Hello 2+2:
I am going to start posting all of my hands where I make terrible errors that haunt me for the next couple days. I am hoping others will learn from my errors, but mostly I think the effect will be therapeutic.
Here's hand #1 from a $50+5 last night:
Final 3. Button has T135. Hero has T3000. Villain has the rest. BB is T400.
Pre-flop: Hero is dealt 77. Button goes all-in. Hero CALLS. Villain checks.
Flop: Kx4c3c. Hero bets 400. Villain calls.
Turn: 8x. Hero checks. Villain bets T500. Hero folds.
River: 4x. Villain shows J5 - pair of 4s. Button shows A9 - pair of 4s, Ace kicker.
I still went on to get second, but I deserved 3rd after such a stupid move. Villain is even dumber though, and should have had all of their winnings removed.
My though process at the time was that limping increased the odds of getting rid of the button because we would have 2 players in to see the flop. I assumed the villain would not bluff at the pot. Stooopid logic at 1AM.
Correct play: PUSH PRE-FLOP.
I feel better now. If all goes well I won't have any more hands to post for a while.
Peace.
