i had built a little bit of a chip lead up and got pocket JJ with 8 players remaining.
of course i raised, as i do most of the time. someone a couple of spots behind me reraises. i considered what they had - AK, AQ, AA, KK, QQ, TT. I'm ahead of half and behind half. i could lay down - but no, ive forgotten my lessons about pocket jj and need to relive the torture again. of course i call and they have pocket AA and it holds up. im not out, but my stack is down to 220 chips. time to buckle down and pick my spots to see how far i can go...
buckle down i did, when the game was over, i had 13,500 chips and found a way to come back and win the game.
of course it only lasted for a minute... then i made a donkey call early in the next game. limped with pocket 44 on the button with several others. flop comes out 9 high with two clubs and the pot is 180. the blinds check and the person in first bets 40 chips. i have no idea what he is betting, but it could be A high at this point or he could have caught a pair. i call the 40 chips and everyone else folds. turn is 6h and the river is a 4c. he checks to me and i put out a value bet and he raises me all in. of course i called and of course he had the flush and of course i saw it but didn't believe him.
the funniest thing about this is i was just talking to a friend at dinner about the over bet and watching people fall for it. the thing is if i hadn't tripped up, i think i could have gotten away from my hand -it was that i caught it and then didn't get away from it. now i need to learn to get away from it even when i get the trips.
sigh.
then i cashed in the next game at second.
up and down. if i would lay a damn hand down - then maybe it would be up and up...
lets hope.
talk to you soon.
peace and love and happiness
