After the worst online poker night of my life last night, and it following on this evening (suckout after suckout after suckout - AK with TPTK on the flop with villian catching a Q on the river to make his pocket KQo good was just one of a number of 3 outers I succumbed to), these hands happened at the same time (I was four tabling $1/2). They made up for over half my losses from the last 36 hours in 2 minutes.

Yes, I feared the flush in both pots - the way things have gone, I was actually expecting it. I was more than pleasantly surprised. And the flop bet in the 2nd hand was probably too aggressive, but it was playing slightly behind hand no. 1 and I was feeling frisky.

For the love of all that is good in the world, 3bet the turn in hand 2!

yeah really - but did you see kiemo's QQ hand where he raised before the flop from UTG, check called a Q high flop after THE ENTIRE WORLD CALLED UTG+1's bet?

I know - I'm quite disgusted with myself for that play. Looking back, I can't believe I didn't. But honestly, I'm seeing monster cards everywhere at the moment - the last couple of days have made me fear EVERYTHING. Obviously, two other people held a set of Jacks for a start.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself. Be like the child in your avatar. Filled with wonder of the world and afraid of nothing.

I think you played poorly on the river, or was it excellent in some way that escapes me? How did you know BB had quad tens?

I'll agree I played it poorly (on all streets) but good reads are priceless.

I pulled out of it thanks to an incredible night at one table where I was playing 3-4 handed with an incredibly loose moran who was addicted to donk on my right, and the rock of ages (seriously, 9/6 at a 3-4 handed table) to my left.

Hi Wookie,
I see you hit quite a few different sites in your 5/10 adventure. Do you cast such a wide net looking for good games, or do you not have any particular preference between the rooms?

[ QUOTE ]
Hero thinks about check raising here but figures UTG+1 will bet out turn and he thinks table will call so he decides to wait till turn.

Seemed smart at the time. And [WARNING: results orientated and sarcasm] it saved me 1 SB in the end becuase as the pot got over 15BB, history has shown that I had no chance to win it even if my opponents all folded!

Hi Diet,
I looked at this hand wrong before. I thought there were two tens on the board and you should raise; but there were three. You could have easily laid those quad fives down on the river unless you were eligible for a bad beat jackpot. That was an easy fold, unless you just wanted to see them so you could tell the story. (which isn't a bad reason for one more bet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
