Yep. Lost all my chips on two hands in the last half-hour: ~$2 in a QQ vs. KK match, and ~$4 in a 93 vs. A3 match on a 3238J board. For whatever reason, JC refused to cap every street with his A3 (why be satisfied with 3 bets when you can have 4?), so I threw him my remaining thirty cents at the end of the night. Come to think of it, ER wasn’t doing that much raising with her KK either. I have a feeling the home game might be slightly sLP-P. <\/p>\n
Of course, I was doing my best to be LA-A last night. I jammed most of the pots where I thought I was ahead, which probably drove some of the regulars nuts. For instance, in one early hand I had second pair and after CR checked the flop, I bet the max, and he called. He checked the turn, I bet the max, he called. An ace hit the river, he checked, and I checked along because I knew the fucker spiked his ace. He flips over his AQ and insisted he had to stay in because I had nothing, but I was ahead the whole way with my pair of nines. There’s no way he was getting odds to call a 25c bet into a 20c pot with overcards, but oh well. At least when JB makes unprofitable calls he admits it.<\/p>\n
I only bluffed one hand last night, and this was early on. I had two cards that I was going to fold, but I was curious about the flop, so I raised preflop to see it, got one caller, missed the flop completely, bet the max, and took the pot when the preflop caller folded.<\/p>\n
CR lost his buy-in twice, as you can see (though really he just ceded his remaining chips to ER after getting overly frustrated), but that came from a combination of letting others outdraw him by trying to build pots with draws on the board, and trying to represent hands with big bets. I think CR ought to consider playing no limit if he’s that fond of being tricky.<\/p>\n
Oh, and JB brought presents for everyone. He gave me the Theory of Poker<\/em>. So I guess I’ll have to buy something for him, too. Or just cancel next week’s game.
