Ok. It should be a prohibition to allow a poker player to call a raise all in with second pair, top kicker at 4 a.m. The website should automatically disconnect them. I was so tired and weary, but I felt that th play I made was was well executed. Anyhow, I finished 14/1460. I had a gut shot and second pair, and I knew the guy was weak. However, not weak enough to fold AJ to a raise all in on a board on q j 8. I had J10 and he CALLED all of his chips. I am not upset, I played really well and earned $300 profit for my $70 invvestment. That tournament is a cash cow, I love the 10$ r on Stars.
I also played the 10:00 r on UB, $30. I was in for 180$ which is the most I have ever been in for in that tourney. In any case, I lost a race at the end, 99 v. AQ, and I was out. But I played really well and of course bubbled, 27/150. I was not upset at all at the result.
I also earned a TEC yesterday- finished 2/10 in a $50 sng, first got 3 tecs and $30 and second got 1 tec and $10. The player I was heads up with was not very good at all, but he cracked my AA and that was the end of the sng.
Finally, I earned $250 in cash yesterday, 45 minute session. I flopped the nuts and had two people pushing all in on me. So sick that I still had the nuts on the river. How often does that happen?
On another note, I was speaking to Hugeheatfan, a player whom I play with often online, and I realized that there are reasons why my game has improved so much lately. There are things, secrets, that I know and no one else does. My little, newfounded pearls of wisdom, will be held close to the cuff and guarded very carefully. These are the strategies, the ideas, the tells that are not in books, not publicized, not spoken of. I am happy to be part of the society with such valuable and clandestine information =)
My favorite situation, and the one that makes me feel like the best player in the entire room is when I decide that a player has whatever he has, like AQ. Then I outplay him with nothing. And then I tell him what he had, and he is very surprised. This scenario occurred at the Club earlier in the week. This guy raised utg three times the blind and it was so obvious he had high cards after the flop. Four way pot, flop comes out 8 9 x. It checks to him and he bets 600, which is 2x the bb and an obvious scaredy bet. If he hit his hand or had an overpair, he would've bet the pot, which was 2400. It folded to me, I had 2 4 suited. I raised to 2000 and he insta folded. He was so freaked out when I said, "you had AQ right?" And his response was, "No, I had AK." Oh ok, my mistake, lol.
Also readers, if my blog ever becomes a conceited mesh of meandering, please drop me a line and tell me. Right now, I am teetering on the border of confidence and arrogance and I do not want to become the stereotypical big headed jerky player that I cannot stand.
I also resolve to stop trash talking as much as possible at the online tables. While is definitely an outlet for my frustration, I would never act that way in person. Additionally, I have aspirations being very successful at poker, and I would like to illustrate class and integrity in my game /personality, not baseless and tacky behavior.
Lastly, I am so fed up with work. It is super difficult to come to work for a very irritable and moody boss, and do boiler plate bs, when I would be so much happier and satisfied playing poker full time. Every time he yells, or gives me an attitude, its like he is adding fuel to my poker fire.
Thats all for now. Enjoy your day!
Good luck and peace,
Lucky C.
