SO, after my not so triumphant return to the tables i couldn't wait to have another session, well next morning was my plan...... however the missus was very poorly all through the night and come morning when she asked me should she go to work or not (as much as i wanted to say go and see how you are!!) i just had to say don't go,........ don't say i don't have a heart!!!!
oh well, so next day shes all better that means poker time for me!! however she does leave for work til bout 7:55am today, which seriously cuts my poker time down to bout 30-40 mins!!
so i get on a $2 turbo 1 table sng tourny, this time i wait my time, i actually start getting some cards too which see me take out a few people and build a nice stack too
down to 6, then 5, then 4, it all goes tight before a missed timed all in from someone finds a pair of kings waiting for them!! so down to 3, i'm in the money at least!! and i have a slight chip lead, well from this point on i just bullied the table, i was raising almost every hand and they just wouldn't play back at me, however i just couldn't get it down to heads up!!
small stack goes all in with A2, i have A10, of course they hit a 2 on the turn!!
same story with the other guy, anytime he goes all in i have him beat only for him to hit his card on turn or river!!
after my stack dwindles a bit i am 2nd in chips i raise with KJ, called by leader, raggy flop he bets minimum, i push it all in........ he think and calls , turning over KQ!!!! great! so thats me out in 3rd!!! bout $3ish, small profit!!
at the same time i put $4 on a 5c/10c cash table, well didnt get much luck or cards and spunked that, so i put another $4 in.... few hands later i pick up 10jsuited i call as do a few others, flops comes a beautiful Q98, no flush draws!! i check in early position, a bet and a raise to 50c, i can't wait!! back to me and i call, turn a 8, so how do i get the most out of this..............
well with the board pairing could be up against trips, 2 pair, didn't want to let them make a full house so i bet the pot, got 1 call from the button, now as he did't reraise me i figured i was ahead and at best he had top pair with ace kicker or a draw, so on the river a blank i went all in for my remaining dollar something, he called and showed AK!! on the river with nothing but ace high and me all in he called.......... what did he think i had???? now i know i won but did i give off some odd sign that i would have gone all in with nothing???
i dont have the hand history so my recollection may be a bit off.... anyway back up to $8 i recovered my earlier loss.......few small hands won and lost later i leave to go to work with bout $7.85 for a small loss overall on the table, but overall a small profit for the day,
leaves my account at about $48

erm..............why do you think that. You are playing a made straight and the board has paired, he could have easily played the pot with a pocket pair and made a full-house. He would deffo check here, trying to build the pot and pray that you have J,10 or looking for the straight (or possible flush draw).
Getting a bit long here but when the board pairs and you are playing a made straight do not presume you are always ahead.
Thanks for the comment, i have checked out your blog and linked it, maybe you could do the same.
ok, well i see and agree with what you said, i was worried when the board paired for exactly the reason you say..... but.... we all only limped in so i figure a pair is not impossible but given it would have to be QQ,99 or 88 i think one of those hands would have raised pre flop certainly QQ! so i was thinking maybe Ace with weak kicker, maybe paired the 9 or 8? maybe high cards with a draw?
as you say had they made full-house they prob would check/flat call but i guess i just had a gut feeling that it wasn't there! now when he called my all in on the turn or river,i cant remember, i was worried
so was it my bad play or his? or both?
goodluck with the 10K challenge, will certainly keep an eye on that plus check out the archives
