Had the damnedest time catching cards and fish tonight at the pot limit tables. All the fish were cleaned out by other players while I folded my flopped nothings. It was probably a clear sign that I needed to change tables, but it was late, and I didn’t want to get up with a loss (i.e., I was fishing for a big win). <\/p>\n
The three or four wins I did get were worth just a few dollars apiece, and I watched my stack slowly dwindling away until I found myself short stacked at a table full of tight people and a few big stacks. Finally I got a hand where big stack #2 bet the pot after pairing the same jack I paired. I had an ace kicker that I suspected was good and raised the pot. He called and then check-called my river push (25% of the pot). I outkicked him and managed to scrape by the night with a 26 cent profit. That’s a glorious win rate of .29BB\/100 hands. At least I can still say that I’ve not had a losing night playing pot limit. Sheesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
