It Continues...
I played the home game last night and got 2nd in the NLH tourney. I lost all my chips with JT vs. AT on a T-high flop. I think it's virtually impossible to not get all your money in heads up with top pair and only 20 BBs in your stack.
I also went to the casino today and played some live $3/$6 with a full kill for about 7 hours. I got killed. I pretty much felt like I had no idea what I was doing.
I picked up AA and KK 5 times and won with them exactly 0 times. I had AA lose to 23o, 95s, and TT and had KK lose to J4s and 8To. I flopped 2 sets. The first time, I open-raised from the CO with 99 in a kill pot, only the killer called, and he check-folded the flop when I flopped the set. The second time, I flopped a set of 10s in a large multiway pot and ended up losing to the lady who called $6 more out of the BB preflop with K4s then turned a flush. I was unfortunate enough to make the 3rd nuts on the river when the board brought a 4th diamond (but no board pair) so I had to call down. This same lady also rivered me in a pretty big kill pot with her A9 vs. my AJ on a AQ3T9 board.
What a nightmare it was. I also had a streak of about 3 or 4 big blinds in a row where I flopped top pair out of the blind and ended up losing the pot. In one, I flopped top pair with K8o on a 853 flop, check-raised when the button bet and had all 4 of the other people in the pot cold-call 2 bets. Of course when I flopped 2 pair out of the BB shortly after with 95o on the A95 board, everyone folded.
I another kill pot I misread my hand and check-raised a guy with 9s7s on a QsTsTc6h board (I somehow thought I had a double-gutshot to go with my flush draw). I missed, check-folded to the offsuit river K and was shown AcKc. I guess you could say he made a great call on the turn since he had the best hand and all, but pretty much the only things I do this with (when I haven't misread my hand of course) are my super draws and at least trips. So he made a good call against my specific hand but a horrendous call against my range. Bleh.
Another fun one is when I limped UTG with ATo, bet the A35 flop and got called in 2 spots by the button and the big blind. I made 2 pair on the turn and again got called in 2 spots. The river was a 2. The big blind checks, I check, the button bets, the BB check-raises, I fold, button calls with A9o and loses to the ole' A4.
Then some guy got pretty lucky to split 2 pots with me, the first time when he jumped 2 bets on the flop with A6 vs. my A9 on the A55 board and splitting with a river K. The second time, he called me down with 33 vs. my 88 on a J444J board and we ended with a split.
This same guy is part of the play of the day. There are about 5 limpers to our Hero's BB, he raises, all call. Flop comes A29 no hearts. Hero bets, button calls. Turn comes a brick. Hero check-calls. River also bricks, Hero check-calls with Jh6h (no pair, J-high) and beats the button's 45o.
This is the type of brilliance that took all my money today. I need to get drunk. Now.
