Welldone George! Hopefully me and Chris will be joining you for day 2!

[George2Loose]

Right. In the tank with Bedi. I think I played this hand like a retard and I'm sure you'll agree.

I'm 3rd to act and have a stack of 21k. We're playing 9 handed and I look down at  . I open to 700 at 150/300- I think this was my first mistake- the table was so tough I should have just mucked.

Mid position who is crazy aggro and guy who 3 bet against me early (who has also rebuilt his stack) peels, small blind peels.

Board comes down 

Sb checks- I bet 1500. Mid position peels. Small blind now makes it 3800. I call- again this is a bad call- he's never checking the turn and with my stack I'm just asking for trouble. MP folds (he says later he had queens which I don't believe cos he was 3 betting for fun)

Turn is the  . So now I have middle pair with the nut flush draw. SB bets 5.5k. I call.

River is  . He now bets 12k. I have 12.5 left. His hand feels like a set/98 on the flop. The boiard is so dry I'm wondering whether he would raise the flop or try and get some value on later streets. J10 keeps running thru my mind and I tank so hard- longest I have ever taken over a decision in poker and eventually decide that with 40 bigs I can grind it back. I am still not sure whether it was the right muck. Later he tells me he had a set of ..... hmmmmmmmmmmm

[Claw75]

I probably play it the same as you down all the streets George.  Any other comp, I think I call the river, but in the wsop ME I probably do the same as you - sigh fold like a girl and grind.

edit: just re-read the hand again - hadn't picked up that the sb had checked raised the flop. probably fold at that point, but otherwise the same.

[BulldozerD]

i'm not liking the flop raise by SB after a c/bet and a caller in between, looks really strong to me and looks like its begging for value on a dry board. Probably fold flop due to guy still behind me and bad relative position on future streets

[Karabiner]

That just sounds like one of those hands where the little voice in your head is telling you that you shouldn't be doing this every step of the way but you just kinda get hooked in.

I can now understand how hard it was to talk yourself out of going all the way with it.

[AndrewT]

SB's c/r looks like it wants a caller. So does his turn bet - he def has a set here.

[Whollyflush]

Ha your dad is a legend!

Oh my, he must have the daddy of all chuckles. Would pay to go to a comedy night with George, brother and dad. Immense.

Btw who is JP? Assuming it's not JP Kelly.

helloooo

Took Woodsey's advice and played some dice yesterday and if I go broke I blame him. It's a pretty saddictive game and I can see why poker degens are attracted to it. My first roll was obv the roll of my life. I didn't crap out for 40 mins and there must have been 3k on the layout on a 5$ min table. I made around 500$ and some guy walked away with 3.5 after starting with 200.

Going to see a show at the bellagio tonight and madam tussauds this afternoon

fyl 40 min roll and you walk out 500 up, should be a couple of zeros on that!

[George2Loose]

Yeh I didnt press till the end- didnt really know hwat I was doing. My bet behgind the pass line was even. It was a 5$ min table.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Dont feel low buddy. I know that missing family is super tough, but remember that they all want you to be there enjoying this life experience!

You also have an entire forum behind you wishing you well, loving it everytime you update this thread.

Definately time to take a day off the gambling/poker. I really recommend a half day trip to the grand canyon by helicpoter. You have alll been binking, just splash out - i think its about $350 each from memory. I went with Sundance and they were pretty good!

For food pleasures - i recommend the Earl of Sanwich @ planet hollywod for a quick bite.

Go to the top of the eiffel tower at night and watch the bellagio fountains

hope the blues clear soon dude

Enjoy
