Playing in the Sunday deep stack at the Crazy Moose, the blinds were 1,000-2,000 and I was having the worst run of bad luck ever. I only had 1,500 chips left. I looked at an ace and just tossed my chips in the middle. I got three callers (not good) but after the flop (queen high) one of the callers pushed all-in and the other 2 folded. As it turned out, this was the stupiest play of the day. He had NOTHING except needing a gutshot 10 to fill his straight and my ace high held up keeping me in the tournament and infuriating the other 2 guys who were in the hand, both of whom would have knocked me out. They gave him some verbal abuse for a while and I thanked him profusely.
Two hands later my 6,000 chips and I were at the final table. I doubled up again with A-2 of spades against 8-5 off suit (he "had to call" with his bigger chip stack). I went on to take 2nd in the tournament ($420). I may have won if I hadn't hit 2 pair on the river on the last hand because I may not have called my opponent's all-in with just middle pair. He ended up hitting his straight on the turn.
Anyway, I appreciate this guy's bad play. He didn't cash. The poker gods were smiling on me.
