table 46, about 3000 in chips

I'm proud of myself. Gank is two to my left and he played 99 UTG + 2 the same way I played TT UTG in the same hand. We both limp in and check or check/call all the way. I win the pot. Up to 3040. A stupid boost to my confidence, but a boost nonetheless.

Is Gank another guy on these boards?

He used to be, but doesn't post anymore. He is Brett Jungblut, bracelet winner and (ex?)member of "the Crew".

yeah, I play good. picked off a river bluff and QTo in the BB flops the nut boat against the case Q, same guy as before. So I'm at 6500

Should i have just pushed the turn instead of trying to milk him for more chips?

I think i probably should have, he'll call a push often enough to make it more profitable than draining 600 from him.

I think you played it well. I wouldn't have pushed. The only thing he would call with is a high flush or draw to a high flush, or the boat.

benneh · #18 08-21-2005, 05:15 PM

i don't know how to fold hands.

back to starting stack, but not bad since i was down to 1k early.

Table 257 ~ 3750 Chips

Had AA, KK twice and QQ in the first 45 minutes so far, but my original table was way too tight.

and out... that flush hand killed me. Now to the only tournament registering.. $3.

Yipee
