Sunday is going to be a busy day for me as there are two games on, this one and the league play off later on in the evening.
I enjoy this game lots as its a nice chance to escape the boredom of hold ‘em. It started at 3pm and we proposed a chip count at 9 so that we could enter the evening comp.
We take our seats and there are only 16 runners, being in seat 1 and competent, I get the job of dealing. I don’t think it could of got any better as I dealt myself A A on the button. Mid position raises up, 1 caller, I call, BB raises 5x, mid calls, folds, I call. Flop comes down A K 8, two clubs and I have hit top set, sexy! BB bets, mid position pots, I check I still have the nuts and call. I only call as this guy is committed, if I push and hes on a draw he’s calling. BB folds and the Turn comes down another K and I have just boated, beaten only by Quad Kings, he pushes and I call. Turns out he had 8 8 and also flopped a set and turned a boat… Ouch. River doesnt quad him out and after the first hand we have someone who has lost 10000 chips and im on 24k, ding dong.
Im able to concentrate on my dealing now and pretty much sit back. I hit another few nice ones and by the time we get to the final im on 41k, this one lad was betting like a fool when he was weak, so he paid me off a few times.
Now I dont usually do this, but for some reason when we were down to 5 and I have around 30k still, I started to tilt. It went like this and was like some kind of switch. I mean, seriously i was there to be won, i had loads of chips compared to blinds (300/600) and can afford to wait to pick my spots… But, it all went Pete Tongue, when I lost a big race.
1 player with around 12k pots a flop in Omaha with a board of A Q 3 with 2 clubs, and im sitting with something resembling A Q J 9. I think hes on a draw and instead of folding top two, I decide, hes good enough to fold this and re-pot which would put his last 8k and torn on the line. Not really to my surprise, but to my tilt buttons surprise, he call all in and hit the flush. There was loads of value etc and given the fact I had him on a draw that would kill be if I didnt pair up, my head turned to mash.
The tiltyness of this could of come from the fact I didn’t get out of this casino until 6am this morning and only had 5 hours kip. I don’t know but the next pot I got involved with I went sick. The flop comes down 9 8 6 and I have 6 6 7 A in the BB. I raise and the mid position pots for 7k, I have 21k (still enough for the event) and a set, straight draw and backdoor nut flush draw. I know he has to have the 10 7 to re-pot me back. But i still push all in as although remote outs, still outs that would crush him. He calls as he has around 50k behind and I loose to his 10 straight.
i don’t know why I did this, I don’t tilt like this anymore, I can only put it down to being tired.
Ohh well, I know have 2.5 hours to burn in a casino, with money in my pocket until the next one starts… Shit!
