7 2 BLUFF...Diary of a poker player

Dreaming of the top whilst playing at the bottom...

Bad night at Aspers 888 – Don’t misread your hand

Bought in for the 888 at Aspers for £110.

Haven’t played in 2 weeks, limped SB to BB early on and he raised to 300, I re-raised to 1,800 and he called flop came 10 2 2  and I c-bet 2,000 and he raised to 6,000 the turn was a 10 and I checked. He raised 12,000 and I folded by QQ face up, he told me later he had flopped quad deuces.

On another hand I bet top pair on the flop with A8 of diamonds and bet the turn to get min check-raised. I had the nut flush draw so called, the  river came an 8 and I had trip 8s with an ace kicker. He bet 12,000 and I should have folded I talked to him and he seemed relaxed and then his eyes flickered and I convinced myself he had missed a draw, I called and he showed me the turned straight. It was bad play on my part, I had to fold the river it was an easy fold.

Final hand I have 10K and face a Button raise of 700 in the SB I re-raise to 2,100 with A6. BB folds and Button calls, I should have bet 2,400 OOP, the flop comes 10 10 7 and I check button puts me all in and I insta call it off thinking I have A7. He turns over K7 and I say A7 and turn over A6, what a way to bust a tournament.

I missed out on a date with a girl to set fire to £110 in 2 hrs and left feeling miserable.

But not as miserable as Ivey after this hand

Live at the Bike

I enjoy watching videos from the cash game at Live at the Bike, I really look forward to playing there one day.

This is an interesting hand

Watching the 2017 Super High Roller Ball $300,000 Buy-In

I watch a lot of poker, mainly WPT which I record. I try guess what the players will do and the size of the bets. I think it is a good way to learn, Tony Dunst always does some good analysis in his section and by absorption I feel my game improves. I love watching The WSOP and have a host of old series through the years.

Unfortunately the YouTube Video got removed….
