Out of 1500

Busted late in the second level of the 1500 at Caesar's. These small tournaments are so silly and frustrating. I was hanging around the starting stack (3000) with 2950 when the bust hand came up. It was folded to me in the SB and I found ThTs and raised to 150 at 25/50. The BB, a "your not gonna push me around" type player, called. The flop came 9h 8h 4d. I bet 300 and he called. The turn was an offsuit King, which is actually a pretty good card for me. I put the guy on a JT, 87, or 97 type of hand on the flop. He can never have a King here, right? I was ready to get it all-in, and the best way to do this was checkraising. I checked and he bet 600. I quickly moved in for 1900 more into the 2100 pot and he fell out of his chair calling with K8o :( Standard. That's how the shallow tournaments go. Be right in that one pot or be on the rail. The sad thing is just about any card other than a K or 8 can come off on the turn and this guy is gonna get his money in with the worst of it on the turn. Oh well. When I get home I'm going to bring a bunch of money out here so I can play 25/50 and stuff at Bellagio. I have no earning power right now in shallow tournaments and online NLHE cash games are next to unbeatable right now. I'm going to the gym now and hopefully abuse alcohol tonight and watch some NBA playoffs. SS
