I did rather poorly all around actually.
My $5 Lotto parley (I thought it was $4, so maybe a mild win there 🙂 was a bust.
I finished 2nd in a SnG, but busted out early in two others.
I played in a live “Tournament of Champions” deal and made a pretty sick bluff early that got called with a hugely suspect hand. Details as I recall: 7-top table, money has been moving. I raised from the button with AQo. SB called along with one or two others. Flop is all unders, 4-6-10, two diamonds. Checked around to me. I made about a 1/2 pot sized bet. Only the SB called. Another blank, non-diamond. I fire again- about 1/2 sized. Ponder. Call. Non-diamond J on the river. Check. I push. I have probably 1/2 of the pot left in chips. He goes in the tank. For at least two minutes. I know he has at least a piece of it- A-10 maybe? I’m not sure. But I am sure I don’t want a call. Well. He called. Ballsey call but the right one. This is the kicker though, he had pocket 3s. Yep. An under pair. Wow. I didn’t see that coming. I’m not sure how the event went, I have not seen the results yet. But damn.
My biggest gripe of the night? I flopped a flush with an 8 high in my hand. I bet at the pot, but not enough to take it down. Another club on the turn. Crap. Meanwhile, another player at the table was out of a hand and started digging though the muck. What the hell? I had a straight flush draw so I called a small bet. Blank on the river. Dickfer is still digging though the muck. I called him out on it. What? What did I do? “Don’t dig in the fucking muck.” As I mucked my crappy flush. Tool.
Someone at the bar asked if I know a bookie. No, but I have a Bodog account. $50 on NYG -3 and $50 on CIN+3. He gave me cash. Both were busts. I had just over $10 left my buddy put a parley with the over (44) on the NYG/CAR game and CIN+3. Yeah. Missed both of those. I now have $0.55 in that account. Ooops 🙂
That is enough rant for a Monday. I’ll move on now.
hey there steve…..my high club was a 4…..according to you..i folded a high club…its over, i understand ur complaint but try and be alittle more calm next time u encounter a problem like this.tool
To be honest- I was harsh and venting. When I saw Mookie link to this I figured it might be prudent to edit, but it is what I was thinking so I left it in.
One of my biggest pet peeves in live poker is muck-digging, it really does change the dynamic of the hand for the rest of the players.
BTW: Congrats on your victory last week.
