I had a mixed couple of days on sky poker playing 2p - 4p cash. One bad decision cost me a buy-in. Essentially there was a min raise to 8p and I popped it up to 20c. I think I was re-reraised at which point I could fold, call and see a flop or get it all in. The villain was new at the table but had bought in the full amount. I decided to Jam and got called by AA. I think I really should have folded here. Its really these 1 or 2 bad decisions costing me a buy-in which undo all my previous good work.
I had another situation where I was dealt QQ and re-reraised preflop and the flop came down 678. villain bet into me and I jammed and villain showed 9s10s. sigh. I think this is fairly standard. I don't really think theres any other way of playing the hand apart of jamming pre-flop, which I think is bad. Maybe at a higher level, you can fold QQ here, but at this level I thinkI played it correctly.
Well, I managed to wipe out these losses and make a little bit more money, mainly by taking advantage of some terrible play by my opponents. In one instance, my reraise was met by a shove all-in which I was always going to call , considering it was 1/3 of the pot for me to call , and I was met by K3s. I was ahead and my hand held.
Hopefully a few more players like the one above will come along, and not get lucky.
This is my new blog which will comprise of random ramblings from poker and horseriding
The hand QQ vs Ts9s has a lot of equity preflop, 80% vs 20%, so in the long term you will win a lot. Postflop, is really a very coordinated flop, he got lucky. That's all, move on to the next table.
