So I pop into Aspers and play the £40 afternoon tournament. I open KQ and get two caller c-bet and get called, check turn and MP bets and I fold. The guy on my left has poor hygiene and I am facing away as he says “I’m betting in the dark” MP shoves over his 900 raise for 3,000 and with 20BB 6,300 I shove with 88 to get called by QQ from UTG and MP has A5o. Was this a Tony G angle shoot?
Queens hold and I head to cash tables buying in for £100 I run it down to £25 and then add another £100 and hit some hands and get up to £240 in front of me and feeling good and playing well.
A guy who once called me “an annoying cunt” in a tournament where I called the floor and we shared some words before I bust him shortly after opened for £8 from the CO. I re-raised to 1,000 with 9c10c and he called. The flop came 4cAc8c and the CO checked I bet £20 and he called, the turn was a 5d and he checked again. I bet £40 making the pot £102 and he shoved all-in I snapped called and he showed Ah5h and the river came a 5c to give him the full house and £450 pot.
Poker is a brutal game, I played well and lost £240. I shook his hand and said “nice hand” then he dragged the pot as I headed home.
