So I busted last night with 10s v. JJs. But I thought the play I made was fabulous and should have taken down a huge pot. I had 10h 10s utg. I raised to 2000, blinds were 400-800. In a regular tourney, I just call, but the players at the club are so weak that I am comfortable with a raise here. The small blind, who is an O.K. player, reraises to 5000. I was goin to muck- I swear I put him on JJ. I had 16k in my stack. I decided to call and if ace, king or good flop came i could raise all in. So I call. Flop comes down 9 3 6 all hearts. I have the 10h. He bets 3500, which is obviously a scaredy bet into an 11000 chip pot. It was either muck or push all in. I decided to push because if he doesnt have the Jh, he has to fold. Even if he has the Jh, he has to think he is behind. So I pushed. He thought about if forever and ultimately called. I am still O.K. with my play. I think it was the right play. I am happy with how I played. So I busted like 17th out of 40 that played, which is not bad. The tournaments at the club are such a crapshoot anyway. I played perfectly the whole time.
Yesterday, after discussing my work situation with my boss/friend, she gave me the option to work part- time this summer. I think I may do that. It wouldl be great to only work 3 days. I would love to do that. It is a huge difference in salary, but if I can make it up with poker, it would be ok. I am leaning towards it right now. It is also a great seguay into playing full time, so we will see.
I am excited about this summer.
More later.
Good money and peace,
Lucky C.
