Ever notice how sometimes we zig when we should have zagged, and visa versa? Today was that kind of day for me. Sleeping poorly, waking up at 4:30 a.m., unable to go back to sleep probably should have stayed home. But, since I missed my regular poker day on Sunday, had to play the 10:30 tournament. It started off well, almost doubling up with a turned 2nd nut flush in a multi way pot. Then the zigs began. Raising to $400 with pocket 9's after 2 limpers with 50/100 blinds, the under the gun older guy re raised me to 1200 after big blind called. I immediately knew he was trapping with a big hand, aces or kings. I fold, but the big blind shoves his last 1600 with A/10. UTG predictably tables kings. I am congratulating myself on a good read and good fold until the board pairs 8's and the river is a 9. Who knew? I then proceed to fold a suited king on the button only to see the nut flush appear on the turn and 2 pair win a huge pot. Later fold 10/4 on the button only to see a full house and another missed opportunity. I chase a king high flush draw only to fold on the river when it misses. Lucky for me as a lady had ace high draw.
My last hand was a shove of 4 big blinds with A/Q. A/K calls. Flop is magic, 10/Q/Q but my bd luck continues when a jack hits the river. Like I say, just off key the whole game.
