This may have been my best ever poker week. Not necessarily monetarily, but just from total tournament wins (3) and cash game winning sessions (5), and cash game losses ($0). My biggest tournament win was $480, followed by $150 and $150. Cash games were $150, $150, $80, $80, and $8. Would have been more but aces snapped by queens.
Hit one monte carlo yesterday during my big $8 win session. Got all a player's chips in preflop with my JJ vs his KK and flop was: J/J/10. Smallish pot, about $50, but monte was $100.
Quiz time: What is one of the only card matchups that does not yield a chop on a board of AKQJ2?
Answer: 54 vs 43 Happened to me yesterday.
This must be a new week. Bubbled out in big morning tournament. KK vs AQ (I had the kings, and a minature stack). I was rolling along as one of the chip leaders and made a horrible mistake in a blind vs. blind hand. I was small blind with K10 of clubs, I limped (hoping to trap, I guess). Big blind had 9/5 offsuit. Flop came 9 high with 2 clubs. He bet, I called with umteen outs. Turn miss, he bets bigger, like a donk I call. River blanks. Lost half my chips on the one hand. Had I raised, would have won a small pot rather than losing a large one. I could even have check raised the flop and probably gotten a fold. Terrible play. Discovered that it only takes one misplayed hand to ruin a good tournament.
