Not my finest 2hours. 42k at break at end of 6th level and should have 80-90k
spewed in 2spots one closer than the other recovered in the middle and then ran a ridiculous bluff on the hand of the break where it cost me 30k trying to win the pot as "everyone is always ready to break" and ended up literally having to call the river on 83388 to hopefully chop but getting 6/1.
Having come back from up'north I thought I would come back to this.
The first pot was vs Paul Jackson and we opened 44 to 1100 @ 250/500/50 from MP with David Lhonore peeling the button and Paul peeling the SB and we see a flop on
and Paul donks for 1300 which we call and pretty much as soon as David had folded and the dealer goes to deal the burn card he snap throws out 2500 before the card is even turned over which kinda threw me a touch and the turn was the
. I decided to call again and reval the river and felt Pauls turn play was pretty strange and the river was the
and with approx 12k in the pot he again led for 10k.
In hindsight I dont mind calling flop and turn although turn is more questionable but should have folded the river as having the extra 10k would have made a difference in other spots later on, as I called though Paul said "You got unlucky" and flipped K2o.
Really regret the river now as a few hands later we would have stacked a guy when we held QQ against what I believe was an over pair but the whole pot would have played out differently which was followed by the "pre break hand" which again cost us some chips and was outright spew! Obv you guys know me and my transparency hence the reason for posting these hands as they cost us a bigger stack going into day2 and felt I should come back to them having mentioned them.
2nd Hand David Lhonore opens to 1100 still 250/500 UTG and Paul snap peels UTG1 and it folds to us in the CO and I 3b to 3300 from 70k with A7hh the guy to my left who had been a pain in my backside all day and forced me to laydown A8 on A8J 3 J in a massive pot where I am Btn to his SB and he bet 1/2 pot otr and I folded telling him he got lucky which he did with the runout as he had 3b pre and barrelled all 3 streets with Q2o. He 4'd from the button and it folded back to me and I min clicked it back which he peeled and on 833 I cb the same amount as my 5b whcih was 12k iirc which he peeled again and the turn came another 8 and I gave up but he checked back so we saw another 8 on the river and the board now read 833 8 8 and he bet 12k into about 54k and I stationed him off to be shown QQ.
I spoke to Paul Jackson later in the day about thesecond hand and he felt that my image was good enough to 5b that spot and he had actually had a side bet with someone that I had minimum KK there but it was just a massive spew that I now regret!
Srry!
