the battle of the earn went bad this week - i managed to lose $500 for the week meaning she who must be obeyed is a $4,000 winner for the week but still comfortably behind

i suffered a lot of damage in the 15/30 6 max games - after going around at about 4 BB's/100 hands for 20,000 odd hands i managed to get it below 3 before a small recovery - its still a truckload of winning and a better rate than my 90,000 hand 10/20 stats

winning is a difficult business - much harder than losing - whats hard about winning is that you have to keep on doing it with the expectation of doing it - losing is easy because it doesnt give rise to any expectation

speaking of losing i'm off to the footy so not much time for more - the adelaide crows have hit rock bottom - the coach got sacked 3 weeks ago and our boom recruit of a couple of years ago (the duck) retired prematurely after a serious neck injury - they got spanked by the brisbane lions last week by 24 goals - 24 goals is a lot - say 6/0 6/2 6/1 in a tennis match or 5-0 in that silly round ball game - tonight its the north melbourne kangaroos and i feel the need to drink a lot of beer and scream a bunch

this weeks hand is different to all others appearing in this competition - the player concerned is amongst the best 4-5 regulars in the 15/30 school - he sees less flops than me

usual rules - only posters in the last week from the short handed forum and its not neccesary to nominate suits

i get 10c10h on the button - enormous chook open limps in the cutoff and i knew what to do - BB calls as does chook

flop is 4c 2c 4d - checked to me - BB raises and chook folds - i 3 bet and the BB called

turn is 8d - check/bet/raise/call

river is 5d - bet/call

go the crows

He slowplayed the 2 on you or maybe he just wanted to see that the turn never brought a big card.

Ok, let me demonstrate my horrible hand reading skill once again...

BB has to have a vulnerable hand on the flop, or why check raise and drive out the chook.

Turn is tricky, strong players playing each other is always dicey. I think maybe he thought you would lay down to a second check raise and check raise semi-bluffed the nut flush draw. It would have to hae a two to explain the flop cr, so I guess A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and hope no one else has guessed that yet.


Edit someone guessed A2 as i was posting this, but they didnt put in the diamonds...

My original reply was Ad2d, but I was torn between that and my current response. If it wins I want partial bragging rights /images/graemlins/cool.gif

he had KdQd - perhaps it was a bit misleading to tell you this was a good player - he is definately a good player - after many encounters this is only the second time i have caught him taking a shot at me

maybe i should 3 bet the turn - very unlikely he has a 4 and he is honest pre-flop so he hasnt got a bigger pocket pair

I guess he had some random hand and was just taking a shot at you. Say, KQs?

Am I right? When/ how do I get paid if I am?

Does this rate over 9/10 for BS post of the week? /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
