Just go tell the bloke driving the ship not to turn any corners..seems easy enough to me

So, the comp begins. A very subdued Devilfish is on the table next to me, most unusually quiet.

I am sitting out for a few orbits, but on hand 2, I pick up  .

4 limpers at 25-50, & I decide to kill this .

I make it 400 to go, an overbet, but it will settle me down to take this.

They all pass, good as gold, until it gets to Mad Marty, who promptly moves ALL-IN!

Well! I had resolved to play him strong, so lets firstly think what hand he has. Gotta be AK, I know Marty's game, not too much subtlety to it.

So it's a call then.

I give it a lengthy dwell, say a little prayer, and PASS. Brave boy, me.......

Pah!

He shows the inevitable AK, the entire room collapsed in laughter, "Mad Marty all-in second hand"...... "See tikay, don't mess with me, I'm dangerous"..... Yup Marty, you sure are......

Should I have passed, if I put him on AK? Of course. Imo......"Better situation" awaits.

Tikay , you are doing a grand job, but the fact you are now updating, does that mean the inevitable? If not Good Luck and nice reporting whilst playing.

So that's one of my two resolutions out the door.

We are only 6 handed, 4 no-shows on my table, but Larsson is not yielding an inch, so I leave him alone. With 4 empty seats, there are always blinds to be had, & Daniel is  taking most of them.

Then I pick up  , make it 200 to go, Larsson makes it 1,000, I make it 2,500, he calls. Flop is all rags, I'm in a hole here. I check, he bets it, I pass, he shows QQ. Ayya!

So that's BOTH my promises broken. Dammit.

Now we get 2 more players, & "lowball" -  Eric Dolby? - who won it last year, is one of them. He's very "school-masterish", & is soon telling the dealer how to count the pots, he refuses to show his hand fiirst at showdown, "it's the other guy to show first".......There is a 30 second stand-off, then he reluctantly turns his losing hand over.

He is in seat 6, we are 8 handed, so we are a bit spread out, but he wants the seating positions re-aligned. "You should be exactly HERE he says to seat 5, marking an imaginery line on the felt. We all shuffle back & forth, till Eric says "that's OK, you can carry on". Thanks Eric.

We end level 2, & I've barely taken a pot, & have dribbled down to 8,500.

I see a flop with  , flop comes    , I bet the draw, a french Gent re-pops it. Strewth....... I call, check the  turn, he checks too, hmm.....
 
River is  , now I HAVE to bet to win this, & I make it 650. It's tough for him to call without a huge King, & I could have the Ten.

He dwells for maybe 3 minutes, then calls, ayya. He had K-9. Good Call.

p3Ercy - we were almost the last table to be drawn, I am not sure how many no-shows there were, but maybe too many seats were allocated. All the other tables had 10 players. But lots of players were most unwell with sea-sickness this morning, inclulding John Shipley, who looked awful. The sea was VERY rough last night.

So, I'm not doing too good, & at last the table breaks, & I think thanks goodness, maybe I can get moving now, I'm down to 6,800.

I sit down at my new table, look around, only know one guy, Kevin O'Connell.

My first hand on this table?   , lovely!
 
Blinds are 75-150, 2 liimpers, I make it 800.

Small blind smooth callls, uh-oh, game on.

I sneak a glance at Mr SB. He has maybe 25k to 30k, more tellingly, he has a LOT of small denom chips. So he's clearly been a busy boy. I put him in the lairy & loose category. Play him strong tikay, I tell myself.

This is our flop.

 

Glory be!

But what's this, he bets out, makes it 3k, a huge overbet, with bugger all to protect against? He surely cannot be drawing to the wheel or Broadway? Two pair? Surely he would check-raise me?

Jeez, decisions decisions. Well, only two - it can only be Pass, or move-in. And he's Pot committed now. I just CANNOT call here, its do or die.

Pass? I've hit my flop, I'm in need of chips, but I'm not happy.
 
I decide to push, & before my chips are in the middle, he has called. Oh dear........

I turn over my  , he shows, of COURSE, 

I am SO disappointed, especially for my backers. But with the chips I had left, I just ain't good enough to get off this hand, & that's all there is to it. He's played his AA nicely, I've walked into his trap, & that's that. Bugger.

I guess worse things happen at sea.
