FTP WSOP 1k Qualifier satellites and cash games

i've been trying to get into Full Tilt's 1k Qualifier for the WSOP the last few weeks through their $69+6 and $100+9 satellites without much luck. i've probably dumped about $300 in satellites to 1k Qualifier so far.

so, i fired up a couple of cash tables to recover my satellite losses. it took me about an hour running two 2/4 tables to win over $300. i lost one big pot with AQ vs AK to a shorty who only had about $200 at the table. then, i won two big pots with 7c8c on a flopped straight/flush draw board and pocket QQ against AK on an AQT flop. it all went in on the flop in both hands.

here's the 7c8c hand. this guy had no business calling my all in on this flop. all he had was overs. no pair and no draw.

SB folds

*** FLOP *** [9c 6s 3c] (huge flop for my hand)
BB bets $26 (this is a weakish c-bet and smells like AK to me)
UTG calls $26 (cold calls another bet)
smokkee raises to $153 (neither one of these clowns hit this flop. there's no way i'm getting away from this hand.)

BB calls $122.75, and is all in
UTG folds
smokkee shows [8c 7c]
BB shows [Qs As] (i put him all in and he donkey calls off all his chips with just overs)
Uncalled bet of $4.25 returned to smokkee

*** TURN *** [9c 6s 3c] [8h] (BOOOOM!)
*** RIVER *** [9c 6s 3c 8h] [9d]

smokkee shows two pair, Nines and Eights
BB shows a pair of Nines (BUSTOOOO!)

smokkee wins the pot ($369.50) with two pair, Nines and Eights
BB is sitting out

on my other table, there was some chick who was overplaying sooted paint. she called an all-in preflop with Ks8s and caught a King on the river to stack some shorty. later she got all in with Q-2sOOted on a Q-high flop and no flush draw. unfortunately, i wasn't able to get involved with any good hands against her. some other guy to her right got to be the benefactor of her stack.

for those of you who are cardrunner subscribers, there's a new video of Brystmar running over two 6-max tables (50NL & 100NL). he's raising or reraising almost every hand with rags and tilting other players into pushing all in with air. he finishes the session up almost 2 buy-in's on the 50NL table and 1 buy-in on the 100NL table after less than an hour of this.

it's pretty hilarious.
