More hands from Tuesday nights game.
The Double Up:
I won a couple of nice pots and knocking out a Yorkie to move slightly ahead of J in chips. So J is the button and I am two to his right. There's a few limpers so with Ah-Qh I raise ~3x BB blinds are at 600-1200. Jason says "all-in" everyone folds and it comes back to me. I pause...ask for time and think..he's been making aggressive bets for awhile now, using his chip stack to push marginal hands out of the pot. I think about it and put him on mid pair...or A-x...our chips stacks are really closely matched, in fact, I have him covered. If i lose Iwill be down to the BB if i win I will be overall chip leader....I am torn but I really feel like I have him beat so I call. He has cowboys. I am a little disappointed at my misread, but feel a hell of a lot better when an Ace comes out on the flop. My aces hold up...as I double up.
Two tables and T:
On the button I am dealt Kd-Jd. So all fold to me and I raise 3x BB. SB folds and T in the BB calls. Flop is Kh-8c-Qd. With top pair and great kicker I bet $3000. T moves all-in...I think either pocket K-Q, Q-Q, or A-K, or maybe even pocket Jacks...I am just so unfamiliar when playing T and she's really good...I have her covered by a ton of chips so I need to think. I call time for the third time that night and really think about the benefits of calling...I have a flush draw and straight draw, but I'd still need running cards. I got a feeling so I call. Yes she has A-K...I am beat. The turn is a 9. Peanut gallery says a 10 gives Tony a straight...sure enough...10 on the river 8-9-10-J-Q. T is out and "They call me Mr Chips!!!" Donkey that I am.
Final table shenanigans:
Coming soon...off to work.
