Team blonde were represented by Tighty, Red-Dog, spoony & Tighty. Tighty & sonopy busted early, sonopy claimning a bad beat. Guess he had J-8 or some similar jiunk.
50p on stand-by. I need to get this one out of my system.
I doubled up early on. T9 against Greek Jack's AK. K-7-8 flop. I reraised him, he flatcalled. 9 on turn. He bet small. I had pot odds to call. Knew he was strong by now, so didn't raise again. Hit J on river. For some reason he bet, I reraised, he called. That put me up to about 13k. Starting chips 7k. So going great guns.
Later on, still got around 13k. Perhaps chip leader on the table. I have 8-7. Mateyboy raises, rock calls, I call, Joe Grech calls. Flop comes 8-8-3. OR checks, Mateyboy bets 1k (about the pot). I flatcall, pretty sure that he has something like T-T. Grech and OR fold.
Turn is blank (4, I think). He overbets all-in for about 5k. Massive bet. I think about it for a bit. Pretty sure he wouldn't bet a boat on the flop. He was too tight to flatcall a raise with A-8 too.
I call, leaving myself with about 6k. He turns over Q-Q.
Grech says he folded a queen. Great.
River = Q
Hmm.
I pulled myself back up to 11k after knocking Grech out A-A v A-K, then A-Q v 9-9.
Then moved to a tricky table. Sandwiched between bling bling and Micky W. Couldn't get going. Didn't find any hands. Eventually moved with J-T of spades. Called by A-Q of spades. Board gave me a jack on the turn, but a flush on the river.
OUT.
Gutted about the bad beat as that would have put me on around 20k and Iwould have been flying high. Ah well.
I played well though, so not too miffed. Still got the 500 tonight.
More importantly, well done to Tighty earlier this week and good luck to all the blondeites still left in.
