After a good recent run, I played like an absolute donkey tonight.
10k to begin, I soon had 11k, after 2 hands I think, then I got all silly. Holding
I limped, then called a pre-flop R from Big Bob, the Landliord, who plays Gala Notts. Flop is
.
Check check. I suspect my 8 is good.
Turn......
Hmm, it MUST be good now. Bob bets, I call.
River is a blank, then the betting gets all silly. I check, deciding that if I give Bob enough rope he'll hang himself. He bets 1k, I make it 1k with 1.5k, representing a huge hand. He bests another 5k. I move in. He calls & turns over
for the nut boat. I've given him enough rope to hang me & I duly obliged. What a donkey! Down to 700.
I have to gamble now, & I steal up to 2k very quickly, including two all-ins on flush draws. . I have Ali Mallu to my immediate right - ideal double up material. I limp in early position with
, looking for a check raise, I NEED a confrontation. Ali Mallu obliges. What DO you put Ali on when he raises? Could be ANYTHING! Well, JJ down will do me, I RR all-in, Ali calls, & turns over the dominating Asp
Board comes
Oops, sorry Ali.......
I gradually build up to 5k, with blinds at 100-200 that's plenty,. but I'm still in gamble mode.
Holding Asp
in the BB, we have THIS on the turn......
. Very nice. I decide to let one of the 5 limpers bet it for me. They all check. Damn. River is, unbelievably,
. Damn damn damn. 6 way split pot.....!
QQ is next, UTG, I am STILL in gamble mode, I want to get back to average. Table is aggressive, there is BOUND to be a R behind me. 2 limpers, including Button who is getting equally cute with
.
Flop is Asp Ah
. Turn is
. Cut a long story short, BB has
, he had the fully on the flop, quads on the turn, & I still thought my QQ was good.
Ayya!
