"That's Not The Way to Have Fun, Son"
When the voice of reason calls, there I am to ignore it. Wednesday at Wheeler, after a very good run there I have hit the skids. I pondered long and hard about making the 20 minute drive. Decided to go anyway. I was asked to deal table 3 (24 players), and chipped up nicely. My best hand was JJ, I raised, called by 10/10. Flop was 6/6/6 (sign of the cross quickly made), she led out, I raised, we got them all in and I doubled up. Later, one of my new nemesis players raised to 200, I called with QQ and saw a king high flop. He led out 200 with about 600 behind and I tanked momentarily. If he had more chips I would have folded, but decided to pot commit and re-raise him all-in. He tables AA and I am below starting chip stack.
Combining to 2 tables I eliminate a player when I have AA vs. his A/10. I reach the final table with below average stack. One player is railed, down to 8 players. I am in the small blind at the 200/400 level with 7/8 off. The big blind has been known to get out of hand, and the nemesis from earlier (he has knocked me out twice before) is on the button. Pondered a small blind fold, but hoping to get a great flop and chip up. We see the flop 3 handed and it is 8/9/J with 2 diamonds. I have 1600 behind and make the (bad) decision to shove. Me reasoning? It is a draw heavy board and I caught a piece of it plus a draw. They both call. The turn is what I assume is a great card for me, an 8 giving me trips, but the river brings the flush in and both players shove. The big blind turns over 10/6 of diamonds for the flush, but my nemesis has 8/9 of spades for the full house. The big blind survives as he had more chips, but player down.....me.
A quick observation. When you are running bad, really bad stuff happens no matter how strong you are. Playing an 18 player SNG this morning, down to the bubble, I am in the big blind with my old buddy, 7/8 again and am 2nd in chips. The flop is unbelievable for me 6/9/10 rainbow! Leading out is the chip leader from the small blind, and I happily re-raise him. He shoves and I call, he turns over his slow played AA!!!! The turn is an ace, and the river is a 6 for his full house runner runner. Player down out of the money.
