Title: Some days- Post by: Thespeedman on February 24, 2005, 10:37:44 AM you just know you should have stayed in bed....... Walsall 300 freeze-out. Having sat through the super sat in the afternoon getting cards that had gaps big enough to drive through the main event started off the same. Managed to hold on for three hours with just one winning hand to find myself in BB with Kd -10d. Best hand i've seen so far.
Player to my left rises 500 and everyone folds round to me. Call the 500 to see the flop. flop 2-4-10 with 2 diamonds. Not bad- got top pair with good kicker plus diamond flush draw. Matey looks at my stack ( or lack of it) and bets 1400 to put me all-in. O h well now or never... Call his bet and turn over cards. Matey turns over K J off suit. Wow i'm massive favourite he needs a jack or Q-9 / Q- A with no diamonds Turn Q River A with ..... no diamonds .... Arrrghh!!!! Oh well alwaysthe 500 tomorrow ( at least i won a seat for that in the super sat) The speedman Title: Re: Some days- Post by: ifm on February 24, 2005, 10:57:24 AM Think that's bad?

By coincidence, I did a little news piece about Lucy's opening hand for todays front page. The front page for today has not been "loaded" yet, but I think it will be in the next hour. And the guy was even unluckier than he realises - there was a twist to the tale - read all about it when the piece gets put up shortly. And to Ian (ifm) & "Speedman", please say "hi" if you see me tonight, I dont think I know either of you, not by name anyway, & it would be nice to put faces to the names. You will recognize me - I am the old man acting like a teenager. Take care, & I hope the run of the cards improves for both of you as the week progresses at Walsall. Later. |
