tanks" (expensive) were ordered as "combat cars", (cheap), which allowed a bare minimum of research, development and training to take place in the 1920's and 30's.
