I made a stupid mistake(s) Friday night because I wasn't thinking, just playing. I am late with 76d. Enough limpers to me to make a limp worth while. Flop comes down A,J,7 rainbow.
One bet, one limper to me, looks like no one has any real interest so I decide I will see the turn. Turn is a 7, now the board is: A,J,7,7 with two spades giving me a set. Checked to me, I bet, first player raises, second player folds. I decide he is on two pair or a draw, who cares, I have a set. I call his raise because I want him to hang around. River card is three clubs, for a board of: A,J,7,7,3 with two spades, and two clubs. Too bad, you missed I think to myself - second thought of the round.... Checked to me I bet out because I have a set, it's hu, he missed his draw, and I am raised??? Of course! He has Top two pair...my bad, gotta start paying attention - even though I am all ready stacking the chips in my head. Okay, I will let him off easy, he is obviously a new player. I call his raise. He shows me J7o. This hand has a lot to think about in retrospect. I played stupidly from the flop onward. Compounding one mistake with another. I lost most of what extra chips I had collected. I made my set on the board, not in my hand - a big difference. I didn't give him credit for anything. I wasn't thinking, just playing. This hand in itself is no big deal - thanks in part to passive betting. But two or three of these a session will make me or you a loser for the night against average to good competition. Don't play like I did with your mind somewhere else. |
