| Started the week with a blast 1. On Monday I won
a $30 buy in tournament which I dominated from the outset.
2. Tuesday I came second in a another $30 game. At 4 handed, I got a
really bad beat with a maniac calling down a straight. That knocked me down
to under 200 chips and I quickly slid down to under 1000. I hung on for
second though.
3. On Wednesday I decided to have a go at Pokerstars. I`m still trying to
figure out why. I don`t like to look of the table, you can`t see who is in
the hands and the tables are filled with stark raving mad lunatics who talk
trash all the time. I didn`t like the look of it right from the word
go and should never even have deposited money.
4. I played me regular $20 cash game with re buys on Thursday night. I
have never had such a bad run of cards (why do I have hunch that this is not
the last time I`ll be saying this?). I stole a couple of big pots and won a
nice pot with a set of 6`s. However I tried to loosen up and raised with
marginal hands. Also limped in too much.
5. Played a $30 buy in Sit & Go today and cruised to the chip lead. Even
though I distinctly remember telling myself out loud that I`m going to sit
out, limping in with crap got me in trouble. I flopped a straight and put in
a pot size bet. Got called. Figured the guy to be on a set, but the turn
didn`t look like it helped him and I bet the pot again. He called again! The
river produced a scary card which I figured could have given him a higher
straight. I checked and he bet. I knew I was beat when I called. My new
rule: No limping when I am in a strong position later on in a tournament.
Next hand I got KJ in the big blind and went all in when I paired a J. I was
knocked out by two pair on the River. Stupid, stupid, stupid poker. |
