$25-$50 game last night. I open raise from the cut-off with pocket sevens and button calls me. Flop comes 7-6-6 and I am thinking how to extract the maximum. I figure that this guy is calling me with the intention of looking to make a play post flop so I am going to give him ample opportunity to do something fancy so I lead out for half pot and they call.
Turn card is a 3 and I make another half pot bet again giving him the rope to hang himself. River card is a 2 (rainbow board) and I bet half pot again and this time he min raises and I move in on him and he shows 6-6 for quad sixes. How unfair is this when my confidence is still fragile and I am trying to piece things back together. But I have been on bad runs before, I recall a 270BB dip at limit hold’em twice in the space of two months a few years ago.
Another pot sees a guy with $2500 make it $175 to go and I make it $600 with Q-Q, they call. Flop comes J-6-3 rainbow and they check and I bet $800 and they call. Turn card is a deuce and they check and I put them all in and they insta call and show 2-2…..WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those two hands came very close together and my head wasnt right but I stuck in there and played out which I am proud of as I held myself together which in times gone by may have proven to be more difficult but having people to answer to has definitely improved my game. I am a little down since the last post but playing OK I suppose.
