So Teresa's big game was fun and I feel like I did pretty well even though I finished 16/28. I was reading players and made all the right plays except for one major fumble that cost me more than half my chips...Big Mistake!!! Oh well hard hard lesson learned.
The bad play:
I remember the blinds at 200-400 and my stack is at 25k I hold Ah-Ks UTG. I just call...mistake #1...Alex limps. Flop comes K-Q-5 of hearts, with top pair and nut flush draw I check, Alex bets 1200, I raise All-in,...Mistake #2...Alex musta read "flush draw"...he thinks for about 90 seconds and calls with about 13K ...he shows 10-3 of hearts, a made flush. I don't get my 4th heart....Pin a friggin' tail on me already!!! Nice call Alex.
The suck out:
Blinds are 500-1000 and Parag UTG with 6300 goes all in. Everyone folds to me so I go all-in with 10.5K in the cutoff position with pocket Queens. The button and blinds fold. Parag flips over pocket eights. Ok here's where the visions of huge comeback are dashed...flop is 5-6-7....jeeze!!!, The turn brings harmless King, River is...yes, you guessed it a 4. Parag gets the straight to cripple me just minutes before the 2nd break. I am steaming... but not at Parag, he had to make that move, I got unlucky. I was still pissed, but more because of that donkey play I made against Alex that was haunting me the whole rest of the game...
I can't stress how well I played otherwise. If I can keep this level of play from now on I feel like I can start cashing more often.
More soon
