Playing live = great aid to playing online.

Maybe I do need to get out and play some live poker tonight to get the juices flowing again.

So how many times do you intend to raise the turn with your top fullhouse of 6's full on the turn if the situation comes up again? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Hehe...boy, the tongues are always wagging at that place, aren't they?

But as usual, the details get botched as time goes on. My memory of hands played live is however pretty damn good ...if I say so myself...heh...the hand was played about 10 months ago.

30-60 game. I limp UTG with 66. Michael L (widely recognized to be the best Vancouver player) limps behind me with 55. Patrick (older oriental gentleman) raises behind him. Both blinds call. 5 way action.

Flop: 655 rainbow

Big blind bets out. 3 calls and small blind folds.

Turn: King

Big blind bets. Of course, I like the King as it may have hit Patrick. I consider raising because I think he calls two cold with AK but I had a peek at him and felt that maybe he wasn't all that strong. So, I just smoothcall again.

Surprisingly, Micheal also just smoothcalls on the turn. If I were him, I would definitely have raised with my quads there given that 2 players ahead of him had already put in a bet. Patrick calls.

River: Jack (no flush possible)

bb checks. I bet. Michael raises. Others fold. I 3 bet. he 4 bets.

At this point, I blundered. I should have just called but I put in a 5th bet and called a 6th bet. I even recall pausing and thinking about it after the 4th bet. I thought "he couldn't have KK or JJ, I doubt he has 55 because he didn't raise the turn, so it must be KJ. I'll 5 bet). But I obviously forgot to consider the obvious: That Michael would have trouble making it 4 bets with KJ - not to mention the fact that he prolly would not call the flop with KJ.

So, my inability to properly analyze the hand cost me 2 bets.

But I am sure that the story that is making the rounds is that I lost my car keys on this hand...heh

ciao, bud
