I feel like I'm being very self-centered posting these. But just the act of posting these hands has helped me to clearly see where I screwed up. Comments are appreciated.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)
SB (t1595)
Hero (t945)
UTG (t1290)
MP1 (t577)
MP2 (t625)
CO (t950)
Button (t2018)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif. SB posts a blind of t50.
Hero calls t50, UTG calls t50, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t50, CO folds, Button folds, SB (poster) checks.
Flop: (t200) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 bets t50</font>, SB folds, Hero calls t50, UTG folds.
A larger bet would have scared me off here, but I'm thinking he has second pair, or a drawing hand. Maybe that's just what he WANTS me to think!
Turn: (t300) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t50</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises to t100</font>, Hero calls t50.
Still no alarm bells going off.
River: (t500) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 bets t125</font>, Hero calls t125.
OK, there's three clubs on the board... there's a four-card straight on the board... there's an ace on the board... I've got a pair of eights. What the hell was I thinking?
Final Pot: t750
<font color="white">Main Pot: t750 (t750), between Hero and MP2.</font>
Results in white:
<font color="white">MP2 shows a straight, four to eight. Duh. </font>
