Default thought today was gonna be the big day.

So, I was broke on my stars account but I had a lot of fpps so I decided to play a satellite to a cash tourney. The top 25 or so made it to a 10 tourney, after making it i found out it was a 10 plus rebuy and add-ons. I almost made a deposit when I decided to challenge myself. we started with 2000 chips and by the 1 hour break i had about 3000 with the average being between 5 and 6 and already some people in the 20,000's. I come back from break and win 3 all-ins within the first 20 minutes and am pushing about 25000. I keep playing solid because all I want to do is make the money at least. I just want to play cash games without making another deposit, so i get aces and I get it all in before the flop. I raise I get re-raised, I raise all in and get called by QQ. Guess what happened. Flop is good, turn is good, river is one of the two remaining queens, I would have been up with the chip leaders had my 95% hand held up but instead I was done. Breaks my heart. I was thrilled that whole hand and then crushed. I am glad this happened in a free tourney rather than a cash one but it still kills. Just one more story of aces getting cracked.

Sorry to hear that hun, but unfortunately those things do happen, and quite frequently online. Just hang in there...you'll be fine...just keep doing what you did to get that far, and you'll be A-OK.
