I hate myself for folding pocket Aces here.
Motorcity casino poker room. 9 handed.
I sat down at 6:10 P.M. and decided I would stay for 6 hours. This is my last hand of the evening. I am UTG and the time is 12:08 P.M. Perfect timing. I am up $330 (33 BB's) and I get dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for my last hurrah. I have totally owned the table this whole night and I have the largest stack at table. A.C. raises UTG, UTG+1 calls (a conservative old lady who is quite decent postflop and knows when shes beat), folded to a MP player who calls (a guy who is literally playing any two, I've seen 92o, J3o, 82o, all manner of garbage. The disturbing thing is that he looks like he graduated from MIT, he is quite good postflop and like the old lady, knows when he is beat.) folded to BB who calls. 4 players to FLOP : 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A.C. bets, old lady calls, "Any two will do" calls, BB folds. 3 players To the TURN: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A.C. bets, Old lady calls, "any two" raises....... Now I fold! Yes, very weak, I know. I was thinking well, I've got $305 left and I would really like to write in my records a $300+ session instead of like $280 or $275 or whatever. So that's why I folded. I convinced myself he hit a flush and I folded so I could put a nice positive round number in my record books. His raise was strange, because although he was playing any two, I never saw him raise without a strong holding. Old lady calls. River is a blank. old lady checks, "any two" bets, old lady calls. Old lady shows 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and "any two" shows A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] for top pair and he drags the pot. Arrrggghhh [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] This was the only time of the night I layed down the best hand post flop! How could I have been so weak!? The whole car ride home, all night, and still, this morning I can't stop thinking about it. Never again will I suspect the worst in a large pot! I had pot odds to call Godammit. Pot odds!!!! |
