well im not sure if i was playing good today or not. im going to guess that i wasn't. i played 10 tourneys today and made 5 final tables and only cashed at 2nd once. i am playing aggressively, but i also was calling aggressively- on a couple of occasions i had second pair, or a pocket pair below top pair and after getting it checked to me i bet out only to be raised. based on preflop action in both instances, i didn't think the person had top pair, and the board would have been a weird holding for two pair, so i called. both times they had trips. so new lesson for me is to not forget about trips when im considering what they have. for the record though, i made a couple of calls with second pair and was right too, so the trick is knowing which is which. lets see - i played inconsistently today - but in 2/3 of the tables i was knocked out of, it was a case of getting in ahead and the person catching up to win. i guess thats good about the situation, but it got a little comical by the end of the day. it seemed like i could call for the card that would come on the turn or river to give them the win.
oh well, thats poker.
have a good 4th of july!!
peace and love and happiness to all
