The only hand worth reporting on really is the hand that crippled me:
I've just been moved to a tough table. Mitch, Keith and PJ all there. I fold for a few hands then pick up
utg and open to 6k at 1500/3000. Folds to a big geordie (?) guy on the button who doesn't see I've raised and makes it 9k. So in his mind he's 3xing the button, but he's actually just min 3b me.
Obviously I just call.
check, he quickly checks back. Oh you have AK. Cool.
, I bet 16k into 24. He calls. Oh you haven't folded AK yet? Cool. Get there please?
. He has about 90k left I have 100ish. The pot is now 56k. Give up? Maybe.
I decided to bet huge, 65k. It didn't work. He tanked for ages and called with AK. Nice call.
It became apparent during the next half an hour that I tried to bluff the wrong guy. And usually this is not something I attempt at all. I usually need a pretty good read on someone first before I try to bluff them. But I just thought can this guy really call off most of his stack with ace high near the money of a £1k with £120k for first? I thought not, but he did. Shit happens I guess...
