Joe Grech calls my all-in thinkin I'm weak. My 77 is called by his KJos and he rivers the K doubling his satck and making me shortstack. A few hands later Grech makes up the bb and I check holding 10 8 the flop comes 2 4 10 he checks, I all-in he calls with A4 and I'm looking good to be back in contention, but 'RiverAsUsual' comes an ace.
I'm out 4th for £23k.
John/Derek,
There's a tale behind that Call with K-J.....
You had shoved quite a lot with small/medium pairs, got them all through, & then SHOWN THE HANDS.
Which, Joe told me, is why he made that Call with K-J.
The A-4 was a bit of a purler, to be fair!
You were unlucky, but it's all part & parcel of poker.
Personally, I'd say cashing for £23k was pretty lucky!
But well done on a great performance, & it was particularly pleasing to see how you handled yourself at Walsall, after last month's shennanigans, (not by you!).
It was a pleasure to meet you.
