Weekend Poker
After the horse had lost I arrived at DTD about 10mins into the comp and waited in line to enter to find out I was 25th reserve as there were not enough dealers and eventually got in just as level 2 was starting and was kind of regretting not looking around to see who was in line as this was going to be my starting table. As tables go it wa pretty solid with Jamie Dale, Buzz Harvey and another of their cronies along with Lee Taylor, the fella who looks like Lee Mack another solid player I know and 2 randoms but I had good pos on Jamie and Buzz so it could have been worse.
I chipped up solidly in the first 2 levels we played before the break and was at 39k with a decent image but in the next 3 levels I tilted for the first time that I can remember and it was not down to the poker. I had already had the losing horse bet and normally this does not bother me in the slightest and with a footie bet running found myself watching the scores and not concentrating 100% on the poker which is crazy as that's what I am there for and obv I cannot change what is going on with the footie and should just check the scores on the break (this is a leak for me that I shall defo sort out) and although I did not decimate or butcher any hands I felt that as full time happened and I was 1 goal off a £1600 win I was a bit pissed off.
So having had a quiet few levels and down to 31k at 200/400/25 the co who was a random and imo the worst player on the table opens to 1600 which he does every time its folded to his co (he has recently lost a pot when he called an 4b jam having been the or for 60% of his stack with A10o) and the btn who knows what he is doing 3b's to 3500 and not having been mega active decide to 4b from the sb with
to 8200 hoping to pick up the pot there alas after a dwell and the orignal raiser fold he makes it 18k and with no manoeuvrability left dwell fold and am under starting stack for the first time today.
After picking up a couple of small pots comes my exit hand with the blinds now up at 300/600/50 I raise to 1600 from 24600 with
and a new player who I have been tustling with flats in mp, it folds to the random in the sb who Jams for 12600 and the chap from the KJhh hand 4b's to 30k effectively setting me or the flatter all in.
I called and am still not sure if it is the correct call so gonna post in PHA to see who calls and I get Ko'd and depart back to the hotel to watch the NFL...
