Some Amendments to Last Night's Post

I played a couple more tournaments yesterday that I forgot to post about.

1) $10+1 Multi on Stars. I had a decent stack but lost a ton of chips on this hand. I think I have to call the on the turn getting 5.5:1. As it happens, I have about the only hand this guy can actually beat (and I'm only a 2:1 dog). I considered folding, but people show up with weird shit when they play a hand this way. So I kind of have to call.

2) $20+2 6-handed PL Holdem on Stars -- ended up getting 8th or 9th or something for $77. I don't really like the way I went out, but I can't really see any other way to play it. If anybody plays PL holdem and can figure out a way to not go broke on this hand (without playing like a pussy), please let me know.

3) 3 $5+.5 heads up HORSE sngs on full tilt -- HORSE is fun. I was getting drunk and playing "battleship poker" against my freind Clark. He won 2 out of the 3, but I was playing like a donkey and having fun. Here's my favorite from this. Arrrrrrg. I don't have Full Tilt set to save hand histories on my laptop... damnit. Anyway, I'll recount.

Playing limit holdem, 1st level. I get 5h6d in the SB and raise. Clark calls in the BB. Flop is Ac8c8h. He bets, I raise, he 3-bets, I cap. Turn 4c. He check-raises and I call. River 7s. He bets, I raise, he 3-bets. I look at him and say -- "I just rivered a gutshot. I hope you don't have that beat." Being the nice guy that I am, I don't cap. I call and beat his pathetic flopped trips (K8o). He was pissed.


Looking at the amount of money in my Party account, it looks like the amount I won playing $3/$6 was closer to 50BBs than 100. Weird, I could have sworn it was more than that...

Ok, it's about time to do some Easter hoopla. I think I'm going to play some more today, so hopefully I'll get to update again tonight. Happy easter to all!
