This HistoryThis hand is from the Irish Poker Championships in Galway Day 2 4 Tables left, just moved to the feature Table We have been on the feature table an Hour and ive got nothing absolutely nothing. I spent the 1st half an
hour trying not to faint, between the heat and the nerves, it was touch and go.
I have a tighty mctight image because ive have been dealt absolutely nothing.
to be honost it has been a Michael McCool V Jude Ainsworth show.
They have been swapping some banter between themselve talking up about the fact that there is going to be a big clash soon, in a big hand..,
I have stolen blinds twice to stay alive and re-raised Jude Ainsworth Mp raise from 8K to 20K with pocket 10's and took down the pot...
.I am sandwiched between Michael McCool and Ciarain O'Leary and I would say they hardly even notice im there....So to the hand of interest.
Im in the BB with 75K
Michael McCool SB with 90K
Jude Ainsworth raises to 13K in lp (blinds are 2K 4K)
and Michael McCool goes all in for about 90K.....
He has done this twice before on Jude and Jude has folded.....
I look down at
, and go into the tank.........
Before ive done anything or said anything Jude Ainsworth says
"Remember that hand we've been talking about Michael, the big clashing hand, well this could very well be the hand,"
Im not being picky here, but if I had AK here never mind AJ I would nearly fold, especially after the chit chat.
Anyway I say
"Hang on a second im still in the pot", Jude apologies,
and Michael McCool pipes in with "Give Smurph a chance, she might have a hand and smiles" which raises more alarms...I eventually fold but was a bit annoyed at it.....I
t goes back to Jude Ainsworth and he does an Instant Fold!!!
Michael McCool says to me "Did you have a good hand" and Ace?
I replied I had a good hand.
he says "I had A10, did you have that beat"?
I said "Don't be ridicilous I would have called with AJ or Better???.
Now im no fool and Michael could have had anything there, but it was like he almost knew what I had......
so my question here is, could anyone see a push here, or is it an instafold??
